Automation runs even when it's running......how to fix

1

I have an automation that turns on my AC… here it is.

- alias: 09 - AC On
  id: AC On
  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: sensor.living_room_temp_sensor_temperature
    above: "71.0"
  condition:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: climate.john_s_device
      state: "off"
    - condition: state
      entity_id: group.all_doors
      state: "off"
    - condition: state
      entity_id: group.all_windows
      state: "off"
    - condition: state
      entity_id: person.john
      state: "home"

  action:
    - service: climate.turn_on
      entity_id: climate.john_s_device
    - service: climate.set_fan_mode
      target:
        entity_id: climate.john_s_device
      data:
        fan_mode: "strong"

    - choose:
        - conditions:
            - condition: template
              value_template: "{{ state_attr('sun.sun', 'elevation') > 10 }}"
          sequence:
            - service: notify.mobile_app_sm_f926u1
              data:
                message: "TTS"
                title: "It's hot in the house, so I'm turning the AC on."
                data:
                  channel: alarm_stream_max
                  ttl: 0
                  priority: high

It works the problem is while the AC is running… it’ll make the announcement again. I know HA is updating so it reads what I told it to and run but how do I make a ‘check’ that if it’s running don’t run?

*** Update… I’ve added a check to see if it’s already running… I’m hoping it’s really just that simple…see 1st condition…

Most likely the temperature dropped below 71 and then went above 71 again.

Perhaps you should create a generic thermostat from the sensor and the AC?
That way you can have more control of the AC

Maybe add a wait time between runs, or put a timer on how long it stays 71 ?

That would work… I’ll have to look for some examples of that! Not sure about timers…

Thank you!!!
