calc_conditional_avg

What Does it Do?

calc_conditional_avg Calculates an Average, conditionally. It takes the average of multiple sensors, but only includes that sensor in the average if a condition is met.

A use case for this would be to calculate the average temperature of any occupied rooms.

Using it!

This works as an "app" in pyscript. Therefore, pyscript is required and configuration is done through Home Assistant's configuration.yaml file.

You can see a full configuration example in this repository.

These are the configuration keys:

key	description	example	default
entity_id (required)	the full entity_id for this app to publish the calculation to. use caution to select an entity_id that is not already in use as this app will overwrite any existing value	sensor.conditional_avg	No Default
unit_of_measurement (optional)	the units for the sensor you are creating	°F	No Unit
friendly_name (optional)	the human readable name for this sensor	Conditional Average	entity_id
precision (optional)	the number of decimal places the result should be rounded to	1	0
conditions (required)	a list of conditions	see below	No Default

Each Condition Should have the following keys:

key	description	example	default
condition (required)	a entity_id that will have a state of on when this sensor should be included in the average	binary_sensor.room1_occupied	No Default
entity (required)	the entity_id of the sensor whose value should be included in the average	sensor.room1_temperature	No Default

Requirements

• PyScript custom_component

Install

Install this script

# get to your homeassistant config directory
cd /config

cd pyscript
mkdir -p apps/
cd apps
git clone https://github.com/dlashua/pyscript-calc_conditional_avg.git calc_conditional_avg

Edit configuration.yaml

pyscript:
  apps:
    calc_conditional_avg:
      - entity_id: sensor.avg_occupied_temperature
        unit_of_measurement: "°F"
        friendly_name: Avg Occupied Temperature
        precision: 1
        conditions:
          - condition: binary_sensor.room1_occupied
            entity: sensor.room1_temperature
          - condition: binary_sensor.room2_occupied
            entity: sensor.room2_temperature
