Paradox Alarm Integration - Notifications (MQTT)

Hi There,

I have successfully been using my Paradox alarm via MQTT + IP150 Module. I have full control working.

However I want to get a notification of what Zone has triggered the alarm (when armed). It is published in MQTT but I have no idea how to extract that information into just the “zone name” (eg ‘garage door’) and include that in a notification.

All and any help will be appreciated.

I use the following:

service: notify.persistent_notification
data_template:
  message: |
    Something happened at home!
    {{ expand(state_attr('binary_sensor.alarm_sensors', 'entity_id')) 
      |selectattr('state','eq','on')
      |map(attribute='name')
      |join(', ') }} was triggered
enabled: true

where binary_sensors.alarm_sensors is a group with all the alarm zone trouble enties and smoke entities (I use manual matt config, and have the zone/open zone/touble and zone/alarm) as entities.

Thank you for your help. @psyciknz

Do you mind sharing a screenshot of the automation config?
Screenshot below is what I currently have.

I’ve got the following trigger

It uses that group
