Sensor value in message

Configuration
1

I’d like to include the sensor value in my message, but testing the data below just sends the string, any ideas?

{
“message”: “The temperature is set to sensor.thermostat_cool_setpoint”
}

Found the solution thanks to https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/2058:

- alias: "Notify when AC setpoint changes"
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.thermostat_cool_setpoint
  condition:
    condition: and
    conditions:
      - condition: template
        value_template: '{{ trigger.entity_id != None }}'
      - condition: template
        value_template: '{{ trigger.from_state.state != trigger.to_state.state }}'
  action:
    - service: notify.notify_push_android
      data_template:
        message: >
          AC setpoint is now {{ trigger.to_state.state }}
