feature request: add max as an attribute

[erkr]

Hi

I’m a very happy user of this card. Thanks! As I also wanted to have notifications, I wrote automations for each entity in the card.

There is a maintenance issue with that approach as the max time in the card is defined independently from the max I use in the automations.

It would really help if the max in the card was added to the helper entity as an extra attribute. That would allow automations to lookup the max value.

Have to admit that I don't know if this is possible in a card, nor if the extra attributes will persist a reboot ( I'm afraid not).

Alternatively it would be great if you can point me out how to read the max values of the card in an automation or script.

Best Eric

Update @a-p-z I wrote a PyScript: https://gist.github.com/erkr/45d6d82053d20001976b29e19ae2e7de That script needs the PyScript integration. It adds a service that looks-up all custom:datetime-card based cards in a particular dashboard. There it evaluates all entities if they exceed the max time configured in that card and then sends a notification for them. Maybe nice to reference my Gist in your readme before closing this issue ;-) I run the service once a day in a time-triggered automation Best Eric

@a-p-z , I still see that a warning that I (as first time contributor) need a workflow approval for this pull request. Do I have to do something ? Best Eric
