    platform: state
    entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d0001a98401

    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
  condition:
    condition: state

  action:
  - service: notify.ios_iosiphone
    data:
      message: "The {{ trigger.to_state.name }} was changed to {{ trigger.to_state.state }}"

PS. I have used Disarmed for Testing…

I haven’t used templates yet so don’t have a full grasp on how they are done but it looks like you are trying to use a template with your notification but haven’t called the ‘template’ service.

Thanks the error I am getting is jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: ‘trigger’ is undefined

something simple you could try to test would be to comment out (#) the notify section and use something basic as the action, like turn on a light. see if that works. I personally cant see the issue with your trigger which is making me think the error is referring to the ‘trigger’ text in your notification message… but I am a Hass noob so maybe I’m totally wrong!

You need to use data_template and not data for the last service call…
