I have a vibration sensor on my dryer. I want to setup a notification when the sensor goes from detected to clear but only if vibrations was detected for longer than 10 minutes.

theres various ways of doing it but an easy way would be use

automation trigger - vibration detected for 10mins
automation action - wait for trigger (vibration goes clear)
2nd automation action - notification

this means the automation will start when its been detected for 10 minutes then sit and wait for it to go clear to send the notification. I would also recomend that you set the automation mode to restart too in case it gets stuck at some point.

Hey! I would like to so pretty much the same. However, I want to get a notification from Alexa Echo Dot. I just started with home assistant. Could anyone please suggest a thread here explaining how to link echo dot with HA (free version)?

#

I would also like to use Echo to turn on/off lights, tv…etc.

#

Thanks!

look at getting HACS which allows you to get alexa media player and then you can look up how to use that to get where your wanting to go

ah ok thanks a lot! (thought it was home assistant cloud subscripton or similar)

#

I've also heard about Emulated Hue - that might be a better solution I think for me what I need

Emulated Hue is a much older solution and, in my experience, doesn't work all too well anymore

#

There's a addon called Matterbridge that exposes Home Assistant devices/entities as Matter devices, which accomplishes the same goal

#

Could go with Matterbridge if you want to handle the notifications purely in Alexa, or you could go with Alexa Media Player if you want to keep all of the logic in Home Assistant

#

I'd personally suggest AMP for that consolidation
