Help getting state variables in Pushbullet notiification

Configuration
1

I have an automation that is working correctly but I can’t seem to figure out the correct syntax to get the states of the sensors included in the notification message.

- alias: 'Door Minder'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: device_tracker.rpitera_rpitera
    from: 'home'
    to: 'not_home'
  condition:
    condition: or
    conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door
        state: 'on'
      - condition: state
        entity_id: binary_sensor.side_door
        state: 'on'
  action:
    service: notify.pushbullet
    data:
      message: 'Robert, you left one of the entry doors open. Front Door is {{ states.binary_sensor.front_door }}.  Side Door is {{ states.binary_sensor.side_door }}.  '

The resulting notification looks like this:

Home Assistant
Robert, you left one of the entry doors open. Front Door is <state binary_sensor.front_door=on; battery_level=100.0, friendly_name=Front Door, sensor_class=opening @ 2016-10-26T11:47:20.130007-04:00>.  Side Door is <state binary_sensor.side_door=off; battery_level=100.0, friendly_name=Side Door, sensor_class=opening @ 2016-10-25T19:02:30.464786-04:00>.

when really all I want is:

Home Assistant
Robert, you left one of the entry doors open. Front Door is on. Side Door is off.

Or even better:

Home Assistant
Robert, you left one of the entry doors open. Front Door is on.

But I can’t seem to get it to work

I really should use the dev templates page to test before posting here… found the answer myself quickly.

Instead of using:
{{ states.binary_sensor.front_door }}

I should have been using
{{ states.binary_sensor.front_door.state }}
