I have previously had this setup with a telegram bot to notify me but i have had to do a reinstall and lost the setup as it was not in the backup.
my telegram bot notifier is working ok but when i execute the automation it doesnt include any of the device names at all. it has the message but no device

I’ve also added some formatting with line breaks to the ‘names’ variable. This helps me see the information more clearly.
That’s how the message appears on Telegram:
And the code for the automatization (in case you want to use the same format):
The entity name for the battery type must be exactly the same as the battery sensor’s, but followed by ‘_type’. ie: sensor.philipspir1_battery → sensor.philipspir1_battery_type
If there’s no declared battery type entity or it doesn’t meet the rule above… it will assign ‘unknown’ for the battery type.
Thanks for this, works perfectly. Just one small adjustment as I have a few sensors which have battery_level as their entity name instead of just battery:
{% set battery_type = states(entity_id|replace('_level','')~'_type')|string %}
Hi,
I have created an automation using this blueprint quite a while ago. I am now getting an error for the automation as one of the device to be notified no longer valid due to an intentional change on the device. Hence I am trying to update or delete the automation but I am not able to edit the automation in the GUI nor find the automation in yaml.
I have the following lines in my configuration.yaml.
automation manual: !include_dir_merge_list automations/
automation ui: !include automations.yaml
I went through automations.yaml and the yaml files in automations/ but the automation is not listed. Any idea where it is stored ?
Thanks,
