I want a notification on my phone to inform me the first time when the temperature goes below a certain point. So that I can disconnect the water outside to prevent the tubes from getting frozen.
At my location that’s mostly in october or november.
But when I use to see if it has been triggered this year than I will have this notification in january. But than I already have disconnect the water and I will not receive a new notification september/oktober.
So this condition is not correct:
The goal is to send a notification only once during the desired time period (November through January). If the temperature drops below freezing a second time then it should be ignored (suppress sending a notification).
What makes this challenging is the fact that the time range crosses from one year to the next. Here’s what I mean:
Let’s say the temperature never drops below freezing in 2021. It drops below freezing near the end of the time period in January 2022. Then it drops below freezing again near the beginning of the time period in November 2022. That’s twice in the same calendar year but the second time should not be ignored.
I do have a sensor which counts towards all seasons. So that is already a help.
My automation is currently as follow.
Automation trigger when temperature drops below 3.
Condition is that it’s already autumn and there are 185 days left before next autumn. So it means that actual date have to be between 21/9 and 21/3.

But now I have to make it so that it runs only once after start of autumn. How can I add that condition?
As I quite often miss notifications, I have a set of cards on the dashboard that only (!) pop-up when I need to do things. By physically clicking on them, it indicates ‘done’ and they disappear, a.o. add water to pool, set wastebin outside, check mailbox, etc.).
I do have notifications but there are so many from various sources that I lose track and easily swipe them away … not being remembered.
My take on it is…since you have no clue when the temp really drops … trigger the ‘turn of water’(input helper) when temp below XYZ for ABC hours. Send message and a pop-up card on dashboard. You can of course add your own above-mentioned logic to it.
I want this automations to disable only when I confirm that I have closed the water.
I have setup a confirmable notification but for some reason the automation is not disabled when I confirm that I have closed the water. What am I doing wrong?
