I have a php script that acts as a sensor. The script sometimes goes unknown for 5 minutes or so. This is not a problem, but the sensor immediately goes to “unknown”. Is there a way to delay the unknown state for maximum 5 minutes and just stay at the previous value?
- sensor:
command: /opt/homebrew/bin/php /Users/server/Steuerung/homeassistant-config/php/satellit.php
value_template: >-
{% if value_json is defined %}
{{ value_json.WolkenDichteIR }}
{% else %}
{{ "unknown" }}
{% endif %}
scan_interval: 60
name: Wolkendichte Online
unit_of_measurement: "%"
