You can use that to create an entity that gives you that value, and then display that entity

[restive quarry]

Let me try.

[restive quarry]

so, this is my config

- platform: history_stats
  type: count
  name: MDOpenCount
  entity_id: binary_sensor.md_door
  state: on
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0).replace(minute=0).replace(second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"

The counts stays at 0 what am I missing here?

Is there a way to check if the door "on" and "off" is recorded in history_stats?

[misty hare]

Do you have the new sensor.mdopencount entity?

[restive quarry]

Yes.

It's not incrementing.

Then head over to #1284966582375813201 where somebody can help you fix the integration

[restive quarry]

Sure. Thanks for your help.

I think it might need to be state: "on"

IIRC on is one of those special yaml keywords that's actually a boolean

[restive quarry]

Damn.

Thanks @lavish oasis - it worked.
