You can use my automation as is, you only need to be sure that “notify.push” works in your configuration for pushing a notification.
but why would you want to trigger it each hour in the set interval?
- alias: Afval morgen
id: Afval morgen
trigger:
- platform: time
at: '21:00:00'
- platform: time
at: '16:16:00'
condition:
- >
{{states.sensor.afvalwijzer_tomorrow is not none}}
- >
{{states('sensor.afvalwijzer_tomorrow') != 'Geen'}}
action:
- service: script.intercom_message
data:
message_nl: >
Het is {{now().strftime('%d %B')}}: Morgen wordt
{{states('sensor.afvalwijzer_tomorrow')|title}} opgehaald!
message_en: >
It is {{now().strftime('%d %B')}}: Tomorrow
{{states('sensor.afvalwijzer_tomorrow')|title}} will be picked up!
- service: script.notify_trash_tomorrow
- service: script.persistent_trash_tomorrow
- service: script.trash_outside_tomorrow
the second 16:16 trigger is only there to show you can trigger at more than 1 time.
Please note you dont need to use the ‘and’ in the conditions, they are and’ed by default
lastly, use
message: "Morgen: {{states('sensor.afvalwijzer_tomorrow')}}"
or multi-line:
message: >
Morgen: {{states('sensor.afvalwijzer_tomorrow')}}
instead of
message: 'Morgen: {{ states.sensor.afvalwijzer_tomorrow.state }}'
to prevent errors if the template isnt initialized correctly
Because i want a push notification every hour between 17:00 and 20:00 
haha, sure, why not. cool.
The push notifications need to push me to take out the container 
haha, this was unexpected:
auto-entities sort method not the right one:
sort:
method: state
numeric: true
yep:
using:
sort:
method: attribute
attribute: days_until_collection_date
hope this wont error next December, when the dates aren’t set yet…

Maybee somebody can help me.
I’m new to HomeAssisent and I’m trying to add the garbagecalender. Everyting works as expected until a view dag ago the sorting stoped working. I think the the problem is that one of the componends is missing in the JSON files which comes from an API? If this is the problem, how can I prevent the sorting to stop?

check the post above yours. sorting works as expected.
where did you find these < > stylings? must admit, that’s new to me
For the html tags look at: https://github.com/custom-cards/secondaryinfo-entity-row
For this one I want to maken an function so that it can also show “Vandaag” and “Morgen” insteat of “dag” and “dagen”
For the filter I use:
numeric: true -> because 11 comes after 10 and not between 1 and 2
method: attribute -> I want to sort on an attribute
attribute: days_until_collection_date -> the attribute that I want to use.
(sensor.afvalinfo_*.days_until_collection_date )
sorting-entities
Where do I make an mistake?
I have read the content above and I don’t see it…
great, there’s exactly 1 line with obscure tags, and of course I missed that. nice to know, so thanks for posting!
when you say the sorting ‘stops’, exactly what are you experiencing. Do you get any errors in the inspector or logs? What result is showing in the frontend?
Maybe you have incorrect entities (should show in the inspector as None), and your templates should guard those.
How, please give us some more information so we can help
btw, Vandaag and Morgen are available in my earlier post (s), eg here
Thnx for the quick response. The missing date is fixed and didn’t couse the problem(I have removed the item compleetly while testing).
What I meant with “the sorting stops” is that everyting looks alright but the order of the items is not sorted.
This has worked before and I don’t know why it isn’t working anymore. I don’t get any error messages.
Am I right that the time is based on utc time? So the change is at 1:00 in the morning?
Taking out the numeric sort doen’t have any effect,
Found it, you’re not using the auto-entities card power, but list the entities as regular entities card
- type: entities
entities:
which simply lists the entities in the order you set in the config. It amazes me you dont get a logged error on the
filter:
include:
- entity_id: sensor.afvalinfo_gft
- entity_id: sensor.afvalinfo_afval_papier
- entity_id: sensor.afvalinfo_restafval
- entity_id: sensor.afvalinfo_afval_pbd
sort:
numeric: true
method: attribute
attribute: days_until_collection_date
section, because that isnt supported in an entities card at all.
please have another look at my config posted above (see link) and use that auto-entities card config.
This has never worked in that config, and it was a mere coincidence if they were ordered correctly at 1 moment…
Line 12…
Please read what I wrote. You are listing the entities. That way the auto entities card doesn’t have options to do it’s job.
Fixed! Thnx for the support.
Hi, I had a question.
I want to look at the value of a attribute. But how I do that?
When I look at the state, I get the right result.
{{ states.sensor|selectattr('state','eq','03-02-2021')|map(attribute='name')|join(', ') }}
But I want to look at the attribute value of “days_until_collection_date”. But I get now results.
{{ states.sensor|selectattr('state.days_until_collection_date)','eq','11')|map(attribute='name')|join(', ') }}
How can you look at the value of the attribute of “days_until_collection_date” ??
Hi, maybe you can try something like:
{{ states.sensor.afvalinfo_gft.attributes["days_until_collection_date"] }}
But it seems you’re using a different component…
