timer that counts how much time the tv is on

[upbeat cedar]

Is it possible to start a timer when the tv is turned off, "stop" it when it is turned off for more than 1 minute and make it available at some type of "history"? so I can see the time I'm spending using the tv

i think you can do that kind of thing with the history stats helper

[bitter turtle]

That seems like the point of history_stats

[upbeat cedar]

oh

yeah I forgot about that

thanks

"Estado" = "State"

theres no available options

There are more on the next page. What are you looking for?

[bitter turtle]

and you can just type the state you want

find the entity in -> States and figure out what state you want. If it's a switch, it will be "on"

what should I put here? I want it to track 4 ever(while the tv is on, which was configured in the previous page)

I suggest following the last example in the docs: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/history_stats/#examples

[deep scaffold]

- platform: history_stats
  name: "Temps de chauffage chambre"
  unique_id: "temps_chauffage_chambre_netatmo"
  entity_id: sensor.etat_netatmo_chambre
  state: "heating"
  type: time
  start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"
  end: "{{ now() }}"```

create a template

[bitter turtle]

easier as per the docs:

start: "{{ 0 }}"
end: "{{ now() }}"

that's "4 ever"

[ivory totem]

start: "{{ now().replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0) }}"

This could also just be start: "{{ today_at() }}"

kinda doesnt work

[bitter turtle]

It does. Toggle power on the TV

[upbeat cedar]

it is already

[bitter turtle]

What I wrote above works for me

[upbeat cedar]

okay so it showed up that

and I manually checked on smartthings

and it have been on for 5 hours the entire week

and I installed home assistant for the first time a week ago

any way to reset that?

[bitter turtle]

That's 5 days. My guess is that you chose the wrong entity

[upbeat cedar]

I don't think so

im trying to check how much time my tv switch stays in "on" state

and the name of the entity is switch.tv

I probably could start tracking from now by changing that

[bitter turtle]

you can use whatever start or end time you want, and the docs show many examples
