Automation to notify when above certain kWh state

Configuration
1

Hi,

I’ve researched some older topics but they did not meet the exact thing I’m looking for.

I’ve got a super simple automation that just notifies me when the value of a sensor is above the 7kWh mark.

However, it seems like it’s not working.

alias: PV - Melding wanneer er meer dan 7kWh is opgewekt door de panelen.
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: numeric_state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.pv_productie
    below: 7
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: notify.notify
    metadata: {}
    data:
      title: Teruglevering
      message: Er is op het moment >7kWh opgewekt, zet elektrische apparaten aan!
mode: single

It should send me a notification on my phone once it crosses the 7kWh mark. But it didn’t :frowning:

The current value is 20kWh for today, so it did pass. I am doing something super simplistic but I can’t seem to find my error here. Somebody who can shine a light on my issue?

Bruh, I’m just reading through my post and I see I state it as below 7 rather than above 7… just changed it and will monitor it tomorrow.

Glad you caught that. Was about to tell you about it!

You can set the state to be above 7 right now. Just go to dev tools & click on the entity, then set the state to 8. Don’t worry, it’ll jump back to it’s actual value when your PV next sends a report
