Notification Template

[wieluk]

I made this automation to notify me whenever a store I like has new items. I am just curious if you have a better way of doing it instead of listing all entity_id's. If not I just wanted to share because I would have liked a template :).

simple yaml for notification

alias: tgtg notify
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.long
      - sensor.list
      - sensor.of
      - sensor.all
      - sensor.tgtg
      - sensor.stores

condition:
  #send notification only if stock changes from (0 or unavailable) to >=1
  - condition: template
    value_template: >-
      {{ trigger.to_state.state | float >= 1  and (trigger.from_state.state |
      float == 0 or trigger.from_state.state == "unavailable" )}}

action:
  #change notification method
  - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
    data_template:
      message: '''{{ trigger.from_state.attributes.friendly_name }}'''
mode: parallel
max: 10

Iphone with deleting messages

This one is for Iphone if you want to delete messages if stock is back to 0

alias: tgtg notify
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.long
      - sensor.list
      - sensor.of
      - sensor.all
      - sensor.tgtg
      - sensor.stores
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.state | float >= 1 }}'
          - condition: template
            value_template: >-
              {{ trigger.from_state.state | float == 0 or
              trigger.from_state.state == "unavailable" }}
        sequence:
            #change notification method
          - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
            data_template:
              message: '''{{ trigger.from_state.attributes.friendly_name }}'''
              data:
                tag: '''{{ trigger.from_state.attributes.friendly_name }}'''
    default: []

#delete notification if stock changes back to 0
  - choose: 
      - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.state | float == 0 }}'
        sequence:
          - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
            data:
              message: clear_notification
              data:
                tag: '''{{ trigger.from_state.attributes.friendly_name }}'''
    default: []
mode: parallel
max: 10

I changed to android and I updated the yaml automation a little bit to also open the app tgtg app if i click on the notification.

Android yaml

alias: tgtg notify

  entity_id:
    - sensor.long
    - sensor.list
    - sensor.of
    - sensor.all
    - sensor.tgtg
    - sensor.stores

#only trigger when I am in my hometown
condition:
- condition: numeric_state
  entity_id: proximity.home
  below: '30000'

action:

    - conditions:
        - condition: template
          value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.state | float >= 1 }}'
        - condition: template
          value_template: >-
            {{ trigger.from_state.state | float == 0 or
            trigger.from_state.state == "unavailable" }}
      sequence:

            data:

@wieluk
Thanks for the nice notification template.
Sorry to say, but there is a typo/syntax error in it (at the iPhone part).
After modifying it, the notification works great for me.
Sorry for the bad formatting. I don't know how to do it better without creating an issue for it.

alias: tgtg notify
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.long
      - sensor.list
      - sensor.of
      - sensor.all
      - sensor.tgtg
      - sensor.stores
action:
  - choose:
      - conditions:
          - condition: template
            value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.state | float >= 1 }}'
          - condition: template
            value_template: >-
              {{ trigger.from_state.state | float == 0 or
              trigger.from_state.state == "unavailable" }}
        sequence:
            #change notification method
          - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
            data_template:

Hello all,
I am trying to use this setting for notifications, but I am getting the following error:

Error: Error rendering data template: UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'from_state'

Does anyone know what can happen?

[wieluk]

@linux-guru-com thanks i changed it in the post.
@AtomikWiWa I am not sure what the problem is. Did you use your tgtg sensors?

I just saw the senors have new attributes like price and collection time. I will try to add these to the notification.

[frankm000]

anything new here? i tried troubleshooting this for couple of hours but didnt found the issue.

[wieluk]

For me it still works. What is your problem? What does not work?

[blowk]

Do you need to set all sensors

      - sensor.long
      - sensor.list
      - sensor.of
      - sensor.all
      - sensor.tgtg
      - sensor.stores

or only ?
- sensor.tgtg

[wieluk]

Yeah unfortunately every single sensor. When I tried sensor.tgtg* it did not work maybe they changed something about it

[blowk]

So the full code should be or do I need anythin else to make it work?

alias: tgtg notify
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.tgtg_shop_one
      - sensor.tgtg_shop_two
      - sensor.tgtg_shop_three
      - sensor.tgtg_shop_four
      - sensor.tgtg_shop_five
      - sensor.tgtg_shop_six

[wieluk]

Yeah but you need to change

service: notify.mobile_app_android

To your notifier on both lines.

[blowk]

Ok, thanks. I will try this and adjust the code.
