So, I have several alerts. The common ones, door left open, temp above a threshold, etc. I get notifications on my iphone, and they repeat until the alert is clear. I can acknowledge them to stop getting the alerts.
That all works well. I’m finally getting around to TTS, and thought it would be nice to get the same Alert over TTS.
I believe I’ll have to create a seperate automation/scripts for that. But not sure how to get it to do exactly as I would like.
For example here is my garage door alert
garage_door:
name: Garage is open
done_message: Garage is closed
entity_id: cover.garage_door_opener
state: 'open'
repeat:
- 30
- 60
can_acknowledge: True
skip_first: True
notifiers:
- ios_mes_iphone
- pushbullet_notifications
I would like to get a TTS at 30 minutes, then one at 60, repeating until either it was closed or until I acknowledged it.
Another example
garage_fridge_temp:
name: Garage Fridge temp above 40 degreees
done_message: Garage Fridge temp is now less than 40 degrees
entity_id: binary_sensor.garage_fridge_warm
state: 'on'
repeat:
- 15
- 30
- 60
can_acknowledge: True
skip_first: True
notifiers:
- ios_mes_iphone
- pushbullet_notifications
Can a TTS device be a notifier? I feel confident that I could do a single alert right now, or possibly a repeating alert, but what about acknowledging that alert, and then having the TTS stop alerting me.
Hope this is makes sense.
