Problem: Webhook receives printer data perfectly, but dashboard card won't update to show the alerts.
What works:
✅ Webhook receives data
✅ Phone notifications
✅ Manual persistent_notification.create via Dev Tools
What doesn't work:
❌ Dashboard card stays at "All Systems OK" even when automation creates persistent notification
Automation:
yaml- service: persistent_notification.create
data: title: "🖨️ Printer Status" message: "{{ trigger.json.message }}" notification_id: "printer_status"
Dashboard Card:
yamltype: markdown content: | {% if states('persistent_notification.printer_status') == 'notifying' %} ⚠️ {{ state_attr('persistent_notification.printer_status', 'message') }} {% else %} ✅ All Systems OK {% endif %}
The persistent notification appears in HA's notification area when the automation runs, but the dashboard template doesn't recognize it. Any ideas why? 🤔
