I'd like to create a notify group to use in automations that changes dynamically for the current people in a zone. I don't want HA to be spamming the families' phones when they're not at home.
I'd like to use this for notifications when the washer, dryer, dishwasher finish, or if someone left the freezer door opened and the temperature raised by more than so many degrees, etc.
What is the best approach to accomplish this?

The zone should have an attribute with a list of the persons in it. I'm not sure the exact syntax to pull that out though and do what you want but it should be possible.

like so :
{{ state_attr('zone.home', 'persons') }}
That's exactly what I was trying to find. I was bumbling around in the template editor with it.

but I think it needs a bit more to work
cause the person.name that it returns doesn't have a notify thingy by default
but that can be fixed with some yaml in configuration.yaml...
like this as an example https://community.home-assistant.io/t/notify-alert-only-people-present-in-the-house-howto/277736/8

like so :
```yaml
{{ state_attr('zone.home', 'persons') }}
```
Quck side question. Is there an easy place to see what that evaluates to or is looking in the Developer tools and then States the best way?

When I put that in there I just get null or None even though when I check the States it shows my person in the zone.

Ya. I wasn't sure if I needed to wrap it in some logic to make it display.

I was thinking it would somehow be a drill down from zone -> persons -> devices -> mobile...

Notify actions or entities are not tied to a person entity. You'd need to create some mapping in the automation
