Hi,
I have a few automations that give me an actionable push message/notification to an Apple device. The idea is that when motion sensors don’t detect any activity in a room, but the lights are still on (or the TV is still on) that it gives an actionable notification. (action can be “Leave on” or “switch off” in a nutshell.
This all works fine except for one point.
Since I don’t want the automations to run forever I have a time-out and I want to send another message that the time-out has reached and that it didn’t do anything.
Technically and functionally I got that working, but I get the following error messages. I know why it fails, but I can’t figure out a way to prevent these error messages to appear.
