'dict object' has no attribute 'device_tracker'

Configuration
1

Which error do I make with the configuration, because I receive the following error message:

Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'device_tracker'

How can I fix this?

This is causing your problem.

your trigger is a state trigger. State triggers only have a few attributes.

Template variable Data
trigger.platform Hardcoded: state
trigger.entity_id Entity ID that we observe.
trigger.from_state The previous state object of the entity.
trigger.to_state The new state object that triggered trigger.
trigger.for Timedelta object how long state has been to state, if any. 
      message:  >
        {{  state_attr(trigger.entity_id, 'friendly_name')  }} verläßt das Haus.

should work

EDIT: Fixed @lolouk44 typo

Typo, it’s state_attr without the ‘s’

Credits go to @petro for the initial answer, I can’t accept them for just removing an ‘s’ :smiley:
