Hi John,

Have a look at State Notifications & Actions Blueprint. It includes “Start” and “End” states with action buttons and associated actions. “Start” for when the garage is open and “End” for when the garage is closed.

I’m planning to add a recurring message option to keep reminding you until the task is done, though I don’t have a timeline for that feature yet.

That said, this blueprint should still be useful for your needs.

Piper

Hi, i’m using HAOS and i followed your instructions and even restarted Home Assistant after installing Piper (which is started), but i can’t select it in the “Text-to-Speech Service Provider” field. Did i miss anything ?

@Chartreusito

Once you installed piper go into the add on and the documentation page tab at the top. You will see the below… there you will have to install Wyoming… it should be auto discovered in settings > device & services

Is there a way to have the notification tell you which sensor ran the automation? I am setting this up for smoke and water sensors.

@RogerB1

It would be the same way as the state blueprint. I have also replied to you over on that topic. Click Here

Hi Blacky,

Thank you once again for your outstanding blueprints!

I have a question regarding a wishlist entry: Is there already a way to repeat notifications until the original state is restored? I’d like to use this feature for doors when airing rooms. For example, after the door has been open for 10 minutes, I’d like to receive push notifications every X minutes until it is closed.

Thanks again!

@xXkr13g3rXx

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes this will be added to this blueprint… I have added it to another one of my blueprints and I just need time to add this feature to this one.

Hi Blacky! Just got a reolink doorbell, and found your blueprint - perfect!

One request, the TTS integrations don’t seem to work with Alexa. Is there a way to use the “notify” action or incorporate this into the blueprint? thanks!

[Blacky]

@Nuwanda

I will put this on the list to add to this blueprint.

Oh la la… Un grand merci pour cette automatisation… simple à mettre en oeuvre pour des novices comme moi… une chance que je sois tombée sur votre post… je cherche depuis plusieurs semaines à obtenir ce genre d’alerte d’état ! et là, il y a tout ce dont j’ai besoin ! (ios et google même si son français est très moyen pour le coup) lol
ENCORE MERCI !!!

Bonjour,
J’adore toujours autant votre automatisme… qui m’a permis de créer un bouton virtuel pour signaler à la tribu de venir dans la cuisine ! mais trop trop bien ! j’adore !

Juste une petite question, peut-être hors sujet, j’ai un portail électrique qui se commande bien sûr, aussi avec une télécommande physique.

Est-il possible de recevoir une alerte lorsqu’il est activé par cette télécommande et non pas par l’application HA ? c’est peut être tout bête… mais comme je le disais, je découvre tout doucement cette usine à gaz qu’est Home assistant…

Merci par avance pour une réponse apportée… et bonne journée/nuit à vous…selon le fuseau horaire…

@iflo

Good morning,
I still love your automation… which allowed me to create a virtual button to signal the tribe to come into the kitchen! but too good! I adore !

Just a quick question, perhaps off topic, I have an electric gate which can of course be controlled, also with a physical remote control.

Is it possible to receive an alert when activated by this remote control and not by the HA application? it may be quite stupid… but as I said, I am slowly discovering this gas factory that is Home assistant…

Thank you in advance for your response… and have a good day/night… depending on the time zone…

I use it to call everyone when it is dinner time to, it was the main reason I developed this blueprint and I love it too. Tip: Make sure you set this time restriction so when you accidentally press it to call everyone at 1am in the morning you don’t wake everyone up

In order to receive an alert from the remote control, Home Assistant (HA) must be able to detect when the remote is pressed. This event then acts as the trigger for an automation, which can send you an alert or notification using the blueprint.

In French

Je l’utilise pour appeler tout le monde à l’heure du dîner, c’est la principale raison pour laquelle j’ai développé ce plan et je l’aime aussi. Astuce : assurez-vous de définir cette limite de temps afin que lorsque vous appuyez accidentellement dessus pour appeler tout le monde à 1 heure du matin, vous ne réveilliez pas tout le monde

Afin de recevoir une alerte de la télécommande, Home Assistant (HA) doit être capable de détecter le moment où la télécommande est enfoncée. Cet événement agit ensuite comme déclencheur d’une automatisation, qui peut vous envoyer une alerte ou une notification à l’aide du plan.

Thank you for the Information!

To which one? Maybe I could use the other blueprint in the meantime.

[burjuyz]

{{ states[trigger.entity_id].attributes.friendly_name }}
if i use this code a cant get notifications…
Do i need to change it according names of entity_id?

[Blacky]

@xXkr13g3rXx

I added it to the below blueprint but it is different than this one. It will be added but I am really busy at the moment. In about a week work will calm down again and I will get back to normal.

Appliance Notifications & Actions - Washing Machine - Clothes Dryer - Dish Washer - ETC

Welcome to the community.

No it should work. Could you please provide us your YAML of the automation? This YAML code are the settings you have selected in the automation so I can help. To do this go into your automation, top right 3 dots, Edit in YAML, copy all the code, come back to the forum and in your reply at the top tool bar click on “</>” and paste code in there.

Dear Craig
thanks for warm welcome.

    persistent_title: 📢 Water leak detected

i want to receive notifications with trigger.entity_id.

also i get problem if Z2m restarts or reconnect to waterleak detectors i receive notifications so i cant use them to prevent waterleaks due to false positives.
If i install water switch-off valve when reconnecting z2m i will get false positives
