Push which window has been opened

Configuration
1

Hi there,

I’m using “Pushover” for notification like “windows left open”, “door bell” or “window has been opened” (if I’m away or sth). Works nice so far.

But I would like to have a push-notification with the information, which window has been opened. Especially, when I’m not at home.

like:
Entity “anyone-at-home” is not active and entity “kitchen-window-sensor” activated → pushover notification “Kitchen window has been opened”

Is there a solution for it?
I don’t want to create 17 automations (one for each window) with nearly the same configuration :see_no_evil:

Cheers!

This is really easy actually.

Create the automation and use the trigger.to_state.attributes.xxxx (i think) as the variable value in your pushover notification.

I have something with Join to tell me when someone leaves or comes home, here’s the excerpt

- alias: Someone Came Home
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: group.a, group.b, group.c, group.d
      from: 'not_home'
      to: 'home'
      for:
        seconds: 5
  action:
    - service: mqtt.publish
      data_template:
        topic: "ha/tracker/{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name | lower }}"
        payload: home
        retain: true
    - service: tts.google_say
      entity_id: media_player.livingroom_speaker
      data_template:
        message: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} is home now"

here’s my Join notification that goes to my phone

    - service: notify.join_a
      data_template:
        title: "Home Assitant"
        message: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} left home at {{ states('sensor.time') }}"

You should be able to cobble something that works for you from this.

mta: forgot some code

Works great so far. Couldn’t get it work with groups, but with the entities.
Looks like this:

alias: "PUSH: Fenster wurde nachts oder in Abwesenheit geöffnet"
description: ""
triggers:
  - entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.eg_garderobe_fensterkontakt
    to: "on"
    trigger: state
  - entity_id:
      - binary_sensor.eg_bad_wc_fensterkontakt
    to: "on"
    trigger: state
...
...
...
actions:
  - data:
      message: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} wurde geöffnet"
      title: WARNUNG
    action: notify.pushover
mode: single

But now I would like to do something similar (another automation) and can’t get it to work:
Trigger is “between 22 and 5 o’clock” and “last one leaves home”
Conditions are all my windows in one “or” operation.
action: Pushover-Message.

message: "{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} wurde geöffnet"

does not work here, because it is the condition, in the “or”-operation, which fires the action.
I tried “condition.to_state.attributes.friendly_name” but doesn’t work.

Is there a solution for this kind of automation?

To exchange triggers and conditions doesn’t work for me, because this automation does two things:

  • notify me, if there is a windows left open
  • notify me, if someone opens a window between 22 and 5 o’clock

Cheers!
