Actionable notification garage door

Configuration

Hi all,

I am so sorry, I know there are a lot of examples but, after reading and reading, I can’t get it working. I’m trying to create an automation to close the garage door, if it’s open for 5 mins. It’s my code:

alias: Door open
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: device
    device_id: 3ac70e1d66eec172cab97d178449cf36
    domain: cover
    entity_id: cover.garage_door
    type: opened
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 5
      seconds: 0
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.notify
    data:
      message: The garage door is opened!
      data:
        actions:
          - service: cover.close_cover
            title: Close
            data: {}
            target:
              entity_id: cover.garage_door
      title: Garage door
mode: single

I get the notification, and the button to close, but, nothing happens. Can anybody please help me?

Thanks,

You have to define the actions as you did but then react on them separately. Not within the definition.

So either put another automation with the trigger, that someone hits the button or wait without your automation until someone hits the button. I don’t like the second way, because you don’t know when it will happen and what happens until then with your system.

Hello, thanks for your answer and the link. I tried to follow it, but I don’t know what I am doing wrong. I don’t know how to trigger the action when I press the button.

As written in the linked docs.

Change the action according to the doc


service: notify.mobile_app_<your_device_id_here>
data:
  message: "Something happened at home!"
  data:
    actions:
      - action: "ALARM" # The key you are sending for the event
        title: "Sound Alarm" # The button title

Create an automation with this trigger


    - platform: event
      event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
      event_data:
        action: "ALARM"

And do there the close_cover.

Hello @i5Js
Would you be so gracious as to post your working code for this? I have been working on this and I cant seem to get it working—much appreciation in advance.
