Use logbook entries as a trigger condition

Configuration
1

Good day to all,

I can’t figure out how to use logbook entries as a trigger condition.
I need to get the time of the last state change for the Object ID (states.device_tracker.phone.state).

description: ""
mode: single
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.h_outside_camera_motion_alarm
    to: "on"
conditions:
  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ (now() - xxx) < 300 }}"
actions:

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Can you get what you need out of a logbook entry event?

Why does it havvrto come out of the log if you need that data just look at it directly. Why does the logbook need to be involved?

Explain what you’re trying to get done not how you think you want to do it?

I want to perform some action if the binary sensor was triggered and my phone was registered in the wifi network no later than 5 minutes ago.

How about a different condition?

conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: sensor.your_phone_wifi_connection
    state: your_SSID
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 5
      seconds: 0

Edit: Sorry, I think I’ve got that the wrong way round. But you see what I mean. :flushed:

That device tracker entity responsible will have a home or not_home state. You can access the last changed state from there.

The logbook is just logging things - go back to what generates the log in this case the entity change. Which last changed time is logged in the state.

You don’t need the logbook you need the source of the event.

      state: >
        {{ states.[thing].last_changed | as_local | as_timestamp | timestamp_custom('%D %-I:%M %p') }}
