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.
