Hello,
I want to sent a message to a Slack channel if one switch is turned on.
This ist my config
This is the notify config block:
- name: slack-space
platform: slack
api_key: my key
default_channel: 'space'
And this is the automation block:
automation:
- alias: 'desk'
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: switch.steckdoseb
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
action:
service: notify.slack-space
data:
message: 'random message'
What I’m doing wrong?
Under Dev Tools -> states does the Automation show it as being last triggered when you moved the switch from off to on?
Also, if you go to terminal/command line on your HASS box; what happens if you run
hass --script check_config
Does everything check out?

It says “command not found”
Are you running in a Linux Virtual Environment or the AIO installer? If so you will need to become the homeassistant user first:
sudo su -s /bin/bash homeassistant
hass --script check_config

I’m running this on an Raspberry pi with the Hass Image.
Still “command not found”

use homeassistant instead of hass or use the dev-tools in the front end
as to your error can you use - you probably need to use _ also do you need a # in the def channel? (’#space’)

I resolved the problem. The notifyer was wrong configured.
