Hey everyone, I’m diving into creating an automation rule in Home Assistant that I think could be really useful for many of us. The goal is to set up a system where if any water sensor detects moisture, it sends a notification every 5 minutes until the issue is resolved. This would be especially handy for monitoring multiple areas in the house, like basements, laundry rooms, or even outdoor spaces where water leaks could cause significant damage if unnoticed.
I’ve been experimenting with different approaches, but I keep running into issues with loops and delays. It seems like the rules either don’t trigger consistently or they cause unexpected slowdowns in the system. I’ve tried using basic conditional statements and even some advanced scripts, but nothing quite hits the mark yet.
One thing I’ve learned is the importance of proper error handling and ensuring that the notifications don’t become overwhelming. I want the system to be reliable but not annoying. Maybe there’s a way to implement a cooldown period or a way to track the state of the sensors more effectively.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has tackled a similar problem. Have you found a smooth way to set up recurring notifications based on sensor data? Any tips on structuring the rule to avoid performance issues would be greatly appreciated! Let’s brainstorm together and find the best approach to make this automation both efficient and user-friendly. 
If anyone has successfully implemented something like this, please share your setup. I’m open to trying different methods and would love to learn from your experiences. Let’s make our homes smarter and safer together!
