Nice tutorial! You used a date time helper. I did something similar using a timer helper instead.
You set the timer for your duration, then every time you turn on/off the boiler you ‘reset’ the timer. You can then have a trigger in your automation for when the timer reaches zero. Same solution but without the need to work with templates and other ‘codish’ things.
Timer Helper
@Bluesheep does it survive a reboot of Home Assistant? I didn’t test it, but I think it does since some time ago.
Yes, as long as you use the
restoreoption, if a timer were to finish while Home Assistant is offline, when it starts up again the event will fire and any automations listening for the event will be triggered. Timers are incredibly powerful.
