HI,

Trying this script with data_template to show up the switches friendly name, without succes…

What do i need to change here please:

script:
  arrive_home:
    alias: Arrive Home
    sequence:            
      - service: switch.turn_on
        entity_id: switch.sw_tester_cl
      - service: notify.ios_telefoonmhb
        data_template:
          message: "Je bent thuis, het script werkt en {{"switch.sw_tester_cl.attributes.friendly_name" }} staat aan."

btw, the script runs when i get home :wink: turns on the switch, and tells me so, but doesn’t show the bit after ‘werkt’.

unhide it from the frontend?

Try {{ states.switch.sw_tester_cl.attributes.friendly_name }}

please have a look at another:

trying to have the triggered time show up in the message title:

Templates are rendered using the Jinja2 template engine with some Home Assistant specific extensions.

using this code:

data_template:
        title: "Activity selection: {{states.input_select.activity.state}} at {{states.input_select.activity.last_changed|timestamp_custom("%D %I:%M %P") }}"

no matter if i add the timestamp bit or not, or change the order or %'s in the timestamp, the displayed time doesn’t change…?

Jinja2 template documentation
Home Assistant template extensions
data_template:
title: “Activity selection: Opstaan at 2018-01-15 06:33:12.396862+00:00”

ive made it this far:

Templates are rendered using the Jinja2 template engine with some Home Assistant specific extensions.

Jinja2 template documentation
Home Assistant template extensions
data_template:
title: “Selected Mode: Normal”
message: “09:37: Normal operation, going concern.”

with this code:

  • service: notify.ios_telefoonmhb
    data_template:
    title: “Selected Mode: {{states.input_select.ha_mode.state}}”
    message: “{{ as_timestamp(states.input_select.activity.last_updated) | timestamp_custom(”%H:%M") }}: Normal operation, going concern."

Inspector showing a nice result!
Still, the error-log gives me this:

while scanning for the next token
found character '%' that cannot start any token
  in "/config/scripts/scripts_mode_selection.yaml", line 33, column 98

seems the " " are placed incorrectly?

found the solution:

data_template:
        title: "Selected Mode: {{states.input_select.ha_mode.state}} at {{ as_timestamp(states.input_select.activity.last_updated) | timestamp_custom ('%H:%M') }}"
        message: "{{ as_timestamp(states.input_select.activity.last_updated) | timestamp_custom ('%H:%M') }}: Normal operation, going concern."

single quotes…
