Notify when thermostat loose power or get disconnected

[alkandery75]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an automation to notify when thermostat loose power or get disconnected or not available:

===============

metadata:

  name: Roof Thermostat

  description: When Thermostat Roof is not available, get a notification

automations:

  - starters:

      - type: device.state.OperationalState

        device: Thermostat Roof - Roof

        state: isOperational

        is: false

    actions:

      - type: home.command.Notification

        title: Notification

        body: Thermostat Roof is not available

===============

Unfortunately, I'm getting error:

===============

[device.state.OperationalState] is an unknown type name. Expected types: [time.schedule, device.state, device.event, device.state.AppSelector, device.state.ArmDisarm, device.state.Brightness, device.state.Channel, device.state.ColorSetting, device.state.Cook, device.state.Dock, device.state.EnergyStorage, device.state.FanSpeed, device.state.Fill, device.state.HumiditySetting, device.state.InputSelector, device.state.LightEffects, device.state.LockUnlock, device.state.MediaState, device.state.MotionDetection, device.state.OccupancySensing, device.state.Online, device.state.OnOff, device.state.OpenClose, device.state.Record, device.state.Rotation, device.state.RunCycle, device.state.SensorState, device.state.StartStop, device.state.TemperatureControl, device.state.TemperatureSetting, device.state.Timer, device.state.Volume, device.event.DoorbellPress, device.event.MotionDetection, device.event.PersonDetection, device.event.PackageDelivered, device.event.AnimalOtherDetection, device.event.FaceFamiliarDetection, device.event.FaceUnfamiliarDetection, device.event.MovingVehicleDetection, device.event.Sound, device.event.PersonTalking, assistant.event.OkGoogle, home.state.HomePresence, etc].

Please advise and help

Thanks for sharing.

Based on the error message, the issue is that device.state.OperationalState is not a valid device state type for automations. The test is explicitly telling you what types it does recognize, such as device.state.Online.

To fix this, you should change the trigger type in your automation to use a supported state that indicates the device's availability.

Try below script and let me know if it worked for you:

metadata:
name: Roof Thermostat
description: When Thermostat Roof is not available, get a notification
automations:
starters:
type: device.state.Online
device: Thermostat Roof - Roof
state: isOnline
is: false
actions:
type: home.command.Notification
title: Notification
body: Thermostat Roof is not available

Thanks for your help and support dear

It's accepted and correct now

Just one edit:

Instead of: state:

isOnline

Changed to: state:

Online

Since it gave me error with the first one 

Your time and efforts are highly appreciated 

Wish you a nice day
