Hello, can you be a little more specific? I’m a bit new to this. Can you give me more details on how to do it? I really appreciate your help

Your question is very vague. Which part of the process are you stuck at? Is it the basic concept and setup of an automation, creating up a zone to use as the trigger, setting up the companion app so you have a device tracker and notifier… It’s difficult (and usually a waste of everybody’s time) for us to give advice on the next step if you don’t tell us any details.

Sorry for the few details. My main problem is with the condition. How do I check the status of my list and see if it is empty or not? This is the automation code

alias: Test list
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: zone
    entity_id: person.rafael
    zone: zone.compra_1
    event: enter
condition:
  - condition: state
    entity_id: todo.lista_de_la_compra
    attribute: supported_features
    state: not empty
action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_de_rafael
    metadata: {}
    data:
      message: Your list is not empty
      title: Home Assistant
mode: single

Here you go.
You may need to adjust something, for example your shopping list location in lovelace. But with this automation you receive a notification when you are at the supermarket and there are groceries on the list.

alias: Shopping List Notification
description: Shopping list reminder when you are near the supermarket.
trigger:
  - platform: zone
    entity_id: person.rafael
    zone: zone.compra_1
    event: enter
condition:
  - condition: numeric_state
    entity_id: todo.shopping_list
    above: 0
action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone_de_rafael
    data:
      message: Open your shopping list?
      data:
        clickAction: /lovelace/shopping-list
        url: /lovelace/shopping-list
mode: single
