Automation for a beginner

Yes, I explained how to avoid that in my first reply. Set the duration of for: to a suitable value.

Yes I got that. It´s at least that the wind needs to have X speed for X time. Than the automation will turn on.

My issue is that lets say the automation was perfomed, the covers are up, the notification will be send everytime the speed/time trigger is achieved.

I’m interested if its possible to avoid that :slight_smile:

If the covers are up - no notification
If the covers are down - automation + notification

maybe also to check if the covers are down 25%, 50% 43%, etc

You just described the condition when there should be no notification. Now put it into the automation’s condition.

Sometimes…you´re right and thanks for that. As the Actions are

Cover 1,2 and 3 up and sending the notifications

Am I right that I need to split it? Give the notification a separate Automation?
