Uptime sensor in hours or days?

ESPHome
28

Thanks for sharing this @JayElDubya, I used it and added the “Starting up” to take care of the huge negative number right after flashing.

    lambda: |-
      int seconds = (id(${node_name}_uptime_raw).state);
      int days = seconds / (24 * 3600);
      seconds = seconds % (24 * 3600);
      int hours = seconds / 3600;
      seconds = seconds % 3600;
      int minutes = seconds /  60;
      seconds = seconds % 60;
      if ( days > 3650 ) {
        return { "Starting up" };
      } else if ( days ) {
        return { (String(days) +"d " + String(hours) +"h " + String(minutes) +"m "+ String(seconds) +"s").c_str() };
      } else if ( hours ) {
        return { (String(hours) +"h " + String(minutes) +"m "+ String(seconds) +"s").c_str() };
      } else if ( minutes ) {
        return { (String(minutes) +"m "+ String(seconds) +"s").c_str() };
      } else {
        return { (String(seconds) +"s").c_str() };
      }

I also determined that the huge negative number was causing a boot loop on the ESP32 so now I have used this code to reflash all my ESPHome devices so they come up with more readable and accurate values. :slight_smile:
