'Cleaned Today' history_stats sensor instead of input_boolean

Took a lot of inspiration from your YAML (iets met Goede en Grote Kunstenaars...) so I'd figured I return the favor because I just started with HA and we have the same Vacuum cleaner.

My Roborock has a nasty error 13 which says that the charging pads are not clean. Well, they very much are. So almost every day, the Roborock gives me an error when Docked and will undock and therefore lose battery until it's dead. Happened a couple of times now pre-HA, where I just moved the Roborock back to the dock. With HA, I now wrote an automation that returns the Roborock after 1 minute when its status is error.

You'll probably guess by now, but since the status will turn from returning to docked when this error happens, I get spammed with notifications. It was a nice idea working with some kind of input_boolean, but you need to condition for it and write an automation to reset the input_boolean.

So after some rabbit-holing, I came up with a history_stats sensor with the following configuration:

---
# History Statistics Sensor to check if Vacuum has cleaned today. Resets itself during the night.
# 
- platform: history_stats
  name: Cleaned Today
  entity_id: vacuum.roborock_vacuum_s5
  state: 'cleaning'
  type: count
  start: '{{ now().replace(hour=0).replace(minute=0).replace(second=0) }}'
  end: '{{ now() }}'

This sensor counts the times the Roborock has cleaned. So if it cleans 10m, it will count as 1.

In my automation, I added the following:

---
# Automation to notify devices of succesful cleaning
# 
alias: "Vacuum: stopped cleaning"
id: "vacuum_stopped_cleaning"
trigger:
  platform: state
  entity_id: vacuum.roborock_vacuum_s5
  from: returning
  to: docked
condition:
  alias: "Checks if Vacuum already cleaned today"
  condition: numeric_state
  entity_id: sensor.cleaned_today
  below: 2
action:
  - service: notify.justin
    data:
      title: "Vacuum"
      message: "Cleanup successful after {{ state_attr('vacuum.roborock_vacuum_s5', 'cleaning_time') }} minutes."

A shorter road to Rome and no input_boolean / helper needed!

Quick fix for failing '0m' in hours outside sensor

I've implemented a quick fix for your issue that the hours outside sensor doesn't work with '0m'.
It does never work when the value has less than 3 arguments. I've added some dummy arguments if there are too few.

Just a quick hack. This can be programmed more efficiently, I guess.
That's why I haven't send a PR.

lights_on_total_hours question

Hey first of all, many thanks for the publication of your script! it is great! Especially at the beginning it is nice if you can get ideas and suggestions here.

but i have a question about your lights_on_total_hours.
you enter different float for the different states here ?!? can you explain to me why that is?

    lights_on_total_hours:
      unit_of_measurement: h
      value_template: >
        {{ states('sensor.hours_bedroom_lights_have_been_on_last_7_days')|float * 7
            + states('sensor.hours_living_room_lights_have_been_on_last_7_days')|float * 5
            + states('sensor.hours_toilet_light_has_been_on_last_7_days')|float * 1
            + states('sensor.hours_bathroom_light_has_been_on_last_7_days')|float * 1
            + states('sensor.hours_kitchen_lights_have_been_on_last_7_days')|float * 2
            + states('sensor.hours_hall_lights_have_been_on_last_7_days')|float * 5
            + states('sensor.hours_bathroom_light_has_been_on_last_7_days')|float * 1 }}

in the part where you add up the total costs, I am also a little surprised.
As an entity you have specified "hours_bathroom_light_has_been_on_last_7_days".
are you doing this on purpose? so that you have a close look at the code and not just copy your script? ;)

- entity: sensor.hours_bathroom_light_has_been_on_last_7_days
      icon: mdi:clock
      name: Total cost estimate for last 7 days
      secondary: 'Total is {{ states(''sensor.lights_on_total_hours'') | round(1)
        }} hours, {{ states(''sensor.lights_on_total_kwh'') | round(1) }} kWh, €{{
        (states(''sensor.lights_on_total_kwh'')|float * 0.21) | round(2) }}.
        '
      state: '{{ states("sensor.hours_bathroom_light_has_been_on_last_7_days") }}
        h'
      type: custom:template-entity-row
    title: Lights on last 7 days
    type: entities

I have included 2 of my entities for the time being. one lamp was on for 1.26 h in the last 7 days. The other 8.08h

However, total coast has a value of 49.22 hours. but that doesn't work with the two lamps ?! Does that have something to do with the float values?

Remove Push from iOS:

Hi,

I came here from your reddit post made 2 years ago,

I just want you to notice that starting from 2022.04 the "push" option is deprecated and it have to be removed from the iOS integration.

Please see the message below:

"WARNING:homeassistant.components.ios:The 'push' option is deprecated, please remove it from your configuration"

You will update your automations accordly?

Moreover did you upgraded some of the action from AW? You already helped me so much but I was wondering if you have some other userful thing to share :)

Thank you

"Alarm clock" in README is a broken link under AppDaemon heading.

configuration does not include switch to lovelace-ui.yaml

Looking at configuration.yaml, I was expecting to see the lines

lovelace:
  mode: yaml

You have presented your dashboard in the file lovelace-ui.yaml
Without these, HA utilizes 'storage' mode, for dashboard configuration - located at /config/.storage/lovelace.dashboard_[name]
I don't see how lovelace-ui.yaml in your repo is loaded without switching lovelace to yaml mode.

Conbee II firmware

First I upgraded to

1. deCONZ_ConBeeII_0x26650700.bin.GCF (problems with ZHA)
2. deCONZ_ConBeeII_0x26660700.bin.GCF (problems with ZHA)
3. deCONZ_ConBeeII_0x26580700.bin.GCF (problems with ZHA)
4. deCONZ_ConBeeII_0x26570700.bin.GCF (problems with ZHA, see zigpy/zigpy-deconz#140 (comment))

So I went back to the latest firmware (deCONZ_ConBeeII_0x26660700.bin.GCF).

See versions on http://deconz.dresden-elektronik.de/deconz-firmware/

Flash with

sudo GCFFlasher_internal -t 60 -d /dev/ttyACM0 -f deCONZ_ConBeeII_0x26580700.bin.GCF 

Both give me issues, I could try: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/conbee-zha-firmware/104353/17?u=basnijholt

Code for YAML to remove the menubar in home assistant per your theme?

I have the below code which I think worked on other themes before, when added to the active theme yaml.
Can it be adopted for your themes by any chance?
Or do you have some other code that means when you switch to one of these themes, the menubar goes away?
Many thanks regardless

the automations don't change anything, can you help me?

Add total per category in table

Include screenshots for the configuration

I love the detailed configuration files and the ios theme you developed. However, I cannot find an up to date screenshot of this configuration. The real life example from home-assistant-macbook-touch-bar is unclear and the examples in lovelace-ios-themes seem outdated.

Could you provide some up to date screenshots of your home assistant?

Vacation mode

Hi Bas,

Thank you for publishing your configuration! :)

I have a question about vacation mode.
I cannot find any references in your configuration to the vacation mode boolean beside the automation itself. For what are you using vacation mode? Random lightning etc?

missing daily_power_peak & offpeak

Hey!

your sensors.yaml is amazing!

I'm looking for a way to "measure" my light entities
your code looks promising. But I somehow I miss daily_power_offpeak and daily_power_peak

Are you missing these two entries? Or am I missing something?

Clock in header

Hi,

I've been searching in your lovelace yaml but couldn't find how you've put the clock in your header.
I would really like to know how I can do this in my config. I've already installed the iOS themes but I guess I'll need to put some code in the lovelace.yaml to make it happen.

Thanks in advance!

Nice dashboard btw!

Upgrade yaml for ios after changes with 2021.05 version for HA companion

Hi,

looking at this (https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/05/10/ios-20215/) automation can be simplier now.

Why don't you upgrade your configuration (it still works of course, it's just a suggestion :) )
