I didn’t change anything but it seems like it started working now :person_shrugging:

Edit: still not working

246

Ok, try this. Works for me:

{{ not (state_attr('zone.husky','friendly_name') | trim == zone_to | trim and is_state('input_boolean.husky_notified', 'on')) }}

Hi, nice work there.
One suggestion though: Could you add option for android auto?

car_ui: true/false

It would be nice to see notification on my car display if I’m near store and have items in shopping list. This works fine be me on phone.

248

I am using the Life360 integration for presence. It provides the state “driving”. Problem is, this integration sees “driving” as a zone, so it is sending me messages that the person “has arrived at driving”. I don’t want that. How can I exclude “driving” as a zone in the automation?

First off, thank you so much for this blueprint. I am very new to Home Assistant in general, and even newer to the concept of blueprints.

I’ve read through the entire ZNE topic/thread. Would it be possible to elaborate at a basic level the Notification Group setting? I looked at the ZNE FAQ and didn’t find any beginner level information on being able to send a notification to both the HA Person’s phone, and the spouse of the HA Person’s phone.

When I was working, many things were more intuitively obvious to me. Having been retired for over a decade, I sadly am finding less and less intuitively obvious. If someone were willing to be more ‘step by step’ I would be quite appreciative. I hope someday I will get to the state where HA things are more obvious to me but unfortunately for me, (and for my wife’s andriod notifications) I am not there yet.

Thank you again for the work you’ve done on the blueprint, and the time you’ve spent reading this.

Hi gar.nelson,
Welcome to the forum. Let’s see if I can be of any assistance.

Your best bet would be to look at the Blueprints Exchange - Home Assistant Community category and find a blueprint that one of the community members has written that will help you with this. I believe there are several. I have one that doesn’t do exactly that but similar as well.

If you are looking for tips on other things, The Home Assistant Cookbook - Index might be able to help there.

Thank you for your response. As I wrote earlier, I’m specifically trying to get Zome Notification Extended notifications to go to both my phone, and my wife’s phone. That is why I commented in this Zone Notification Extended comment area. My guess is that it would be a fairly common procedure to get notifications to two parties living in the same household, and thought it might appear as part of the FAQ. I know there is some sort of edit to a yaml file that I would guess many, many, many people have already done–I just don’t “get” yaml files yet. That’s why I posted here, specifically looking for a solution to a shortcoming I have with Zone Notification Extended notifications specifically due to my current lack of Home Assistant yaml programming knowledge.

252

Yeah you’ll need to create a notification group in your configuration.yaml file. Did you get it figured out?

253

Not yet. I learn more every day, but I haven’t learned that yet. :slight_smile: I haven’t given up though, so I’ll get it at some point and my phone will not be the only notification device.

254

Thank you for an outstanding blueprint. I am trying to apply waze travel time but for the sensor in your example wont work since each zone has it own sensor to home. I would appreciate if you can explain how to achieve that with an example code.

255

I didn’t use waze travel time. But it seems there are several sensors for the one integration that directs to the home zone?

256

I am not aware of that! But I would appreciate it if anyone can share their experience with waze using this blueprint.

257

@panhans First of all big thanks for the blueprint.

I set ip up so when I arrive home that he send me a notification, so far so good it worked fine. But I want to add another condition before the action part should be triggered, I don’t want to receive a notification outside the house, I want to just receive it when I open the door, and here comes the problem, if I add a Custom Condition like this:

condition: state
entity_id: binary_sensor.maximinos_door_sensor
state: "on"

when it detects that I’m home, the door sensor is not open yet, so it returns false and don’t send the notification. Is it possible to do what I want?

Thanks.

I am getting this on the latest version.

Executed: December 28, 2024 at 3:22:22 PM

Error: UndefinedError: ‘dict object’ has no attribute ‘entity_id’

Template variable error: ‘dict object’ has no attribute ‘entity_id’ when rendering ‘{{ state_attr(trigger.entity_id,‘friendly_name’) }}’

Did you try to manually execute the automation? In this case there is the trigger entiy missing and this error occurs.

260

Hello. The blueprint is really helpful and well done. My question or improvement would be: Is it currently possible to automatically delete the sent message after a certain time?

e.g. person x has reached location y. After 1 hour the message automatically disappears again.

261

Hey, not possible atm. But my plan is to create a new version with a new code base of this blueprint. I put this on my list.

262

My problem is the following. I set the duration time. When I get home, get out of the car, for a short time my gps signal sends that I am leaving my home, so my switch turns off. When I go home or leave home everything works fine. That is why I set the duration time, because I trusted that it would eliminate the short-term gps signal drift. What is the solution?

263

Sorry! I checked the logs. Since both rounds start from the same point, home and my city, I come home and leave the city zone when I enter the home zone.
On the other hand, when I get home, I don’t want my device to turn off automation. Does anyone have a solution for this? Your idea? Thanks.

264

I solved it, thank you.
