User Zone Time Tracking

Configuration
1

Has anybody developed a way to track each person and how long they’re in each zone?

Something like…
User-1

  • ZoneA = 27 minutes
  • ZoneB = 14 hours, 15 minutes
  • ZoneC = 4 hours

User-2

  • ZoneA = 58 minutes
  • ZoneB = 9 hours, 55 minutes
  • ZoneC = 6 hours

Yes!

For example, this will measure per day, resetting at midnight:


- platform: history_stats
  name: Something
  entity_id: person.xxx
  state: THE_STATE_TO_TRACK
  type: time
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"

Thanks!
That looks helpful…

Does that mean I’ll have to set the state: THE_STATE_TO_TRACK for each zone?

I think so: A sensor for each person, and value per zone.

Just to come back to this to see if I have this correct, I would need to create multiple for each person AND zone?

As something like this will calculate when they’re at all those places?

PersonA
-Zone ‘home’

- platform: history_stats
  name: Person A - Zone home
  entity_id: person.a
  state: >
         - home
         - away
         - work
  type: time
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"

So needs to be something like this…

PersonA
-Zone ‘home’

- platform: history_stats
  name: Person A - Zone home
  entity_id: person.a
  state: >
         - home
  type: time
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"

PersonA
-Zone ‘away’

- platform: history_stats
  name: Person A - Zone away
  entity_id: person.a
  state: >
         - away
  type: time
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"

PersonA
-Zone ‘work’

- platform: history_stats
  name: Person A - Zone work
  entity_id: person.a
  state: >
         - work
  type: time
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"

PersonB
-Zone ‘home’

- platform: history_stats
  name: Person B - Zone home
  entity_id: person.b
  state: >
         - home
  type: time
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"

PersonB
-Zone ‘away’

- platform: history_stats
  name: Person B - Zone away
  entity_id: person.b
  state: >
         - away
  type: time
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"

PersonB
-Zone ‘work’

- platform: history_stats
  name: Person B - Zone work
  entity_id: person.b
  state: >
         - work
  type: time
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"

That’s what I had in mind. I don’t know if it could be simplified.

This doesn’t work for me. My time always stays at 0. The zones are correcty tracked in the person entity, but I can’t extract the hours per day. Does the state have to be exactly called as the zone name? I tried “work” and “Arbeit” (as my zone is actually called).

Same for me, tracking time stays on 0.0?

hi,
I do this on my side in my sensors.yaml:

  • platform: history_stats
    type: time
    name: Zone_Work_Today
    entity_id: person.a
    state: ‘Travail’
    start: “{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0) }}”
    end: “{{ now() }}”
    But sometimes I lost data, I don’t know why :frowning:
    i have sensor for Today,weekly,yearly.
