A binary chart is useless to know when a front door was last opened: a door opens for 10 seconds, which is an invisible spike at any chart scale (and reading it requires clicking at the right pixel).
This PR adds what was asked on the forum: a per-box option, "display the date of the last state change", which shows under the state of every binary sensor of a devices / devices in room box the date at which this state was reached — as a relative time, like the "Users present" widget already does. It is generic: any read-only binary feature (opening sensor, motion sensor, presence, leak, smoke, lock…) benefits from it, and it stays configurable, off by default.
Why not last_value_changed? Because it is not the last change: it is refreshed on every state report, even when the device re-publishes the value it already had — this is exactly the bug #2871 fixed by removing the "last motion" date from motion sensors. The only source of truth for a real value change is the state history, where a change is a state whose value differs from the value of the state right before it. That is what this PR reads.
Server
New device.getLastStateChanges(deviceFeatureSelectors) (server/lib/device/device.getLastStateChanges.js): resolves, for each requested feature, the date of its last real value change, using a LAG(value) OVER (PARTITION BY device_feature_id ORDER BY created_at) window function on t_device_feature_state.
Features that are unknown or that do not keep history are simply left out of the response; a feature whose value never changed in its history is returned as null.
The query runs over progressively widening lower time bounds (1 h → 1 day → 7 days → 30 days → 365 days → unbounded), stopping as soon as every feature has an answer. This follows the same reasoning as device.getDeviceStatesHistory: states of all features are interleaved in time order, so a created_at >= ? bound lets DuckDB prune old row groups with its zone maps, and the common case (a door opened today) is answered by the first, cheapest query. Windows are anchored on the most recent activity of the requested features so stale devices do not burn every narrow window.
New authenticated route GET /api/v1/device_feature/last_state_changes?device_feature_selectors=a,b returning { "<selector>": "<date>" | null }.
Front
New checkbox in the box editor of both the devices and devices in room boxes (shared DisplayLastStateChangeOption component), stored as display_last_state_change in the box config.
DevicesBox fetches the dates only when the option is enabled and only for read-only binary features, and refreshes them live over the websocket — but only when the new value actually differs from the displayed one, so a sensor re-publishing the same value never resets the displayed date.
SensorDeviceFeature renders the relative date under the state, or "No state change recorded" when the history holds no change.
Tests pass: cd server && npm test — the only failures are the ~17 pre-existing environment failures of this sandbox (gateway backup/restore needing the sqlite3 CLI, Docker/network tests); nothing touched by this PR fails. New tests: server/test/lib/device/device.getLastStateChanges.test.js (10 cases, 100 % statement/branch/line coverage on the new lib file, verified locally with c8) and two new cases in server/test/controllers/device/device.controller.test.js for the new route. Cypress was not run (no browser binary available in the sandbox); no existing spec under front/cypress/e2e/ covers the devices boxes.
Linter and prettier pass on both front and server (npm run eslint, npm run prettier / prettier-check), plus npm run compare-translations and npm run build on the front.
No undocumented breaking change — the option is off by default and no existing behavior changes when it is off.
⚠️ This pull request was opened by an automated Claude Code run. It needs a human review before merging: please check the behavior on real devices (in particular the widening-window query on a large history) before shipping it.

A binary chart is useless to know when a door was last opened: a door opens
for 10 seconds, which is an invisible spike at any chart scale. This adds a
per-box option, "display the date of the last state change", which shows under
the state of every binary sensor of a "devices" / "devices in room" box the
date at which this state was reached (relative time, like the "Users present"
widget).
`device_feature.last_value_changed` cannot be used for this: it is refreshed on
every state report, even when the device re-publishes the value it already had
(this is what #2871 fixed for motion sensors). The real date of a value change
is therefore read from the state history, where a change is a state whose value
differs from the value of the state right before it.
Server:
- new `device.getLastStateChanges(selectors)`, which resolves each feature's
last real value change from the DuckDB state history using a LAG window
function, over progressively widening time windows so the common case (a door
opened today) is answered by the cheapest, zone-map-pruned query;
- new authenticated route `GET /api/v1/device_feature/last_state_changes`.
Front:
- new "display last change date" checkbox in the box editor of the "devices"
and "devices in room" boxes;
- the date is refreshed live over the websocket, but only when the new value
actually differs from the displayed one;
- new i18n keys in en, fr and de.

📝 Walkthrough
Walkthrough
Adds an API to retrieve actual last state changes for binary sensors. Device boxes can enable this display, track timestamps from history and websocket updates, and show relative times or an empty-state message.
Changes
Binary sensor last-state display
Layer / File(s)
Summary
State-change history lookup server/lib/device/device.getLastStateChanges.js, server/lib/device/index.js, server/test/lib/device/device.getLastStateChanges.test.js
The device layer detects actual value changes with progressive history queries and exposes the result through DeviceManager.
Last-state API exposure server/api/controllers/device.controller.js, server/api/routes.js, server/test/controllers/device/device.controller.test.js, server/test/api/routes.test.js
An authenticated endpoint accepts optional feature selectors and returns their latest state-change timestamps.
Frontend timestamp state flow front/src/components/boxs/device-in-room/DevicesBox.jsx, DeviceCard.jsx, DeviceRow.jsx
The device box fetches and updates timestamps, then passes each feature’s timestamp and display setting to sensor rows.
Editors persist the display setting. Dashboard validation accepts the setting. Binary sensor rows show relative timestamps or a localized empty-state message.
The change adds an opt-in display of binary sensor state-change dates without altering existing behavior when disabled; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

The feature matches the forum request and avoids last_value_changed for the right reason (#2871: that column is last report, not last change). The option is off by default, the WS path correctly ignores republishes, i18n is complete, and CI is green. No new DEVICE_FEATURE_CATEGORIES / TYPES.
Requesting changes before merge, mainly for the DuckDB path on a real history:
Unbounded LAG for never-changed sensors — truncated windows must ignore LAG IS NULL, so a smoke/leak/idle motion feature that never flipped always falls through to a full-partition window function with no LIMIT. That runs on duckDbReadQueue and can stall every other DuckDB read on dashboard load. Same class of issue as the unbounded Top-N that blocked #2896. Prefer value != last_value ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1, then the start of the current run; if none, MIN(created_at) / min=max, not LAG over the whole table.
“No state change recorded” is shown for undefined — loading, keep_history === false (server omits the selector), and writeable type === 'binary' fallbacks (SWITCH.BINARY, …). Hide until the key exists; require read_only.
Fetch overwrites live websocket dates if a real change arrives while the history query is in flight.
Also: the editor copy (“date at which this state was reached”) does not match skipping the first sample — a door that has only ever been open shows “No state change recorded”. BINARY_QUERY in aggregates already counts prev_value IS NULL as a transition.
Not risk:high (optional box flag, authenticated read, no migration). Adding needs:human-review for a try on a large live history, and for the motion-sensor reading (date under “No motion” is last 1→0, not last motion).
- Only display the date under read-only binary sensors, and only once the
server answered: the empty message no longer flashes on every dashboard
load, and never sticks under a writable binary feature or a feature which
keeps no history.
- Merge the fetched dates with the ones already in state instead of replacing
them, and update the map through functional setState on both paths, so a
websocket state change landing while the request is in flight is not
overwritten by the older snapshot.
- Make the checkbox id unique per box, the edit dashboard renders every box
at once.
- Answer the features whose value never changed with a streaming MIN/MAX
aggregate before falling back to the unbounded window function: a sensor
that has never flipped no longer sorts its whole history on the shared
DuckDB read queue at each dashboard load.
- Cover the new route registration in the API routes test.

403fa8c fixes the previous review items that were blocking merge on the read path and the UI: never-flipped features no longer run an unbounded LAG, showLastStateChange waits for an explicit server answer and requires read_only, the history fetch merges with live websocket dates, and the editor checkbox id is unique per box. CI is green. No new DEVICE_FEATURE_CATEGORIES / TYPES.
Still requesting changes — the option cannot be saved.
display_last_state_change is written by both box editors but is not on the dashboard boxes Joi schema (server/models/dashboard.js). Joi 17 rejects unknown keys, so ticking the checkbox and saving the dashboard fails with "display_last_state_change" is not allowed. Neighboring flags (display_axes, display_variation, clock_display_second) are declared there for that reason. This is not risk:high (optional box flag, authenticated DuckDB read, no migration), but it is a functional blocker: the feature cannot be persisted.
Residual, not blocking by itself: never-changed sensors still walk every bounded LAG window (including 365 days) before the new MIN/MAX shortcut. Product meaning of “last change” (first sample skipped; date under “No motion” is last 1→0, not last motion) is unchanged and still wants a try on a large live history.
…ures earlier
The dashboard boxes Joi schema rejects unknown keys, so ticking the new
checkbox made dashboard.update fail for the whole dashboard with
"display_last_state_change is not allowed".
In device.getLastStateChanges, keepFeaturesWhoseValueChanged only ran as
the last step: a sensor that never flipped still paid the five bounded
LAG windows, including one over a year of heartbeats, before the cheap
aggregate could drop it. It now runs as soon as the narrowest window
comes back empty, so the common case still costs a single query.

2103ecf unblocks merge. The option can now be saved (display_last_state_change is on the dashboard boxes Joi schema, with a dashboard.update persist test), and quiet features are dropped after the first empty 1 h window instead of walking every bounded LAG. Previous read-path / UI items stay fixed: no unbounded LAG for never-flipped sensors, showLastStateChange waits for an explicit server answer and requires read_only, the history fetch merges with live websocket dates, and the editor checkbox id is unique per box. CI is green (front, server, Cypress, Docker, codecov patch + project). No new DEVICE_FEATURE_CATEGORIES / TYPES.
Not risk:high (optional box flag, authenticated DuckDB read, no migration).
Leaving needs:human-review for a try on a large live history (the remaining cost for a quiet sensor is one 1 h LAG plus an unbounded MIN/MAX), and for the product meaning of “last change”: the first sample is still skipped on purpose (a door that has only ever been open shows “No state change recorded”), and the date under a motion sensor showing “No motion” is the last 1→0, not last motion (#2871).

Re-reviewed 2103ecf against current master (48bfc6d). Previous merge blockers stay fixed: display_last_state_change is on the boxes Joi schema, quiet features are dropped after the first empty 1 h window, unbounded LAG is skipped for never-flipped sensors, the UI waits for an explicit server answer, websocket dates merge with the history fetch, and the editor checkbox id is unique per box. No new DEVICE_FEATURE_CATEGORIES / TYPES. CI is green. Not risk:high.
Requesting changes — the PR is CONFLICTING with master (mergeable_state: dirty). git merge-tree conflicts in server/test/lib/dashboard/dashboard.update.test.js: this branch replaced the #2913 energy-consumption period_start_day persist test with the new last-state-change test. Rebase onto current master and keep both tests. The model file auto-merges, but the rebase must also keep master's period_start_day Joi key next to this new display_last_state_change key — dropping it would reject energy-consumption box saves.
Human review (needs:human-review, @atrovato) still makes sense: product meaning of “last change” vs first sample, motion-sensor date vs #2871, and a try on a large live history.
master restructured the dashboard boxes Joi schema into a shared boxSchema
and a section-based boxesSchema (#2902), which conflicted with the branch
copy of the inline schema.
Resolution keeps both sides: display_last_state_change is declared on the
new shared boxSchema, next to display_axes / display_variation, and
period_start_day (#2913) stays untouched, so dashboard.update keeps
accepting energy-consumption boxes that store a billing period start day.
Both dashboard.update tests are kept as well. The last-state-change one
now reads through boxes[0].columns[..], since legacy column-based boxes
are normalized to a single section on save.

375ccd6 unblocks git: the branch is MERGEABLE with current master (a25dbe0). Both dashboard.update tests are kept, and display_last_state_change sits on the shared boxSchema next to display_axes / display_variation without dropping period_start_day. Previous read-path / Joi items stay fixed. CI is green (front, server, Cypress, Docker, codecov patch + project). No new DEVICE_FEATURE_CATEGORIES / TYPES. Not risk:high.
Still requesting changes — 375ccd6 only merged master. It does not address Pierre’s 17 Aug field feedback (MQTT window/door sensors, display that “doesn’t look clean”), which he then asked Claude to fix (/claude look at my feedbacks & fix PR conflicts).
MQTT opening sensors — the query skips the first sample and then drops MIN == MAX histories as null. An MQTT door added while closed, with only 0 in DuckDB, will never show a date. That matches “doesn’t seem to work for window/door opening sensors created in the MQTT integration.” After the cheap aggregate, a single-value history should return MIN(created_at) (do not treat LAG IS NULL as a change inside a truncated window).
Display — a second small text-muted line under the badge is the layout Pierre screenshotted, and Horizon pills make it worse (taller right cell, wrapping French copy). Put the relative time as a muted caption under the name; keep the badge on one line.
Leaving needs:human-review (@atrovato): product meaning of “last change” vs first sample, motion-sensor date vs #2871, and a try of the Horizon treatment on a real devices box.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
previous_value IS NOT NULL AND value != previous_value (and keepFeaturesWhoseValueChanged dropping MIN(value) == MAX(value)) never treats the first sample as “this state was reached”.
That is the most likely cause of Pierre’s MQTT opening-sensor report. A window/door created in the MQTT integration is usually event-driven: it is added while closed and may only ever have 0 in history until someone opens it. Zigbee sensors often already have both values from pairing/heartbeats, so they look fine; MQTT doors show “No state change recorded” (or nothing useful).
Do not count LAG IS NULL inside a bounded window — the first row of a truncated range is a continuation, not a change. After the cheap MIN/MAX aggregate, features with a single distinct value should get MIN(created_at) (the date this run started), which is what the editor copy promises. BINARY_QUERY in device.getDeviceFeaturesAggregates already counts prev_value IS NULL as a transition on a full partition.
Please add a test for “only ever closed” that expects the first sample’s date, not null.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Pierre already flagged this layout as not clean, and merging Horizon (#2902) makes it worse: .device-list-table pills are a single row (icon | name | badge), td is vertical-align: middle, and a wrapping small text-muted under the badge stretches the right cell while the name stays one line. French “Aucun changement d’état enregistré” / “il y a 3 heures” will wrap in that narrow column.
Gladys’s existing relative-time patterns do not stack under a badge: User Presence puts the time inside the badge, Last Seen is the value. On a Horizon pill the quiet place for this is a muted caption under the name, with the Opened/Closed badge staying a single line on the right — same structure as scene rows.
Please restyle against a real devices box on Horizon (including a long French relative time) before this ships. “Beautiful by default” is a dashboard contract.
