How can I save the current time in one automation and then output how much time has passed since the saved time in a second automation?
Like „Time passed: 3 Hours and 28 Minutes“
#Transfer Variable between two Automations

You'd need to store the value in a help of your choice
Okay, and how do I do this now in an automation? I now have the datetime integration. (Sorry I'm new to the homeassistant-game :) )

Using the services mentioned in the docs, along with #1284966664357810196
You really need to share more of what you're doing for anything more detailed

That is my goal:
I have two automations that I want to call up with my voice assistant. One automation saves the time when I go to bed and the other is supposed to retrieve the time when I went to bed and thus output how long I slept.
So automation "good night" saves the current time and automation "good morning" calculates the difference between now and the saved time and reads it out.
I use "Set conversation response" for reading out in the automations

So:
- Save the time in an
input_datetime - Use a #1284966664357810196 for the announcement that provides the time between then and now

Okay, I'm one step further. I have now created a datetime helper. The current time is already saved in my "good night" automation.
How can I output the time difference to now in the "good morning" automation? Or how can I now access the time in the helper?
