Pushbullet Newline in Notification

Bupher · May 31, 2025, 3:56pm

Hi All. I am trying to use the ha-bambulab HACS addon to send pushbullet notifications when the printer status changes. There is an HMS (health management system) sensor with attributes that shows the error status of the machine.

I have triggering working, pushbullet working, etc. But, I cannot figure out how to get a newline in the message. I have tried \n, <br>, just adding spaces between the lines, etc.

Anyone have any experience and may be able to help?

action: notify.pushbullet
metadata: {}
data:
  message: >-
    P1S Intervention Required
    <br>
    {{state_attr('binary_sensor.p1s_hms_errors','1-Error')}}
    <br>
    "Severity: "{{state_attr('binary_sensor.p1s_hms_errors','1-Severity')}}
    <br>
    {{state_attr('binary_sensor.p1s_hms_errors','1-Wiki')}}

Hello

Here’s a persistant notification I use.
I expect it should be similar. You would have to try it.
This works, however.

          sequence:
            - alias: Notify interested parties with notification_id
              action: persistent_notification.create
              data:
                title: "{{ person | default(_person) + ' Status' }}"
                message: >
                  {{ 'Regarding: ' + person | default(_person) + '\n' + flip +
                  '\n\nNotification_id: ' + notify_id | default(_notify_id) }}
                notification_id: "{{ notify_id | default(_notify_id) }}"
            - alias:
                Add a delay so notification stays up a while
                # Pick your display time. If you set 0 this notification doesn't show.
              delay:
                minutes: 2
            - alias: Kill the notification
              action: persistent_notification.dismiss
              data:
                notification_id: "{{ notify_id | default(_notify_id) }}"
          
          mode: single

I appreciate the assistance, I got it now.

Seems there is a difference between message: >- and message: >

action: notify.pushbullet
metadata: {}
data:
  message: >
    {{'Error Count: '}}
    {{state_attr('binary_sensor.p1s_01p09c470403216_hms_errors','Count')}}
    {{'\n\n'}}
    {{state_attr('binary_sensor.p1s_01p09c470403216_hms_errors','1-Error')}}
    {{'\n\n'}}
    {{state_attr('binary_sensor.p1s_01p09c470403216_hms_errors','1-Wiki')}}
