Entity ID in Notify Message

Configuration
1

I would like to setup a single automation that will tell me which of my doors is open in the body of the notification message. Is there any way to do this?

For Instance if my garage door is open more than 10 minutes I want to be able to get a notification that says

The (garage door) is open. Or The (Front Door) is open. Using the same automation under triggers for all of the doors I have in my house…

Yes you can do that.

It’s best to give it a try yourself and we can help when you get stuck if you post what you have tried.

I recommend you go away from device triggers.

using state triggers is more compact and they are easier to maintain if the devices themselves ever need replaced.

and then you can add id’s to the triggers and the actions become more compact.

the only downside (which really isn’t) is that you need to use templates in the actions.

so…

    - if:
        - condition:
          id: lock
      then:
         - service: notify.notify
          data:
            message: Front Door is Unlocked
      else:
        - service: notify.notify
          data:
            message: {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name}} is Open
  mode: single

the only thing I’m not sure about is what the state of locks are since I don’t have any. I assume it’s locked/unlocked but if not you’ll have to fix that part.
