Some useful packages for use in esphome

battery_notes.yaml

This package is supposed to mimic the functionality offered by andrew-codechimp's HA-Battery-Notes, ie. it adds sensors that show the battery type, quantity and to set timestamp when you exchange the battery. Requires a time source to be configured and its id passed as one of package vars. The timestamp is stored persistently.

Example usage:

packages:
  battery_notes: !include
    file: battery_notes.yaml
    vars:
      battery_notes_time_id: homeassistant_time
      battery_notes_type: AAA
      battery_notes_count: 2

The above example will create for you 3 entites (visible to user) and a persistent global (battery_last_replaced_global). Here are the ids of these entities:

• battery_last_replaced_sensor - a timestamp field that shows when the battery was last replaced
• battery_type_text - a text field showing battery type and quantity
• battery_replaced_button - a button for user to press to set the timestamp to current time.

count_events.yaml

This package will help you keep track of the number of any events. It provides a sensor and a simple esphome script to be executed when an interesting even has occur.

Example usage:

packages:
  event_counter: !include
    file: count_events.yaml
    vars:
      event_counter_name: count_triggers
      event_counter_friendly_name: "Total triggers"

...

sensor:
  ...
  on_turn_off:
    then:
        - script.execute:
            id: count_triggers
            by_value: 1

The above will create for you a sensor that shows the current count. The id of this sensor is ${event_counter_name}_sensor. The state of this sensor is stored persistently and it's restored on startup.
