I noticed today that there is an update for one of my custom cards available but this automation did not run.
The sensor sensor.custom_card_tracker has changed from 0 to 1, and the input boolean input_boolean.dnd is off.
There seems to be little else that could go wrong unless I’m missing something obvious.
Any ideas?
Then it would trigger an update alert when it returns to 0 after I update everything. I suppose I could add a condition for that. I’ll give it a go. I think it might be because the state has no unit of measurement and thus is not a number?
The state is a string, and we are only interested in triggering when state moves away from the string “0”. I have not tested it out due to not having any cards to update at the moment.
Was it a custom component that updated and not a card? I always thought it was weird that it separates updates into 2 categories. Also, you could just make the trigger into a value_template but it might trigger less.
I mean the best advice I can give at the moment is to turn on debug in the logs and watch for the events and see if the state change event is occurring.
