Notify device or group | execute action based on binary_sensor with debounce option

Hi there,

just want to share this blueprint. I use it for my door bell or post box sensor. It’s based on the state of a binary_sensor. You can define a debounce duration: E.g. when someone presses the door bell button more than one time, you’ll get only one notification until the debounce time is over.
You can set one device to notify, a notification group or let execute a custom action.
