Hello,
I am pretty new to Home Assistant. And I want to Automate my power plug!
It reads the current in watts. I can also read out (see it on the current on the dashboard) the power plug. Now I want to create an Automation wich looks if the current goes from above 10w to under 10w, then it should send out an automation.
My automation till now:
Hi. Welcome. You are using a state trigger/condition, which is used for equals or not equals. What you need instead is a numeric_state trigger/condition, which test for above, below.
Yes, but I want that the current was above 10w beforehand.
If you test below, it will only fire when going from above to below. That is exactly what it does.
I don’t really get it, so where can I define, that it should only fire when it was above 10w?
Read the docs I linked to: That is implied. It is true for all triggers, they only fire if a situation changes from something that was not the case to something that is the case.
