Hi!
I want to receive notifications on Telegram if a device has been switched on/off.
Currently I am making 2 automations for every device
trigger:
- platform: device
type: turned_off
device_id:
entity_id: switch.4x4_lights
domain: switch
condition: []
action:
- service: telegram_bot.send_message
data:
message: Lights for 4x4 have been switched off
mode: single
I have to repeat this automation for when it switches on, as the message changes.
Any easier/clutter free way of doing this instead as I have multiple switches going on/off throughout the day
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- switch.4x4_lights
- switch.abc
- switch.def
...
action:
- service: telegram_bot.send_message
data:
message: >
{{ trigger.to_state.name }} have been switched {{ trigger.to_state.state }}
This kind of works but I am receiving multiple notifications repeatedly.
For eg : Switch got triggered to on at 9:00 am
9:00am : Fan have been switched on
9:15am: Fan have been switched on
9:22am: Fan have been switched on
9:37am: Fan have been switched on
Well then, those switch entities must be changing more than just their state (i.e., attributes must be changing.) So, try changing the trigger to:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- switch.4x4_lights
- switch.abc
- switch.def
...
to:
- 'on'
- 'off'
