Repeating Notification requiring Acknowledgement within an Automation?

Configuration
1

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to create a repeating notification that requires acknowledgement within an automation!?!?

I have an automation that watches the washing machine wattage and sends a notification once it’s “off for 2 minutes”, works great, I want that notification to repeat until acknowledge. I can’t seem to figure this one out.

Probably you can do that by having-

  1. Input_boolean ON as WHILE condition
  1. Actionable notification to turn OFF input_boolean

Try using an alert.

In your automation turn ON an input boolean and then use this input boolean to trigger the alert. The alert will continue sending you a message until the input boolean goes to OFF. You can also have an actionable notification being sent by the alert, which will then turn OFF the input boolean as well.
