💬 Entity State Notification

[littlemaui (Shawn Haywood)]

I really appreciate the work done here! Thanks. I’m looking for something similar - where HA will notify me when windows/doors are open at a certian time. Maybe I only need to change this area?

    for_time_m:
      name: For Time
      description: Duration the sensor must be in state
      default: 0
      selector:
        number:
          min: 0
          max: 59
          step: 1
          mode: slider
          unit_of_measurement: min

While not a blueprint, if anyone is attempting to do what I mentioned, please see:

Notify when Window or Door Open at 10pm

Hello, I’m trying to use the following automation to send a notification when any window/door is left open at 10pm. When I run the automation, I don’t recieve a notification. I think the way it’s written, all windows/doors must be open. How do I correct? alias: Notify Door or Windows Open 10pm description: "" trigger: - platform: time at: "22:00:00" condition: - condition: state entity_id: - binary_sensor.den_window - binary_sensor.dining_room - binary_sensor.fam…

Hi, yes I will revise this blueprint and add a custom condition. I actually wanted to have implemented this much earlier. Shame on me.

Hello everyone, is there a possibility to get a message like “The Window X ist open since 10 Min” and in every reminder message “The Window X is open since 20 Min” and so forth. I also want to stop the notifications after 60 mins even if the window is still open.

[panhans]

Try this:

The window {{ entity_name }} is open since {{ ((now() - [sensor] | expand | map(attribute='last_changed') | first).total_seconds() / 60) | int }} Min.

[seblor (Sebastian)]

That works perfectly!
For the first notification. It seems, that for the periodic notification the values are not re-evaluated. So, I always get “The window is open for 10 minutes” and not “The window is open for 10 Minutes” and with the next “… open for 20 Minutes” etc.

[seblor (Sebastian)]

@panhans It looks like, that the repeated messages are not set at all. The timestamp on the notification on my android phone does not change. When I swipe it away it does not reappear after 10 mins.

[seblor (Sebastian)]

I have set up a new automation with this blueprint, added just one windows sensor and nothing else. Set “for time” and “periodical notification”
I received the first notification, but not the periodic one.

I used blueprint version 2.2.1 and latest HA.

Anyone else having the same issues?

[panhans]

Hey, I will check this after my holidays. Did you checked the logs or the automation trace if an error occurs?

[seblor (Sebastian)]

I used another blueprint at it was able to send out repeated information. So in general it works.

[seblor (Sebastian)]

@panhans any news here? I like your blueprint, and don’t want to switch to another solution. Just the repeated messages is missing.

[panhans]

@panhans

The window {{ entity_name }} is open since {{ ((now() - [sensor] | expand | map(attribute='last_changed') | first).total_seconds() / 60) | int }} Min.

For me it works. The time changes, too. Please, check your logs or the automation trace if there is an error.

Hi,

this is my YAML:

alias: Fenster offen Zeitraum
description: ""
use_blueprint:
  path: panhans/entity_state_persistent_notification.yaml
  input:
    sensor_entity:
      - binary_sensor.burofenster
      - binary_sensor.schlafzimmerfenster
      - binary_sensor.badezimmerfenster
      - binary_sensor.terrassentur
      - binary_sensor.esszimmerfenster_links
      - binary_sensor.esszimmerfenster_rechts
      - binary_sensor.gastezimmerfenster
      - binary_sensor.hauswirtschaftsraumfenster
      - binary_sensor.gastebadfenster
      - binary_sensor.barfenster
    notify_device: 6152c3d6a15cd34151a87fd05c860dd2
    message: >-
      {{ states[trigger.entity_id].attributes.friendly_name }} ist seit {{
      ((now() - [sensor] | expand | map(attribute='last_changed') |
      first).total_seconds() / 60) | int }} Minuten offen.
    for_time_m: 1
    period: 1
    stop_button_text: Erinnerung beenden
    persistent_notification: true

The first notification works and after that no more notifications are sent. I saw an error in the trace:

What is wrong here?

Cheers

@viruz

{{ states[trigger.entity_id].attributes.friendly_name }} ist seit {{
      ((now() - [sensor] | expand | map(attribute='last_changed') |
      first).total_seconds() / 60) | int }}   Minuten offen.

Try change it like this:

{{ entity_name }} ist seit {{ ((now() - [sensor] | expand | map(attribute='last_changed') | first).total_seconds() / 60) | int }} Minuten offen.

[viruz]

Oh yes, that’s it. Many thanks @panhans!

Is it possible to define a period in which you want to be notified? It would also be cool if you could make the period dependent on the outside temperature.

[Korte (Körte)]

The stop notify function not working for me on iPhone…it is keep notifying me…

[Korte (Körte)]

Or based on the ext and int temp…

[Bastian007]

Is there still the plan to add custom actions and conditions?

[panhans]

@viruz
@Korte
@Bastian007

Just updated the blueprint. Now custom conditions and custom actions are supported. Feel free to test and give some feedback.

[Korte (Körte)]

Hi, Thank you for the update.
But when i create a new automation, i receive error 500 when try to save it.
