Long term statistics are very useful, because they allow you to keep your database size small while keeping relevant information for a long time. Currently long term statistics only work on numeric sensors, storing a min, max and avg value per hour. I would like to see long term statistics on binar…

Oooh. Good one. I have wanted this before when comparing my “fan needed” binary sensor to humidity past my keep days date.

In theory this could also be translated to any on/off entity platform/domain

Summary Home Assistant’s current long-term statistics mechanism does not support binary sensors (binary_sensor.* ). This leads to data loss for discrete sensor state changes (0 → 1 , 1 → 0 ) over time, as they are not stored in the compressed long-term statistics format. Given that binary sensor dat…

If a full-fledged implementation is complex or not a priority, it would still be great to have an option to store binary sensor state changes without associated metadata , as a lightweight alternative.

Sorry WTH month closed in January. Please create a new Feature request instead (if there is not already one for this you can vote for).

Thanks Tom, I made a new feature request yesterday.

WTH are there no long term statistics for binary sensors?
