How to get friendly name of condition in automation?

f4stb00t · January 12, 2023, 12:22pm

Hello,

I would like to send the friendly name of the condition via message. I know the trigger.to_state.name", but it’s not the trigger I want to get the name of when the automation is executed.

Ideas?

An entity has a friendly_name attribute. The value of an entity’s attribute is accessible via the trigger variable (if the entity was part of the automation’s trigger).

Conditions don’t have attributes.

Don’t use conditions. Use a choose and make each condition its own choose block.

You still can’t get the friendly name of a condition because that’s impossible. But you can then send a different message depending on which condition is true.

Perhaps this meets your requirements.

I solved it now like this:

Not so elegant. But it also works Guess I will use the example of 123 taras, as this is more flexible and elegant.
