Don’t know if it works, but have you tried it without a template sensor?
Just templating the message you want to send?
action:
service: notify.pushbullet
data_template:
title: 'New Home Assistant Release'
target: 'YOUR_TARGET_HERE' #See Pushbullet component for usage
message: "Home Assistant {{ states.updater.updater.state }} is now available."
Another solution would be to send a html mail via smtp.
This can be as long as you want.
EDIT: Works! Tried it with the example of the templates tool.
- service: notify.pushsafer
data_template:
message: >-
{% for state in states.sensor -%}
{%- if loop.first %}The {% elif loop.last %} and the {% else %}, the {% endif -%}
{{ state.name | lower }} is {{state.state_with_unit}}
{%- endfor %}
