Notification if door or windows are open

Configuration
1

I have a working notification that sends a telegram-message about which doors or windows are open.
But how can I tweak this to only send the message IF something actually is open?

As an example, this is what it sends now:
If nothings is open: The following doors and windows are open: “”
Is something is open: The following doors and windows are open “Front door, bathroom window”

message: >-
  Følgande dører og vinduer er opne! "{{ states | selectattr('entity_id', 'in',
  state_attr('group.all_doors_and_windows','entity_id')) |
  selectattr('state','in',['on','open']) | list | map(attribute='name') |
  join(', ') }}"

How are you triggering your automation? It shouldn’t trigger when no door/window is open
. Please show the full automation.

We use booleans to turn on or off different “modes” or “scenes” in our house. Like “Home” or “God night” or “Gone”.

What kind of entities are in this group.all_doors_and_windows? Only binary_sensors or also sensors?

5

Only binary

  all_doors_and_windows:
    name: Dører og vinduer
    icon: mdi:window-open-variant
    entities:
      - binary_sensor.inngangsdor
      - binary_sensor.terrassedor
      - binary_sensor.loftstuedor
      - binary_sensor.garasjedor
      - binary_sensor.dorinnigarasjen
      - binary_sensor.kjoleskapssensor
      - binary_sensor.vindu_vart_soverom
      - binary_sensor.malinavindu
      - binary_sensor.vindu_bad_oppe
      - binary_sensor.kjokkenvindu_hogre
      - binary_sensor.kjokkenvindu_venstre
      - binary_sensor.kjokkenvindu_skulen

Ok, then try this:

alias: Varsling dersom vinduer eller dører åpne
description: ''
trigger:
  - entity_id: 
      - input_boolean.godnatt
      - input_boolean.kjorer_hjemmefra
      - input_boolean.gaar_hjemmefra
      - input_boolean.ferie
      - input_boolean.kveldskos
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
condition:
  condition: state
  entity_id: group.all_doors_and_windows
  state: 'on'
action:
  - variables:
      open_doors: "{{ expand('group.all_doors_and_windows')|selectattr('state', 'eq', 'on')|map(attribute='name')|list }}"
  - service: notify.telegram_daniel
    data:
      message: >-
        Følgande dører og vinduer er opne! {{ open_doors }}
  - service: notify.telegram_anette
    data:
      message: >-
        Følgande dører og vinduer er opne! {{ open_doors }}
mode: single

If at least one window/door is open (at least one binary_sensor is on) then the group state will be ‘on’. So you can use the group state as a condition. I also tried to simplify/shorten your code.

Thank you so much for your time!

I get:
“Message malformed: invalid template (TemplateSyntaxError: expected token ‘end of print statement’, got ‘doors’) for dictionary value @ data[‘action’][2][‘data’]”

When trying to save it. Any pointers?
I have simply pasted it as a YAML-edit.

You solved my issue with something as simple as the condition.

I added it like this:

alias: Varsling dersom vinduer eller dører åpne
description: ''
trigger:
  - entity_id: input_boolean.godnatt
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  - entity_id: input_boolean.kjorer_hjemmefra
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  - entity_id: input_boolean.gaar_hjemmefra
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  - entity_id: input_boolean.ferie
    platform: state
    to: 'on'
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.kveldskos
    to: 'on'
condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: group.all_doors_and_windows
    state: 'on'
action:
  - data:
      message: >-
        Følgande dører og vinduer er opne! "{{ states | selectattr('entity_id',
        'in', state_attr('group.all_doors_and_windows','entity_id')) |
        selectattr('state','in',['on','open']) | list | map(attribute='name') |
        join(', ') }}"
    service: notify.telegram_daniel
  - service: notify.telegram_anette
    data:
      message: >-
        Følgande dører og vinduer er opne! "{{ states | selectattr('entity_id',
        'in', state_attr('group.all_doors_and_windows','entity_id')) |
        selectattr('state','in',['on','open']) | list | map(attribute='name') |
        join(', ') }}"
mode: single

But if your willing to use more time with your simplified / shortened code, I am interested !

The second message misses a _ between open and doors. I fixed it.

Thank you very much!
That did the trick!
