Help with automatisation needed

Configuration
1

Hi there :slight_smile:

I have some issues with an automatisation here…
The automatisation is based on the “waste scheduler” integration - which does provide information when waste will be collected.

There is a sensor, which does count the days untill the next collection. So far, so good…
The Automatisation should send a notification to the smartphne app, whenever one of the sensors is switching from 2 (days) to 1 (days) - so the notification will let us know, that tomorrow our paper waste will be collected or whatever collection it might be.

To prevent, that we’re receiving the notification at midnight, when the sensor is switching from 2 to 1 I thought, it might be ok to configure the automatisation in a way, that the state 1 must be set for 18 hrs.
That should send the notification in the evening at 18:00 … and it did work… more or less.

I think, the main issue is - when the sensor is switching to 1 - the counter for the 18 hrs will start - but if HomeAssistant will be rebooted in that time - and before the notification was sent, then the rule will become invalid.
Therefore, after reboot, the 18hrs of the state change isn’t true anymore and I don’t get any notification.

Do you have an Idea, how I can solve this problem?

Trigger on the hour going to 18, and include three or conditions for each sensor being 1.
