Figured I’d share my leak detector notification flow that I built off this thread’s basic ideas. I wanted a centralized notification flow so I could easily add more sensors as needed.
This flow has a 5 min backoff after each round of notifications so I don’t get overwhelmed by some errant sensor. You need a “Leak Sensors” group containing all sensors’ binary_sensor values.
