This blueprint stopped working for me yesterday with these errors:

I wonder if it's possible to modify the blueprint to use entity attributes too.
When using localtuya with a switch sensor - the current data is with an attribute, not an individual sensor.

I obviously can create a template sensor for that, but still...

One more question.
I want to add to the notification the following information:

1. Duration (in minutes)
2. Total power consumption

I want the action to look something like:

action:
  service: telegram_bot.send_message
  data:
    target: !input telegram_chat_id
    message: >
      Appliance has finished running for {{ time_running }} with a power consumption of {{ power_consumed }}.

Anyone has any idea if and how could this be possible?
I thought of adding within the pre_actions a set for a time helper sensor.
But I have no idea how to:

1. Calculate the duration between times
2. Calculate the total consumption
