Trigger Based Template Sensor
Referring page: Dynamic Weather Dashboard
This is the yaml to create a “max_temperature” trigger based template sensor in Home Assistant. It captures the current day’s max temperature along with the time it occurred. Attributes are used capture the same data points for: this week, this month, this year, and the all time high.
Sensor Code:
- trigger:
- id: daily_reset
platform: time
at: '00:00'
- platform: template
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.outdoor_temperature_merged') | float(0) > states('sensor.max_temperature_san_jose_today') | float(0) }}"
#- platform: state
# entity_id: sensor.outdoor_temperature_merged
#- platform: state
# entity_id: input_boolean.test_toggle
sensor:
- name: Max Temperature San Jose Today
unique_id: max_temperature_san_jose_today
unit_of_measurement: "°F"
device_class: temperature
