Hello!
I’m trying to setup an automation for my dryer with a vibration sensor but something appears to be wrong. I have my automation setup like this:
- alias: Laundry - Dryer stop (Vibration)
id: dryer_stop_vibration
trigger:
- platform: template
value_template: "(((as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.sensor.dryer_vibration_sensor_action.last_changed)) / 60) | round(0)) > 3"
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_boolean.dryer_on
state: 'on'
action:
- service: notify.me
data:
message: 'The dryer has stopped at {{now().strftime("%I:%M %p")}}'
- entity_id: input_boolean.dryer_on
service: input_boolean.turn_off
It’s looking to see if the vibration sensor was updated in the last 3 minutes and if there’s been no update to send an alert. But I never get alerted and the boolean never gets turned off. I’ve pasted the value_template into the template editor demo and that seems to be giving the correct results (currently the value is 15). The boolean is currently on so I’m not sure where I messed up. Any ideas?
