How to use groups in automation for notification

Configuration
1

Hello,

I would like to setup some notification based on group changes for my windows sensors. I guess this is a common use case?

I defined a group with all window contact sensor which changes to “on” the entire group changes to “on”. And I can create an automation for that.

But here are the challenges:

  • I would like to receive a notification on every group change, for example if a second window is opened as well, that time the group is already set to “on” because of the first window.
  • Maybe newbie questions, but how do I iterate on the group members and send individual notifications for all open/“on” windows?

Thx.
