Notify me when somebody is Heating

Configuration
1

Hello Guys i want to get an E-Mail notification as soon as somebody starts heating. For that i created a E-Mail Notification like this :

notify:
  - name: "email"
    platform: smtp
    server: "smtp.office365.com"
    port: 587
    timeout: 15
    sender: "my E-Mail"
    encryption: starttls
    username: "my E-Mail"
    password: "my password"
    recipient:
      - "my E-Mail"
    sender_name: "Home Assistant"

I testes it by sendig a Text with notify.email and it works.

Now i want to connect that part to an alert or some kind of automatic notification as soon as somebody activates heating on one of my Devices.

I was trying these codes so far but none of em wants to send an E-Mail even tho i get no error messages when i test the configuration.yaml.

climate_manner_toilette:
    name: heating aktiv.
    entity_id: sensor.manner_toilette_heating
    state: "{{ states('sensor.manner_toilette_heating') | float(0) >= 99.00 }}"
    repeat: 5
    can_acknowledge: true
    skip_first: False
    message:  >
      Es wird geheizt.
    done_message: >
      Es wird nicht mehr geheizt.
    notifiers:
      - email

climate_kuche:
    name: heating
    entity_id: sensor.kuche_heating
    state: "100,0"
    repeat: 1
    can_acknowledge: true
    skip_first: False
    notifiers:
      - email

Ive tried alot of diffrent variations but none of them are working. I would be happy if somebody could help me or give me some kind of idea on how to make it work.

Here are some informations on my Devices.

I have tado heating and the heating can be ‘on’ without the heating being at 100%

This is what it looks like now with the heating on ‘low’:-

Yeah thats true maybe i should change it so it sends a notification at 50% heating. I did always change the state of the device i was testing to 100% afterwards tho. So it should still have send an E-Mail.

Try this:-

alias: Heating Turned On
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.main_house_heating
    from: "0"
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 1
      seconds: 0
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.myemailer
    data:
      message: Heating has turned on
      title: Heating Alert
mode: single

You’ll have to change the entity id to the one you use to track the heating on %.

This automation will send you an email when the heating % changes from 0 to some other value for at least 1 minute.

I tried this at home on my tado gear and for some reason, it never fires, so I’ve tweaked it to use the platform: device which might work:-

alias: Heating Turned On
description: ""
trigger:
  - type: value
    platform: device
    device_id: e3b577410d4dcfb32acaa46ee8dbe3ba
    entity_id: sensor.main_house_heating
    domain: sensor
    above: 0
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 1
      seconds: 0
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.mymailer
    data:
      message: Heating has turned on
      title: Heating Alert
mode: single
