Add a Service: Increment Counter about ha-measureit

Not saying this is not a good idea, but can't you do something like this in MeasureIt, instead of having an automation and input_boolean in between?

{{ states('sensor.my_coffee_machine_power') | float < 10 and now() - states.sensor.my_coffee_machine_power.last_changed > timedelta(seconds=5) }}

thanks a lot for your suggestion.
but, well, it's not that easy.
the power consumption for brewing a coffee, just rinsing, or doing maintenance would trigger the mentioned template and count coffees not being brewed. Not do speak about the power consumption profiles of a dish washer, a dryer or a washing machine.
