How to use the increase of a todo list (shopping) as a condition?

Configuration
,
1

I would like to use the increase of the shopping list items as a condition to trigger an action.
The number of the state changes but I’m puzzled on how to use this.

Any help is highly appreciated!
TIA

Do you mean like…

condition: template
value_template: "{{ trigger.to_state.state|int > trigger.from_state.state|int }}"

… or something else ?

Hi Didgeridrew, thanks for jumping in!

I’m bending my head how to use this but cannot see it. :blush:
Sorry if my question is unclear…

What I’m trying to achieve is when a voice command is given to add an item to the shopping list, I would like to have a popup with the shopping list.
The popup is not a problem but I cannot find a way to use the increase of number of items as a trigger to show this popup.

Owkay, I got it:

trigger: state
entity_id:
  - todo.shopping_list
not_from:
  - unavailable
not_to:
  - unavailable

This seems to work so far, got it from one of your answers! :partying_face:
I also tried to use your example as a condition but that didn’t work.
It’s not exactly what I was looking for since removing an item also triggers but that’s not a biggy.
