I’ve setup a flow basically to send me a message alerting me if I’ve left a window open when leaving my house. Currently I’ve grouped all my binary_sensors into group.windows and if 1 window is open it’s ‘on’ so I get a message. I can then view HA via iOS app and work out what to do.
I would however like to include in the alert the actual windows friendly_name so I can either turn around or keep going.
I was thinking I could create a template that would output and then I can pass the payload via the notify domain… but honestly I’ve been trying everything within the template section of HA and I can’t get it to actually output the friendly_name…
Any advice on how to do this would be appreciated.
Well this is literally what I wanted! Thank you, I’ll set it up and see what happens tomorrow when I can test out. I’ll post my final results etc. here to help anyone else, the website you sent looks great! Think I’ll be able to learn a lot.
I’m unable to upload the actual flow as I have multiple within the same page, however all I did was import from the URL and then change a couple of settings for example my sensors are
binary_sensor.openclose_1 etc.
also updated with the device I want to notify and the device I want to track ie person.tim
Anyway thank you Kermit! this was simple and worked exactly as documented.
