i have a motion sensor to see when the kids are up in my office room. i just need to know when they are in there once. as of now, i get multiple messages every 10 or 15 seconds as seen below:
- action:
- data:
message: motion detected from DOME sensor
service: notify.house_push
alias: sensor motion
condition: []
id: '1513522579448'
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.dome_motion_sensor
from: 'off'
platform: state
to: 'on'
how to get it, maybe once every 10 minutes? meaning if i get notified at 10:00 am, the next one will come at 10:10 am and not every 15 seconds?
ps, the code above looks kinda funky cause i used HA GUI to create the automation…
i will assume, i would put your code at the end of my configuration.yaml?
no changes to my automation.yaml, correct?
sorry for the late response. just was super busy with a newborn son. thanks for your help.
No you need to put this as a condition for each automation you want this to apply to. You’ll have to replace the automation name in the code to match the automation you want checked
strange i only added the condition template in automations.yaml file and that didnt work. in fact, it hates so much that my access to my HA at http://192.168.1.202:8123/ shows up blank
im using HA .60. not sure if that matters or not

You should test your code with hass --script check_config or the built in code checker in Configuration > General > Check Config. This error would have been highlighted thene
I have notifications tell me when the weather has changed ( any state to any state). My problem is similar, about every hour I have the same state, mainly partlycloudy, repeating notifications. How can I change your script so I never get the same state repeated. Your script looks like it has a timer starting on the last trigger. I was thinking of making the timer so long that it does not repeat… like a day later. That way by then it will in fact change state.
