hey guys,
i´m trying to make an automation that´s called by an actionable notification to open or close a cover of a window that is open. however i can´t get it working. maybe someone has an idea or even a better way to do it.
the notification:
action: notify.mobile_app_iphone_david
data:
message: Fenster erkannt! Was möchtest du tun?
data:
actions:
- action: open
title: open
- action: close
title: close
since i have 9 windows i think using a variable like this makes it more easy:
covers:
window_hallway_contact: cover.hallway
window_bedroom_1_contact: cover.bedroom_1
window_bedroom_2_contact: cover.bedroom_2
window_office_1_contact: cover.office_1
window_office_2_contact: cover.office_2
window_livingroom_1_contact: cover.livingroom_1
window_livingroom_2_contact: cover.livingroom_2
window_livingroom_3_contact: cover.livingroom_3
door_balcony_contact: cover.balcony
this is the automation i have right now, that´s not working:
alias: "Fensterstatus Rolladensteuerung"
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
action:
- variables:
action: "{{ trigger.event.data.action }}"
covers:
window_hallway_contact: cover.hallway
window_bedroom_1_contact: cover.bedroom_1
window_bedroom_2_contact: cover.bedroom_2
window_office_1_contact: cover.office_1
window_office_2_contact: cover.office_2
window_livingroom_1_contact: cover.livingroom_1
window_livingroom_2_contact: cover.livingroom_2
window_livingroom_3_contact: cover.livingroom_3
door_balcony_contact: cover.balcony
- repeat:
for_each: "{{ covers.keys() | select('is_state', 'on') | list }}"
sequence:
- service: "cover.{{ 'open_cover' if action == 'open' else 'close_cover' }}"
target:
entity_id: "{{ covers[repeat.item] }}"
mode: parallel
mase:
covers.keys()
The keys are not entity IDs… so | select('is_state', 'on') doesn’t know what to do with them.
Also, be aware that your trigger is not very specific, so this automation will run every time you activate any notification action. That is one of the reasons why the examples in the companion app docs use Wait for Trigger actions instead of separate automations for actionable notifications.

that´s something chatgpt gave me since i couldn´t figure it out
right now i think it would be easier to make 2 scripts: one that would open the cover and one that would close it. and call the scripts by the action “open” or “close”. however i also can´t get one of the scripts working

came up with this automation, guess it´s not the prettiest way to do it, but it works.

Your original script will work if you change the keys to the actual entity IDs… so instead of window_hallway_contact: it would be binary_sensor.window_hallway_contact:
Alternatively, you could append the the binary_sensor. string to each key in the for_each template, but that would require a loop and the use of a namespace.
In either case and for long-term stability, I would suggest you change the action titles in the calling automation to something more unique like “open_alles_fenster_rolladen”. Make sure to update the trigger(s) and the service template in the repeat to match whatever you change it to.
