This new for condition in automations (if door open for 10 minutes do x)

Does it persist across restarts, or is that still a limitation?

If you are using the triggers from the labs, I can't say for certain, but I believe the only thing that will survive a restart is a timer helper. They *might have added something in labs that I don't know about, however.

reading the code, the labs just encapsulates standard triggers (state). It won't survive the reset.

Ahh, thats a shame 🙁 I thought maybe it'd be timestamps, and then analysed at reboot

Use helpers to store the value and then trigger

It's on my todo list to create a task to "prime" triggers and conditions based on state history, so hopefully we can address this soon!

#

But as of now, they don't survive restarts, no
