State and attributes

Semantic session lifecycle based on the live Session Status. The pre state usually occurs 60–15 minutes before a session begins. The sensor goes live when the session officially starts, for races, this means lights out, not the beginning of the formation lap.

State (enum)

  • One of: pre, live, suspended, break, finished, finalised, ended.

Example

live

Typical transitions pre → live → suspended ↔ live → finished → finalised → ended After finalised or ended, logic resets and next session begins at pre.
