Waze travel time in notification

Configuration
1

I want to try to use out the waze travel time in a notification message.
So the Duration attributes ( which is in minutes and has decimals ).

I tried:

    data_template:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "{{ states('sensor.work_to_home.duration') }}"

But I get unknown and

    data_template:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "{{ states('sensor.work_to_home.duration') | int | timestamp_custom('%H:%M:%S', 0) }}"

Always gives 00 00

So any tips or examples on how to get the data and nicely format this?

The states() function takes one parameter, which is an entity_id. sensor.work_to_home.duration is not a valid entity_id. sensor.work_to_home is.

You can do:

    data_template:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "{{ states('sensor.work_to_home') }}"

or:

    data_template:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "{{ state_attr('sensor.work_to_home', 'duration') }}"

Both will show minutes. If you want HH:MM, then:

    data_template:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "{{ states('sensor.work_to_home')|int|multiply(60)|timestamp_custom('%H:%M', false) }}"

or:

    data_template:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "{{ state_attr('sensor.work_to_home', 'duration')|multiply(60)|timestamp_custom('%H:%M', false) }}"

Haa I see! Ok thx @pnbruckner for the clarification! Will try your samples as soon as I’m back at my home assistant :slight_smile:
