Add Input Number helpers to long term statistics

[chopper145]

Describe your idea

I want to see the history of my input numbers. Now I need to do it with a template that mirrors the input number. So for every input number there is an additional helper to have stats.
Maybe you can add an option to the helper, a box to tick: "Add to statistics"

Why is this exciting?

This would enable to see the history of the values of the input numbers.

Potential use cases

I myself have programmed some templates for house costs as electricity, water and gas. And it would be interesting to have a history of the tariff values as they changed over the years. These values changes once a year, as of now.

Anything else?

History stats is an integration (which supports input number), but I think you're referring to long term statistics. Let me know if I've misunderstood (renamed the topic)

I think you renamed it the right way. thank you.

Yes I saw this integration.

I just don't get that to where I want it to have.

I don't know what to add in the State field. And then I need to choose from the three possibilities: Time, Count, Ratio. For me all of this is not the right thing.

I would like to choose "number" for state to observe, and in the drop down I would like to choose nothing because its a value from a helper. I might be too dumb to configure this the right way. I also could not find a list of allowed values for the states field to type in. Or a rule what is allowed or not.

If I just could enable an input number to be in long time stats, that would be perfectly fine.
And otherwise i think I use the template helper to state the value which works fine. Its just an inconvenience to use one more helper than needed.

I think this request is fine as it is now.

History_stats is not what you wanted, it does not help with long term storing of values.
