So I’m sure this is not big deal to many of you but I have been fighting with this to get it just right for a while. Only about 2 weeks into working with HA.

But I was able to get it to when the door operator changes while the door is unlocked, say Welcome Home and only pull in their first name. And if my wife unlocks the door, since she used a nickname it will sat her actual name.

I’m sure there is a better way to write this out, but like I said, I’m new and it works.
