Hello, I need help to create an automation that sends a reminder notification when the temperature outside gets hotter than inside and then another when it is cooler outside

I'm using National Weather Service for outside temp and my ecobee thermostat as my indoor temp sensor

Make a template binary sensor for inside > outside
Add a state trigger using the template sensor and it will trigger when it changes to trigger your automation

In addition to this I'd recommend to use a temperature sensor outside

Like this for the binary sensor value?

{{ states('sensor.kpwk_temperature') | float > states('sensor.thermostat_current_temperature') | float }}

Yup

How can I make it for summer months only?

I did it like this:

  - condition: template
    value_template: "{{ now().month in [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] }}"```
