Automation:
`trigger: state
entity_id:
Event:
event_types: error_during_washing, washing_is_complete event_type: washing_is_complete friendly_name: Washer Notification
As shown in screenshot, the event is basically the same every time just with different timestamp. I suspect that's what caused the automation to fail to trigger. Is there any way I can have the automation fire with event like this?

That's just how event entities work. Their states state is a timestamp of the last time it fired

oh ok. but the automation didn't fire
nocturne gazelle
Actually, if the attribute didn't change value, then it won't fire
If you want to do something every time the event fires with that event type, remove the to: and attribute: lines and use a condition to check the event type

Should I be using the event trigger instead? I just found it
trigger: event event_type: washing_is_complete
nocturne gazelle
You can use that too
