Combining automatisations

Configuration
1

I’m a newbie on Home Assistant and I could/would like some help with my automations.
I have a minibieb (Little free libary) that is equiped with a open/close sensor (433 mhz, recieved by a Sonoff RF-bridge running Tasmota). Currently I’ve got two automations, one for when it’s opened and one for when it’s closed.

alias: Melding - Mini bieb (openen)
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.mini_bieb
    to: 'on'
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.telegram
    data:
      message: Test
      data:
        photo:
          - url: 'http://10.25.10.90/Streaming/channels/1/picture'
            authentication: digest
            username:
            password:
            caption: De mini bieb wordt geopend
mode: single

This automation sends a picture through Telegram informing us the libary is being opened.

My second automation is:

alias: Melding - Mini bieb (sluiten)
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.mini_bieb
    to: 'off'
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.telegram
    data:
      message: De mini bieb wordt gesloten
mode: single

This is informing us that the libary is being closed.

Instead of two automations I would like to have one automation, accomplishing the same.

Zoiets als dit?

- alias: Melding - Mini bieb (openen/sluiten)
  mode: single
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: binary_sensor.mini_bieb

  action:
    - service: notify.telegram
      data:
        message: Test
        data:
          photo:
            - url: 'http://10.25.10.90/Streaming/channels/1/picture'
              authentication: digest
              username:
              password:
              caption: >-
                {% if trigger.to_state.state == 'on' %}
                  De mini bieb wordt geopend
                {% else %}
                  De mini bieb wordt gesloten
                {% endif %}

Via de UI was ik op dit gekomen en dat werkt ook, die van jou is wel wat compacter./
Through the UI I created this and it seems to work, yours is a bit more compact.

alias: Melding - Minibieb
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.mini_bieb
condition: []
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: binary_sensor.mini_bieb
            state: 'on'
        sequence:
          - service: notify.telegram
            data:
              message: Test
              data:
                photo:
                  - url: 'http://10.25.10.90/Streaming/channels/1/picture'
                    authentication: digest
                    username: 
                    password: 
                    caption: De mini bieb wordt geopend
      - conditions:
          - condition: state
            entity_id: binary_sensor.mini_bieb
            state: 'off'
        sequence:
          - service: notify.telegram
            data:
              message: De mini bieb wordt gesloten
    default: []
mode: single

Ik heb jouw code geprobeerd maar krijg een melding:/
I’ve tried your code but got an error:

Message malformed: expected dictionary

Wel jammer dat je vrij weinig gegevens krijgt omtrent waar het fout gaat./
It’s kind of sad that you don’t get that much info about where the error fails.

Guys, please keep it in English.

The automation from @poudenes is not going to do what you want as it will send a picture no matter if it is open or closed and as I understand you only want a picture when it gets opened.

The automation you posted can be made a little more compact by using shorthand conditions and removing the empty condition and default action, otherwise you can’t make it more compact.

nice to see other way of automation. Didn’t know you can do 2 conditions in a choose without a default
