Hi; I have a climate entity (hot tub) that I can’t monitor for energy consumption, however I have figured out how much energy it uses when the climate attribute changes from “off” to “heat”
I am wondering how I can count how long the attribute is set to “heat” and turn that into an energy sensor so I can track it as an “individual device” in energy monitoring

Hi, you need to make helpers. (time or counters)
and with the stats and historic you can track the durance.
so track the heat and make a template to make the price.
Create a Template Sensor using either the new format:
template:
- sensor:
- name: HVAC Activity
state: "{{ state_attr('climate.hottub', 'hvac_action') }}"
or the old format:
sensors:
- platform: template
sensors:
hvac_activity:
friendly_name: 'HVAC Activity'
value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.hottub', 'hvac_action') }}"
Reference the Template Sensor in the History Stats Sensor:
- platform: history_stats
name: Heating Today
entity_id: sensor.hvac_activity
state: 'heating'
type: time
start: '{{ now().replace(hour=0).replace(minute=0).replace(second=0) }}'
end: '{{ now() }}'
then the Utility Meter - Home Assistant
utility_meter:
heating_time_daily:
source: sensor.heating_today
name: Heating Time Daily
cycle: daily
heating_time_weekly:
source: sensor.heating_today
name: Heating Time Weekly
cycle: weekly
heating_time_monthly:
source: sensor.heating_today
name: Heating Time Monthly
cycle: monthly
heating_time_yearly:
source: sensor.heating_today
name: Heating Time Yearly
cycle: yearly
or with history stats. (example)
sensor:
- platform: history_stats
name: Bedroom Heating Today
entity_id: sensor.bedroom_hvac_activity
state: 'heating'
type: time
start: '{{ now().replace(hour=0).replace(minute=0).replace(second=0) }}'
end: '{{ now() }}'
- platform: history_stats
name: LivingRoom Heating Today
entity_id: sensor.livingroom_hvac_activity
state: 'heating'
type: time
start: '{{ now().replace(hour=0).replace(minute=0).replace(second=0) }}'
end: '{{ now() }}'
- platform: history_stats
name: Basement Heating Today
entity_id: sensor.basement_hvac_activity
state: 'heating'
type: time
start: '{{ now().replace(hour=0).replace(minute=0).replace(second=0) }}'
end: '{{ now() }}'
