I have a basic automation for when the tumble dryer stops using a sonoff POW and it works sort of well. The way I have set it up means I get a message when I reboot my HA which I don’t want… is there a way to trigger if it goes from xxx to yyy please?
you could add a condition to check if HA started recently.
I don’t believe if there’s a state you can track for how long HA has been up and running. So you could have an automation that runs on startup with an action that has no impact on your setup (e.g. set an input_boolean to its initial state):
