Notice if Tesla is unlocked

Configuration
1

Im trying to create an automation where I get a notification if the car is unlocked and parked, after 1 minute.
With the automation below I receive the noticed although the car is locked. Do I need to use the attribute ‘shift_state’ and if so how do I look for the ‘P’ state?

alias: '[NOTICE] - Bilen är olåst'
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - entity_id: lock.el_rosso_door_lock
    for: 00:01:00
    platform: state
    to: unlocked
  condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.el_rosso_parking_brake_sensor
    state: 'on'
  action:
  - data:
      message: El Rosso är olåst!
    service: notify.telegram

The condition shouldn’t matter at all if the door was locked. The only way this triggers is if is in the unlocked state for at least 1 minute (THEN it will look at the condition).

The fact that you says you got it even though the car was locked is a little suspicious.

To answer your other question, I don’t have a tesla so I’m not sure about the attributes, but if you have an attribute you want to check for a trigger or condition, do this.

condition:
  - condition: template
    # Some condition that evaluates to 'true' or 'false'
    value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('sensor.tesla', 'shift_state', 'P') }}"

This will return True if sensor.tesla has an attribute named ‘shift_state’, who’s value is exactly ‘P’.
