Automating Home Assistant
When your devices are set up, it’s time to put the cherry on the pie: automation. Home Assistant offers a few built-in automations – but you’ll be using the automation component to set up your own rules, for the most part.
If you added a random sensor in the previous step then you can use that sensor for your very first automation:
automation:
- alias: Check sensor value and show notification
trigger:
platform: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.random_sensor
above: 10
action:
service: persistent_notification.create
data:
message: "Sensor value greater than 10"
