Receiving daily telegram message at battery notes weak battery

Third party integrations

Heyhey
Im using battery notes and I want to check for devices with low threeshold every day (except on non workdays).
If there is a device present I want to receive a telegram message telling me the devices name and the batteries needed.
In the docs I found the following automation (where I added the workday test):

alias: Daily Battery Low Check
description: Check whether a battery is low
triggers:
  - trigger: time
    at: "09:00:00"
conditions:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.workday_sensor
    state: "on"
actions:
  - action: battery_notes.check_battery_low
    data: {}
mode: single

This, obviously, doesnt send any notification.
How do I get the devices now?

Do you have the other required automation?

No I do not have, because I dont understand this.
It wouldnt be an issue for me changing the other automation, which raises a persistent notification on battery low, into sending a telegram message.
But this automation uses the battery_notes_battery_threshold as trigger.
I think if I run - action: battery_notes.check_battery_low
the idea is to “manually” trigger this as the event is fired, if there is a device with low threshold available. Is this correct?

And if this is the way to go do I get notification every day for a low battery device, or only once?
And how to pretend the automation from running, outside “my call”.
This automation would send me a message as soon as a device has low battery, I dont want this to happen (only at specific time, when my check automation runs).

You need both automations. You can add your workday condition, that’s fine. You still need both automations for it to work though.

Hmm. Sorry I need to ask again as i stil didnt get it.

I now have both automations. The one that calls the battery low check:

action: battery_notes.check_battery_low

And the one that raises a persistent notification on battery low.
The battery low check can easy be scheduled with condition and I tested (as I have a low battery present at the moment), if I call the check_battery_low I get the persistent notification.

BUT the automation sending the persistent notification does run every time a battery wents low, doesnt it?
If I set a devices’ low battery state to 5% I should get a notification as soon as the battery hits this state.
How to prefent this?
