The automation editor is an easy way of creating and editing automations from the UI.
|
||||
|
||||
This page uses the [Random sensor](/integrations/random#sensor) as an example, though any other sensor with a numeric value can be used as well.
|
||||
This tutorial uses the [Random sensor](/integrations/random#sensor) because it generates data (by default, values between 0 and 20). This enables us to walk through the example, even if you do not have any actual sensors connected yet. You could use any other sensor that outputs a numeric value.
|
||||
|
||||
From the UI, choose **{% my config %}** which is located in the sidebar, then click on **{% my automations %}** to go to the automation editor. Press the **Create Automation** button in the lower right corner to get started. You can create an automation based on a [blueprint](/docs/automation/using_blueprints/) or start from scratch. Select **Create new automation**.
|
||||
1. Go to {% my automations title="**Settings** > **Automations & scenes**" %} and in the lower right corner, select the **Create Automation** button.
|
||||
2. Select **Create new automation**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Click on the **Add Trigger** button and select **Numeric state**.
|
||||
3. Select **Add Trigger**, and in the **Search trigger** field, type "num".
|
||||
- Select **Numeric state**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
If the value of the sensor is greater than 10, then the automation should trigger.
|
||||
4. Enter the trigger conditions:
|
||||
- Define the sensor: Under **Entity**, enter "sensor.random_sensor".
|
||||
- If the sensor value is above 10, we want the automation to trigger.
|
||||
- In the **Above**, field, enter "10".
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Click on the **Add Action** button and select **Call service**.
|
||||
5. Define the action that should happen:
|
||||
- In the **Then do** section, select **Add Action**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
The action for this automation creates a [persistent notification](/integrations/persistent_notification/).
|
||||
6. Select **Call service**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
As the message we want a simple text that is shown as part of the notification.
|
||||
7. We want to create a [persistent notification](/integrations/persistent_notification/).
|
||||
- Enter "Persist" and select **Persistent notification: Create**.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
message: Sensor value greater than 10
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Press the **Save** button, and the save dialogue will appear. Give your automation a meaningful name and press the **Save** button again.
|
||||
8. As the message, we want a simple text that is shown as part of the notification.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
message: Sensor value greater than 10
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Automations created or edited via the user interface are activated immediately after saving the automation. Read the documentation for [Automating Home Assistant](/getting-started/automation/) to learn more about automations.
|
||||
9. Select **Save**, give your automation a meaningful name, and **Save** again.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- **Result**: Automations created or edited via the user interface are activated immediately after saving the automation.
|
||||
- To learn more about automations, read the documentation for [Automating Home Assistant](/getting-started/automation/).
