This works pretty well! Some suggestions:

  • Add unit_of_measurement: "packets" to the ConfirmedPackets entry. This will make it interpret as a number and a graph.
  • Add last packet time: 
      - name: "TinyGS Last Packet Time"
    value_template: "{{ as_local(as_datetime((value_json.lastPacketTime | int) / 1000)) }}"
    device_class: timestamp

My full config if anyone is interested:

rest:
  - resource: "https://api.tinygs.com/v1/station/[YOUR STATION ID]"
    scan_interval: 300
    sensor:
      - name: "TinyGS Satellite"
        value_template: "{{ value_json.satellite }}"
      - name: "TinyGS Last Packet Time"
        value_template: "{{ as_local(as_datetime((value_json.lastPacketTime | int) / 1000)) }}"
        device_class: timestamp
      - name: "TinyGS ConfirmedPackets"
        value_template: "{{ value_json.confirmedPackets | int }}"
        unit_of_measurement: "packets"
    binary_sensor:
      - name: "TinyGS Status"
        value_template: "{{ value_json.status }}"
