Hi all,
Sorry if this seems obvious but I am running around in circles, reading through posts of people looking at similar things, yet I can’t get anything to work here. I am looking for an elegant and simple solution, here’s my problem:
Basically I have an automation that opens my gate when I get inside the defined zone. However, at times the phone is a little slow to update location, and I end up having to open my gate with the old remote. I’ll drive in, close the gate, and then on occasion the automation will then finally be triggered, re-opening the gate…
I’ve been looking to add a condition to the automation : I need to make sure the gate status (open/close) has not been changed in the last 10min for the automation to continue.
I’ve tried helpers, I’ve tried a template (within template.yaml?) ; I’ve tried getting time/date… So far all failed miserably. “Gate status” does not have a “last_triggered” parameter.
What’s the simplest way to solve this?
Thank you for any input you may have.
