Finally the difference between scripts and automations is clear to me. Thank you. Going to try these custom fields out. I’ve mainly been using scripts when I want them to automatically get discovered as scenes in Alexa.

Your content made me re-engage with my home automation after getting accustomed to so many glitches and nuisances and things that 'should work better but eh, it is good enough'. Sorting all of these out one by one not only made me enjoy all the smart things I have more, it also increased the wife acceptance factor by miles. Thank you so much for your work.

Great video as per usual!!! Keep them coming.

Got my Home Assistant Green today and screwing about with notifications was one of the first things I did. Managed to setup a script to send a custom message to the phones and the living room TV. Early days but I’m already impressed with the power and flexibility of HA.

Thank you for this vety usefull tutorial. I didnt not know using parameters in scripts was that easy.

You really inspired me. I created a script that allows the automation creator to select which of the family phones the notification should go to, and whether it should be a critical notification. Much appreciated.

Great video, more videos like this. Thank you, sir!

Thank you for going slowly, if I watch this a few times, I should be able to understand enough to accomplish what I wanted to do, which is check my home temperature to see if is hot or cold. If it is hot which for me is above 25C, and I have been away and am now 15Km from home, send the RF code that turns my portable air conditioner on. If it's cold which for me is below -20C, set the thermostat to 23. I learn much better thru audio and video due to a brain injury.. Reading and typing takes a lot more effort

Great video. Good explanation. I will be going to use this for sure. Thanks, Ed.

Fab, thank you. Used the phone notification script in 3 of my automations already. Great tips and I'm off to watch som more vidoes.

I do have to play with this on my system. It's time to do more than just switching lights and other equipment on and off 😀

Very helpful! I had an issue where this would have helped just this past week. I had notifications in my automations set to the wrong phone. Thanks!

This is so great. As someone who just had to update many many automations when I got a new phone, the script template is fantastic. One question: Any idea how we could add actionable notifications via the script with fields?

Great video again ! So useful ! Thanks a lot.

So I'm dizzy ;-), I translated first and will try the scripts and automations - Thanks! Once again you helped me a lot to understand more! "Get Notified And Respond Immediately Using Actionable Notifications in Home Assistant" was also a very good tutorial, I continue with “Mastering Scipts in Home Assistant”... greeting - Your work is simply great and important for understanding Home Assistant!

great content as always, thanks!

Use case for me was having multiple helper toggles changing at the same time :-) I use conditional cards a lot to free up dashboard space and only give relevant options and these rely on my helpers. On another note have you or anyone done a video on the different installation options and their Pros/Cons. I run a VM image but the HA instance is in a docker within that VM and I want to rebuild possibly in docker outside of that VM rather than on dedicated hardware because of the flexibility and not have to go through so many layers when it comes to USB devices i.e. Zigbee, Bluetooth, etc.

Thanks Ed let say this is lesson 1 i will wait the lesson 2 🥰
