FAQ: How do I include the sensor name that triggered the automation in the message?

If you have many sensors (e.g., all your window sensors), you can configure the notification to indicate which sensor triggered the automation. This helps you identify what happened more easily.

1. For getting your entity ID in the message use this

{{ trigger.entity_id }}
