The `trend` platform allows you to create sensors which show the trend of numeric `state` or`state_attributes` from other entities.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This sensor requires two updates of the underlying sensor to establish a trend - so it can take some time to show an accurate state.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It can be useful as part of automations, where you want to base an action on a trend.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To enable Trend binary sensors in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||||
|
binary_sensor:
|
||||||
|
- platform: trend
|
||||||
|
sensors:
|
||||||
|
solar_angle:
|
||||||
|
friendly_name: 'Sun rising'
|
||||||
|
entity_id: sun.sun
|
||||||
|
sensor_class: light
|
||||||
|
attribute: elevation
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Configuration variables:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **sensors** array (*Required*): List of your sensors.
|
||||||
|
- **friendly_name** (*Optional*): Name to use in the Frontend.
|
||||||
|
- **sensor_class** (*Optional*): The [type/class](/components/binary_sensor/) of the sensor to set the icon in the frontend.
|
||||||
|
- **entity_id** (*Required*): The entity that this sensor tracks.
|
||||||
|
- **attribute** (*Optional*): The attribute of the entity that this sensor tracks. If no attribute is specified - the sensor will track the state.
|
||||||
|
- **invert** (*Optional*): Invert the result (so `true` means decending rather than ascending)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## {% linkable_title Examples %}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In this section you find some real life examples of how to use this sensor.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### {% linkable_title Temperature trend %}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This example indicates true if the temperture is rising:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
binary_sensor:
|
||||||
|
- platform: trend
|
||||||
|
sensors:
|
||||||
|
temperature_up:
|
||||||
|
friendly_name: 'Temp increasing'
|
||||||
|
entity_id: sensor.skylight_temperature
|
||||||
|
sensor_class: heat
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And this one indicates true if the temperture is falling:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```yaml
|
||||||
|
binary_sensor:
|
||||||
|
- platform: trend
|
||||||
|
sensors:
|
||||||
|
temperature_down:
|
||||||
|
friendly_name: 'Temp decreasing'
|
||||||
|
entity_id: sensor.skylight_temperature
|
||||||
|
sensor_class: cold
|
||||||
|
invert: Yes
|
||||||
|
```
