Bit of a silly one, but for anyone living in Melbourne and familiar with Pancake Parlour’s “Winter Parlour” (https://www.pancakeparlour.com.au/winter-parlour) where you pay for certain pancakes based on how cold it is, this is for you.

This is just a basic notification to let you know when the price changes ($15, $10 or $5) as per their conditions. They utilise the Melbourne Airport BOM station (which is great, because it’s one of the colder metro areas). You need just the two following, a single sensor and an automation:

If you don’t already monitor Melbourne Airport weather conditions, add this to your sensor config:

- platform: bom
  station: IDV60901.94866
  name: Melbourne AP
  monitored_conditions:
    - air_temp

And the following automation:

- alias: "Cheap Pancakes"
  initial_state: "on"
  trigger:
    - platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.bom_melbourne_ap_air_temp_c
      below: "10.0"
      above: "5.1"
    - platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.bom_melbourne_ap_air_temp_c
      below: "5.0"
      above: "0.0"
  action:
    - service: notify.ios_hal9000beta
      data:
        title: 'Cheap Pancakes!'
        message: > 
         {% if states('sensor.bom_melbourne_ap_air_temp_c') | float < 5 %}
         Temperature is {{states.sensor.bom_melbourne_ap_air_temp_c.state}}ºC. Pancakes are $5!
         {% elif states('sensor.bom_melbourne_ap_air_temp_c') | float < 10 %}
         Temperature is {{states.sensor.bom_melbourne_ap_air_temp_c.state}}ºC. Pancakes are $10!
         {% endif %}

I’ve only included the $10 and $5 specials, since $15 isn’t far off from their normal price!

That is all, enjoy the deliciousness!
