Multiple profiles for different users?

[quack3d]

The wife wants to use the treadmill and the treadmill itself doesn't support profiles. Do you have any suggestions on how to log different users? In some way that I can have separate statistics sensors like in #5 . Maybe it would be possible with a template switch that if set to wife, statistics will be on one sensor and if set to me statistics will be on another sensor? Other ideas?

I went with the idea I had. I created an input_select with our names and then:

template:
  - sensor:
      - name: "Treadmill Daily Steps Me"
        unique_id: treadmill_daily_steps_me
        value_template: >
          {% if is_state('input_select.treadmill_user', 'Me') %}
            {{ states('sensor.treadmill_step_count') }}
          {% else %}
            0
          {% endif %}

And similar for the wife. Then:

- platform: statistics
  name: Treadmill Daily Steps Me
  entity_id: sensor.treadmill_daily_steps_me
  state_characteristic: sum_differences_nonnegative
  max_age:
    hours: 24

And similar for the wife.

I guess that should work but I'm unable to test it at the moment. It would probably work better if I can figure out a way to make HA know it's me or the wife using the treadmill automatically - instead of selecting names manually. I have to think on that.

Feel free to close this issue unless you have a better idea than the above. 😊
