Hi @panhans, thanks a lot 
One more question:
I do have more entities configured:
Now, when entity #01 (red) has already triggered a notification (open window)
Each defined entity can produce a separate notification. So entity1 can trigger a notification and entity2 also. They a unique using the tag in a notification service based on the entity id.
Hi, is it possible to add a condition. e.g. only send when the outdoor temperature is below 15 degrees.
Would be possible. But there is one problem: every time the temperature changes below 15Ā°C a notification will be fired. The only way to save the state if a notification is allready send is a helper like a boolean input. I struggle with this issue in some other automations as well.
Hi, I noticed one edge case in your blueprintā¦
With one exception:
I do send the notification also to my mobile phone.
Now, I am updating the system on my Computerā¦ the notification in the application will be disabled - but the notification on the phone is still active and canāt be removed until I reboot the phone.
For all other notifications which Iāve created in the same way - it is working well - when they will be triggered by any other state-change for an entity.
Only for the update entities it does not seem to work with the companion appā¦ ?
Good stuff. I also would like to have outside temp combined with this temp. Also I have a humidity and temperature sensor in the shower, to determine if the open window has done itās job after showering
As I said it will get annoying because the automation doesnt know if a notification is already on your phone or in home assistant. So with every temperature change e.g. 15Ā°C to 15.5Ā°C a notification will be send again and again. If I debounce the automation or using a helper to save the state if a notification is send or deleted it will blocks other notifications for the other entities defined in the same automation.
The only solution is to define a threshold based template sensor and use that combined with the blueprint.
For example:
template:
- binary_sensor:
- name: "Airing Shower Temperature"
state: >
{{ states.sensor.my_temp_sensor.state | float(16) <= 15 }}
Seems like the notification daemon is shut down before the update sensor changed its state. Maybe it needs another trigger after starting home assistant that checks all states of the entities defined in the automation. I will think about it.
Hello I am getting an error trying to set up the blueprint.

Iām not sure what I could be doing wrong. I tried copying the code from your github page into the blueprints config folder, thinking maybe some indentations had somehow gotten misaligned, but that didnāt help. Any help appreciated. Thanks
Your notify group looks malformed. Try group.persons
That was my first effort at pasting code here, I added the three backquotes at the end after pasting and it auto corrected to that, but in my actual config it is āgroup.personsā and the error persists. It took me 5 tries to get that bit here without it getting auto corrected.
working now, thanks
I keep getting a timeout when trying to import this blueprint.
howdy - tried every different variable but for some reason cannot get this to trigger and the trace timeline gives me
āStopped because of unknown reason ānullā at January 22, 2023 at 3:07:39 PM (runtime: 0.02 seconds)ā
the blueprint is configured below;
What am I missing?
No, problem here with importing. Button works for me as expected. You can try to import the blueprint manually by pasting the github link in the import blueprint dialog.
Is ther some more information when you click on the log message? Just check if you have the is the service notify.notify. just openen the developer tools and have a look in the service tab.
The notify service sends the notification to all devices. There is no need to specify a specific device like your iphone.
Is there a way to get this automation to only trigger if something else happening? Like when I change house state and the sensor is on? Now I get notification ewerytime a sensor get triggered. I can trigger with another automatation or node-red
Also, I am not able to remove the notification from my phone. Android problem I guess. But do you know how to remove?
The behaviour of the notifications is correct. They are persistent till the state of the observed entity switches. The idea is when you open a window you always have a persistent notification. The only way to close it is closing the window. Nevermind check out the new version. Now you can disable it for having swipeable notifications. (last option point)
Be sure to delete the old blueprint. I had a typo in the url. When you dont delete the old one it wont be overwritten.
I dont understand your use case correctly for your first problem. You donāt want to trigger the notification when a entity is in a defined state. You want to trigger it when the entity changes state but not the defined. Is this correct?
My notification do not change if I close the window.
Going to try out the new blueprint.
For the first question. I have a input select for house mode. (Home, Away, Night etc.). I would like it to only trigger a notification if i change the state to āAwayā or something opens if the house is in āAwayā.
I do not need to have a notofication telling me all the time that the window is open.
If it worked that the notification dissapared when I closed the window again it would be okey.
