Write value to InfluxDB

[armin-gh (ArminH)]

Hi
because this recent thread I opened helps you, I had the same challenge, using a template sensor with an addtional attribute based on now()

InfluxDB to store data in intervals

Hi at least as a workaround this works for me: binary_sensor: - platform: template sensors: tbalkontuer: value_template: "{{ states('binary_sensor.balkontuer') }}" friendly_name: "Template Balkontür" device_class: door unique_id: tbalkontuer attribute_templates: update_now: "{{ (now().minute / 5) | round(0) }}" Gets updated every 5 minutes ( at 03, 08, 13, … due to the rounding), using now() only updates every minute. Next step is…

My sample updates automatically every 5 minutes to keep the query in Grafana happy.
