I want to create a notification with the sensor name and temperature value if the temperature is out of range in any one of the temperature sensors.
I found one example but it works with one fixed numeric state only i.e. above a specific temperature not below it.
I am trying to use the device id as a trigger instead.
Don’t, you are only making things difficult for yourself in future. See: Why and how to avoid device_ids in automations and scripts
You can use above and below to define a range in the numeric state trigger. Heck you can even use input numbers if you want to easily change the range. See: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/automation/trigger/#numeric-state-trigger
currently, tried this code how should I modify it to use above and below in a single trigger?

Look at the examples in the numeric state trigger link I posted above.
this is error it reported
Message malformed: A value can never be above 24.0 and below 17.0 at the same time. You probably want two different triggers.
copied the example

I want it to trigger, if any one of the sensors is out of range from 17-24C and it should mention the sensor name in the notification.
The answer is in the error message.
The same trigger can not be above and below at the same time. Use one for above and one for below.
trigger:
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.pump_room1_f7e5_temperature
value_template: "{{ state.attributes.value - 5 }}"
above: 24
for:
hours: 0
minutes: 0
seconds: 59
- platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.pump_room1_f7e5_temperature
value_template: "{{ state.attributes.value - 5 }}"
below: 17
for:
hours: 0
minutes: 0
seconds: 59
went with it, but the issue is message is the same even if it is above or below

Here’s the package I use across all my temperature sensor. Just do a search and replace, or use shell scripts.
It allows setting the limits in input numbers and enabling / disabling the high and low alarm limits and has a filter on temperature so an errant reading doesn’t cause alerts to go off.
