Hello all,
I have been trying to create automation which notify me if robot vacuum needs service.
The attributes which I want to follow are:
main_brush_left:
side_brush_left:
filter_left:
sensor_dirty_left:
Now, I have been testing with one attribute the functionality but this seems quite strange for me.
In the first automation vacuum attribute is used as condition and it is not working.
In the second automation I created template sensor from this same attribute and then it is working.
Does somebody know do I need to create separate template sensor from each attribute or is there some specific reason why the following code doesn’t work?
I couldn’t get this work:
alias: 'Notification: Robot vacuum needs service'
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: state
attribute: status
entity_id: vacuum.roborock_s5
from: Returning home
to: Charging
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: vacuum.roborock_s5
state: '0'
attribute: sensor_dirty_left
action:
- service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_test
data:
message: 'Robot vacuum needs attention'
title: Robot vacuum
mode: single
Created separate template sensor from same attribute:
sensor_dirty_left:
friendly_name: Sensor dirty left
value_template: >
{{ states.vacuum.roborock_s5.attributes.sensor_dirty_left }}
Put this template sensor as condition and then it is working:
alias: 'Notification: Robot vacuum needs service'
