Coronavirus Notification Automation Question

Configuration
1

Hi

What have I done wrong that is not letting me get a notification when the UK Confirmed Cases increase to my mobile ?

Thanks

Martyn

- id: Coronavirus Update UK
  alias: Coronavirus Confirmed Cases Increase in UK
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    to: 'triggered'
    entity_id: sensor.uk_coronavirus_confirmed
  - service: notify.mobile_app_martyn
    data_template:
      title: Coronavirus has increase in UK
      message: Total Number of confirmed cases in UK is now {{ states.sensor.uk_coronavirus_confirmed.state
        }} at {{now().strftime('%H:%M %d-%m-%Y')}}.

Try the following:

- id: Coronavirus Update UK
  alias: Coronavirus Confirmed Cases Increase in UK
  trigger:
  - platform: numeric_state
    above: 0
    entity_id: sensor.uk_coronavirus_confirmed
  - service: notify.mobile_app_martyn
    data_template:
      title: Coronavirus has increase in UK
      message: Total Number of confirmed cases in UK is now {{ states('sensor.uk_coronavirus_confirmed') }} at {{now().strftime('%H:%M %d-%m-%Y')}}.

Thank you very much. That is working great now.

This is weird. My integration doesn’t have the word coronavirus in it. It just is sensor.uk_confirmed etc.

I set this up and it’s no longer working. It triggered once or twice and ever since number are increasing but it’s not triggering
