Need help with automation for ibbq

I have the Inkbird I BBQ integration installed and working with esp proxy. My question is I created a drop-down helper to have on my dashboard with a few different temps I would like to receive a notification when probe 1 hits the temp I selected on my dashboard I have the helper already made I just don’t know how to turn that into automation to properly work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is one for mine, announcement on alexa and text but not yur integration …

      \ true\n{% elif states('sensor.ibbq_probe_2') != 'unknown' and states('sensor.ibbq_probe_2')

I Figured out that with an input Boolean I could type the temp I want and it works. For some reason with the drop-down it wants it to be exactly equal which it will rarely do. With input as long as the probe temp goes over it will trigger.
