Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of home automation and have come across an exciting challenge that I thought I’d share with you all. I’m trying to set up an automation that sends a customized notification based on the state of my alarm system. The goal is to replace the default state messages with some Dutch words, making the notifications more personal and easier to understand for my family.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far: I’ve created an automation that triggers when the alarm system changes state. The notification is supposed to display the previous and new states in Dutch, along with who triggered the change. The automation works, but there’s a catch—the state replacements aren’t showing up as expected. Only the last part of the message, which includes the person who triggered the change, appears correctly.
I’ve checked the state variables, and they seem to be correct. I’m using conditional statements to replace the states, but it looks like something might be off with how the template is processed. I’m not entirely sure if the syntax is correct or if there’s a limitation I’m not aware of.
I’d love to hear if anyone else has tackled a similar issue or has some tips on how to get the state replacements working properly. It would be awesome to see this automation up and running smoothly, providing clear and concise notifications for everyone in the house. Let me know your thoughts or if you’ve encountered something similar before!
