Hi, I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out how to get the number of days in a UTC year.
This sensor works fine if I'm querying the year in local time:
- name: DaysInTheYear state: "{{strptime('12/31/'+((states('sensor.date')|as_datetime).year|string), '%m/%d/%Y').timetuple().tm_yday|int}}"
But I want to query the year in UTC. I know this is a niche case, only affecting me for 6 hours each December 31 , but it would be nice to have.
Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance!

Not sure I fully understand what you want to achieve and why you're ignoring time when it's about timezones but this should do it:
{{ utcnow().replace(day=31, month=12).timetuple().tm_yday | int }}
For local time you can use now() instead of utcnow()

That looks like exactly what I am looking for. I have a “stardate” sensor that I want to base on UTC. Thanks so much for your help!
