I have an automation that enables guest mode at the house when guests are visiting. Basically, I have an input_boolean that when toggled triggers a device_tracker.see
on a person.guest
. What often happens is I often forget to toggle that back when guests leave. To fix this i was playing around with Actionable Notifications to send me a notification every 24hrs to see if the guests are still here. the flow looks like this
This is working ok, but… last time a guest was visiting, I did some updates to home assistant and the automation breaks because of a restart. Is there a way to make it survive a restart?
My thought was to add another trigger to check if home assistant had restarted and the timer was still running (the timer is set to restore
), to fire another actionable notification. if that works, what happens to the old notification that was fired? i am not sure if that is the best way to handle this?
