How to say in message which windows are open?

[Argo]

Hello! I am a little bit struggling with script which would check if any window is open and if it is - send me a message with friendly name of the entity (or names if there are several open windows)

So, here is the basic part of the script:

'1536739215145':
  alias: Check if windows are open while leaving
  sequence:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.door_window_sensor_158d0002bfc936
    state: 'off'

And now I need to check my group.all_windows and find out which ones are open

May I get help on that?

Have a look at the “Useful Templates, Template to get a list of entities” here:

PSA: Turn on/off all lights in Home Assistant 0.104+ (group.all_* changes)

Seeing that group.all_* was removed from states, here are some useful canned items that will get you the same result as before. Using Services to perform an action on all entities Using all inside the entity_id field will allow you to use turn everything on or off inside a domain. You just need to pair it with the correct command. This should work for pretty much every service that has entity_id. Replaces # Do not use, this is out of date. - service: homeassistant.turn_on entity_id: grou…

Cool, I got it working with all devices, but I only need 5 which are in group. Here is what I tried and did not succeed:

{% set domain = 'group.all_real_lights' %}
{% set entities = states[domain] | map(attribute='entity_id') | list %}
{{entities}}

I am just getting error in template editor

And even with list of needed entities I don’t really know how to get states of them and include in message only opened ones

[tom_l]

Try this in the template editor:

{{ states|selectattr('entity_id', 'in', state_attr('group.all_windows ', 'entity_id'))|selectattr('state', 'equalto', 'on')|map(attribute='entity_id')|join(', ')}}

It should list all windows in the group all_windows that are open.

Ok, that worked, thanks. And is there a way to get friendly names of that entities, not entity_id?

[tom_l]

Yep:

{{ states|selectattr('entity_id', 'in', state_attr('group.all_windows ', 'entity_id'))|selectattr('state', 'equalto', 'on')|map(attribute='name')|join(', ')}}

[Argo]

Oh, that looks so obvious now. Thank you!

{{ states|selectattr('entity_id', 'in', state_attr('group.all_windows ', 'entity_id'))|selectattr('state', 'equalto', 'on')|map(attribute='name')|join(', ')}}

I have a light group named “group.allhouse” and a switch group named group.allhouse_switch. I have made an automation for HA to warn me if any switch or light is open. I have tried your code with changes but it gives error. Where am I wrong ?

service: notify.telegrambot
data:
  title: Open Lights
  message: Bugün {{ states|selectattr('entity_id', 'in', state_attr('group.allhouse ', 'entity_id'))|selectattr('state', 'equalto', 'on')|map(attribute='name')|join(', ')}}

[tom_l]

That is a two year old post and no longer the best way to do this now that we have expand().

See:

Count total lights on for a light group

Filters are applied in order left to right. You need to select all the entities that are on before mapping the entity id. {{expand(state_attr('light.all_lights', 'entity_id'))| selectattr('state','eq','on')|map(attribute='entity_id')|list|count}}

Also it helps if you show the error you received.
