NWS Alerts triggers are not working

Configuration
1

I have several triggers configured to use active UGC zone ID’s for testing purposes. I can see they are active in the integration. But my triggers are never activated. I’m checking for any changes in state, or numeric states above 0. The automation is enabled. I don’t see what I’m doing wrong, any ideas?

-Thanks

alias: NWS Alert
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.nws_alerts_alerts
    enabled: true
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.nws_alerts_alerts_4
  - trigger: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.nws_alerts_alerts_5
    to: null
    from: null
  - trigger: numeric_state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.nws_alerts_alerts_5
    above: 0
  - trigger: numeric_state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.nws_alerts_alerts_4
    above: 0

They look like this in the visual editor:

I’m not familiar at all with that integration, so the below is just general advice.

Numeric state triggers only fire when the threshold is crossed. In your case, the state would have to go from 0 to 1 (or higher) to trigger the automation.

If it’s already at 1 & goes up to 2, then it will not trigger again until it goes down to 0

Thanks for the sound advice. I found the problem was related to multiple NWS Alert entities not working correctly. I’ll post my findings…

To make a long story short, I created additional active entries by using the “Add entry” button shown below, for testing purposes. These entries created additional entities that I was not accessing correctly. I wound up adding additional zones to my existing entry for testing purposes (shown below), and everything worked after that.

If you ever have an issue with this integration in the future please feel free to tag me in your post for help.

(it’s my integration)

But glad you got it working.
