@NKH Yes, sure; I can share a different version in a bit (in the middle of a busy workday now). I assume that you mean a sensor with a temperature reading, correct?
@r100gs anything is possible and I will be happy to help; however, in my view we will end up with a too generic of a blueprint. For me, the core point of a blueprint is to capture a pattern and reduce cost of creating similar automations by fixing the logic and common structure. To offer the freedom of choosing a temperature sensor or a binary sensor (and then with values), will make the blueprint too generic.
We can create a version that depends on the state of a binary sensor, and for example remove the temperature choice.
Hi @NKH , here is a version I made for a custom temperature sensor. Keep in mind that I set the class of the selector to limit the choices to temperature devices. Depending on your setup it may not list your device. If you find any problems, let me know and we can debug it together.

it’s working perfect
I’m happy that it’s working.
