First Session / Last Session as MQTT Sensor

[AdmiralRaccoon]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Am I willing to test this? 🧪

• I will do my best to test this feature on the netlertx-dev image when requested within 48h and report bugs to help deliver a great user experience for everyone and not to break existing installations.

Can I help implement this? 👩‍💻👨‍💻

• Yes
• No

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

no

Describe the solution you'd like

Two more Sensors would be nice, which are providing the first & last session dates to work with in Home Assistant

Describe alternatives you've considered

A sensor template would be an option from the "last update" Attribute within Home Assistant, but that would require much more work. :-D

Anything else?

This should be available in the next release. Please have a look at the netalertx-dev docker image, in about 15 minutes (or after the last action finishes) from now.

👉If I don't get a confirmation that this is working I might pull out the feature to prevent bugs.

Make sure you refresh your browser cache - and click the 🔄 refresh button in the top right corner.

Thanks in advance,

great, my previous response with a screenshot vanished. Or maybe i just forgot to submit.

Anyway, just wanted to say that it worked and the two new sensors appeared in home assistant.
Although the formatting seems a little weird, but I guess that is a home assistant thing then? (2024-06-07 07:25:46+02:00)

Okay, i can still see it in the HA history:
