Hope someone can help I want to setup Alexa to notify me if the bedroom temp is greater than 21°c at 20:00 but only if over 21c. I already have Alexa notification setup & am using Tado radiator valves for temperature. The attached just announces on Alexa even if temp is not over 21 thanks
Please copy/paste your automation between ``` 's using the “Edit it in YAML” option found under the meatball menu in the top right corner of the Automation editor so that we don’t have to rewrite your automation.
As it stands, your trigger is set to fire every time the temp goes from below 24 to above 24 (no matter what time it is) and at 17:59 everyday (no matter what the temp is).
Many thanks. Sorry I was doing some testing when I did the screen shot. This is the Yaml.

FWIW, you can combine the two notify actions by using a less specific service and providing both Echos as targets:
- service: notify.alexa_media
data:
message: Turn on the air conditioner
data:
type: tts
target:
- media_player.paul_4_echo_dot
- media_player.paul_s_2nd_echo_dot
