šŸŒ Zone Notification Extended

Blueprints Exchange

145

Hello,
Iā€™ve just found out about this blueprint as Iā€™m looking to send notifications when people leave/arrive any declared zone without having to list them all in an automation.
My issue is, I donā€™t want to send notifications to devices but rather call the Telegram service to send notifications there. I read in this page that there is supposed to be a ā€œcustom actionā€ section but I cannot find it after importing the blueprint. The only actions there seem to be are ā€œDevice to notifyā€ and ā€œNotification Groupā€ or did I miss something ?

Thank you,

146

Than you for all the work you have done in this excellent Blueprint.
I would like to know how to verify the version I have installed in my HA, and Iā€™m case to be necessary, how to update?
Greetings

147

How would I use the blueprint to add two buttons to the notificationsā€¦ One to open /todo?entity_id=todo.shopping_list and the other to just close the notification.

Basically I want to set up the local shopping centers as zones, then when my GF or I enter that zone, there will be a ā€œShopping List Reminderā€ notification with a button to open the list and one to ignore the notification.

Did you import version 3.4? At the buttom you find custom conditions and actions.

Iā€™ve re-imported the blueprint and now I see them. Iā€™m not quite sure how I got the wrong version in the first place (I did import multiple times). Maybe Iā€™m just blind ^^ Thanks for the quick reply!

The blueprint works great. I know you are likely busy with work/life, but I appreciate your work and hope to see custom buttons added soon. :slight_smile:

151

The automation works great thank you !
Question: is there a way to have some kind of selector for all zones instead of having to enter them one by one ? I would like to send enter/leave notifications for all registered zones in such a way that if I create a new zone it is automatically taken into account by the automation. Is this possible ?
Thanks a lot,

Feature Request:
Your Blueprint works quite well for my use case with 1 small exception. (Church)
I use it to vibrate my phone when in a quite zone and return the ringer to normal on exit.
I have a couple of additional tasks Iā€™d like to automate re. Church and a trigger_id equating to the zone entered or left would be quite helpful. Iā€™m aware I could capture the zone count for the entering portion & employ a helper to save the entered zone for the departing bit. The trigger_id just seems much cleaner & may well prove quite useful to others.
Iā€™m too much of a noob to be clear about the level of effort this might require, so no problem if it is out of scope.
Thanks for creating & maintaining this.

I have this problemā€¦only with this blueprintsā€¦
image

155

Is there a way I can toggle this to send a critical alert again? (only for a certain automation not the entire blueprint?)

I have two automations one is just entering/exiting all my zones which is for normal notifications and my goal is to have a separate automation that send a critical alert to my wife when I arrive to pick her up at one singular zone

I tried manually configuring the automation but was not able to figure it out has anybody successfully done this?

156

Hey guys. Will have a look into your issues and feature requests next week. Thanks for your feedback!

157

Would it be possible to make the device that entered the zone the target? That would make this absolutely perfect for me.

Track the entire family and all the shops, and only send the shopping list to the person that enters the shop.

158

Any update to my issue?

160

@Migs @RickSisco @jeshmont

ADD: Custom button with URL
ADD: critical notification on iOS
ADD: ability to select all zones (just leave zones blank)

161

Did you check your person entity in logbook if the state changed correctly corresponding to the defined zones? That means is your tracking working properly?

Also try a minimal version first without any conditions. So just define persons and zones and if it works for you add your conditions and actions successively.

162

Did I understand correctly that the ā€œDurationā€ parameter also affects leaving the zone? If Iā€™m right, it might be convenient to make separate settings for ā€œArrivingā€ and ā€œLeavingā€.
Thanks for creating & maintaining this :slight_smile:

Hello to everyone,
I like the features of the blueprint and tried to set it up:

alias: Zone Notification Extended Barbara & Stef

      - zone.walid
      - zone.arbeit_ut

    zones_leaving:
      - zone.eltern_babels

I have this Automation running for 2 days, me and my wife left the home zone serveral times, but the result is: Nothing :slight_smile:

Does anyone have a clue?

You donā€™t need a custom action for the notification. Could you check if the automation got teiggered? If yes can you share the trace log? You can simulate a leaving by setting the state of a person in dev tools from home to something else.

165

I dont know why, but now it works.
Custom commands didnt work, but I think I dont need them.
