Want to send push messages from devices with device name

[hallow flame]

HI.
Im pretty new 🙂
Im trying top make a automation that if my 2 ikea water sensor get wet they will sent me a push message. But i dont want to make a automation for both sensors 🙂
Can i somehow put the "device name" in the message that it is wet? Hope it makes sense 😉

You'll need to use a template. Something like {{ state_attr(trigger.to_state.entity_id, 'friendly_name') }} in the message.

Hi 🙂
Something like

Damn im not good at this 😄
alias: Test vand sensor
description: ""
triggers:

• type: moist
  device_id: dd852ab5c133e7e96d45165afedfc079
  entity_id: 753dbcc6f6f36e2498edf7fe6dd642cc
  domain: binary_sensor
  trigger: device
• type: moist
  device_id: aada74b15891636ecd27c7cb0d1d8674
  entity_id: dff7d5ed298a9cece61a670521c7405c
  domain: binary_sensor
  trigger: device
  conditions: []
  actions:
• action: notify.send_message
  title: "{{ state_attr(trigger.event.data.entity_id, 'friendly_name') }}"
  metadata: {}
  data: {}
  mode: single
  That dosent work

Hmm either this
actions:

• action: notify.send_message
  metadata: {}
  data:
  message: title: "{{ state_attr(trigger.event.data.entity_id, 'friendly_name') }}"
  mode: single

Ah, you're using device triggers. If you use entity triggers then putting the template in the message should work.

Hmm i get
string value is None for dictionary value @ data['message']
With
``alias: Test vand
description: ""
triggers:

• type: moist
  device_id: aada74b15891636ecd27c7cb0d1d8674
  entity_id: dff7d5ed298a9cece61a670521c7405c
  domain: binary_sensor
  trigger: device
  conditions: []
  actions:
• action: notify.mobile_app_daniels_s24
  metadata: {}
  data:
  message: null
  mode: single
  ``

huh? I removed my {{ state_attr(trigger.to_state.entity_id, 'friendly_name') }} in the message ?

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

{{ state_attr(trigger.to_state.entity_id, 'friendly_name') }}

[finite fern]

You need to use three of them around the big blocks 😉

[hallow flame]

Ahhh ddd

Okay the "message" should that contain " {{ state_attr(trigger.to_state.entity_id, 'friendly_name') }}" ? 🙂

[finite fern]

Yes, but you're still using a device trigger, not an entity trigger 🙂

[hallow flame]

Not sure what the diffrence is? It seems pretty complex to use a entity?

[finite fern]

Entities are actually much simpler. For example, I have a Netatmo climate sensor next to me. It's one device, but it has a temperature sensor, humidity sensor, CO2 sensor, and even a volume sensor. Each of those sensors are 1 entity.

[hallow flame]

Okay 🙂 But i cant find "is wet" now?

Sorry for the danish langugage 😉

Ouh sorry have to go to bed 😁

[hallow flame]

Any good ideas to get this to sende a message? 🙂
