Problem with Garage automation

Configuration
1

Hi,

Both automatons below work correctly only when the other is disabled. If the close door notification is on the open door notification doesn’t work.

Any ideas?

- id: '1536982795486'
  alias: Garage Notification
  trigger:
    platform: state                    
    entity_id: binary_sensor.garage_door
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on' 
  action:
    service: notify.telenotif
    data:
      message: 'Garage door is open.'
      
      
- id: '1536982795484'
  alias: Garage Notification
  trigger:
    platform: state                    
    entity_id: binary_sensor.garage_door
    from: 'on'
    to: 'off' 
  action:
    service: notify.telenotif
    data:
      message: 'Garage door is closed.'

Try removing the from: sections in the triggers. You really only need the to: part

You can condense this into one automation:

- id: '1536982795486'
  alias: Garage Notification
  trigger:
    platform: state                    
    entity_id: binary_sensor.garage_door
  action:
    service: notify.telenotif
    data:
      message_template: >
          {% if trigger.to_state == "On" %}
            Garage door is open
          {% else %}
            Garage door is closed
          {% endif %}
