Vacuum cleaning_count automation trigger

Configuration
1

Hi guys,

I’ve been trying to get my automation trigger working for the past few hours but obviously doing something wrong!

Here’s my code from automation:

- id: vacuum_complete_ios_notification
  alias: Vacuum Complete
  trigger:
    platform: numeric_state
    entity_id: vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner
    value_template: '{{ state.attributes.cleaning_count }}'
    above: 0
  condition:
#     - condition: template
#       value_template: '{{ trigger.from_state.state != none }}'
#     - condition: template
#       value_template: '{{ states.sensor.vacuum_cleaning_count.state | int > 0 }}'
#       value_template: '{{ states.vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner.attributes.cleaning_count | int > 0 }}'
     - condition: template
       value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.state|int > trigger.from_state.state|int }}'
  action:
    service: notify.ios_my_iphone
    data:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "Jeeves has finished cleaning."
      data:
        push:
          thread-id: "home-assistant-vacuum"

I did have another sensor called sensor.vacuum_cleaning_count that just pulled the cleaning_count attribute but thought that doing it the right way was better (although harder :slight_smile:)

I just need it to trigger when it goes from one number to a higher number.

Any chance someone could point out my silly mistake(s)?

I just tried this but it’s still no good:

- id: vacuum_complete_ios_notification
  alias: Vacuum Complete
  trigger:
    platform: template
    value_template: '{{ states.vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner.attributes.cleaning_count|int > trigger.from_state.state|int }}'
  action:
    service: notify.ios_my_iphone
    data:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "Jeeves has finished cleaning."
      data:
        push:
          thread-id: "home-assistant-vacuum"

i feel like I’m closer though :smile:

edit: and this, but still no good :frowning:

- id: vacuum_complete_ios_notification
  alias: Vacuum Complete
  trigger:
    platform: template
    value_template: '{{ states.vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner.attributes.cleaning_count|int + 1 }}'
  action:
    service: notify.ios_my_iphone
    data:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "Jeeves has finished cleaning."
      data:
        push:
          thread-id: "home-assistant-vacuum"

Is the count actually changing? Triggers only check state changes, if no state change occurs, nothing is checked.

Also this should work if the number changes.

- id: vacuum_complete_ios_notification
  alias: Vacuum Complete
  trigger:
    platform: template
    value_template: '{{ states.vacuum.xiaomi_vacuum_cleaner.attributes.cleaning_count > 0 }}'
  action:
    service: notify.ios_my_iphone
    data:
      title: "Home Assistant"
      message: "Jeeves has finished cleaning."
      data:
        push:
          thread-id: "home-assistant-vacuum"

Although it may always return true when any state changes. Might need to store the last count number and check against that.

I have a similair automation. I created a seperate custom sensor for the cleaning_count and trigger an automation on state change of this custom sensor (which is on the moment it docks after completing a cleanup) .

Custom sensor:

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      roborock_count:
        value_template: "{{ states.vacuum.roborock.attributes.cleaning_count }}"

Automation:

- alias: 'Roborock finished cleanup'
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.roborock_count
  action:
    - service: notify.telegram
      data_template:
        message: 'Roborock cleaning finished. Cleaned {{ states.vacuum.roborock.attributes.cleaned_area }}m² in {{ states.vacuum.roborock.attributes.cleaning_time }} minutes. Battery level: {{ states.vacuum.roborock.attributes.battery_level }}%. Recharging now.'
