Automation to play a sound when door sensor is triggered

Configuration
11

Thanks a lot jbardi! I added hass as a sudoer. Getting closer… :slight_smile:

I can now successfully call the shell command service from the Home Assistant user interface. It’s still not triggering when the door opens though. Here’s my code:

shell_command:
 play_sound: sudo /usr/bin/omxplayer /usr/share/scratch/Media/Sounds/Instruments/Trumpet2.wav

automation:
  alias: 'Play Audio File'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.aeotec_dsb29_doorwindow_sensor_2nd_edition_sensor_3
    state: on
  action:
    service: shell_command.play_sound

I’ve double-checked the entity ID. For example, here’s my customize code in the same configuration file:

  customize:
    # Only the 'entity_id' is required.  All other options are optional.
    binary_sensor.aeotec_dsb29_doorwindow_sensor_2nd_edition_sensor_3:
      friendly_name: Front Door
