When using the `alert` component, it is important that the time zone used for Home Assistant and the underlying operating system match. Failing to do so may result in multiple alerts being sent at the same time (such as when Home Assistant is set to the `America/Detroit` time zone but the operating system uses `UTC`).

However, every 30 minutes, a notification will be delivered until either `input_boolean.garage_door` no longer has a state of `on` or until the alert is acknowledged using the Home Assistant frontend.

### {% linkable_title Complex Alert Criteria %}
By design, the `alert` component only handles very simple criteria for firing. That is, it only checks if a single entity's state is equal to a value. At some point, it may be desirable to have an alert with a more complex criteria. Possibly, when a battery percentage falls below a threshold. Maybe you want to disable the alert on certain days. Maybe the alert firing should depend on more than one input. For all of these situations, it is best to use the alert in conjunction with a `Template Binary Sensor`. The following example does that.

opening sensors will send a signal each time the door/window is open or closed.
However, depending on their hardware or on their purpose,
some sensors are only able to signal their "on" state:
- Most motion sensors send a signal each time they detect motion. They stay "on" for a few seconds and go back to sleep, ready to signal other motion events. Usually, they do not send a signal when they go back to sleep.
- Most motion sensors send a signal each time they detect motion. They stay "on" for a few seconds and go back to sleep, ready to signal other motion events. Usually, they do not send a signal when they go back to sleep.
- Some doorbells may also only send "on" signals when their toggle switch is pressed, but no "off" signal when the switch is released.
For those devices, use the *off_delay* parameter. It defines a delay after which a device will go back to an "Off" state. That "Off" state will be fired internally by Home Assistant, just as if the device fired it by itself. If a motion sensor can only send signals once every 5 seconds, sets the *off_delay* parameter to *seconds: 5*.

The `trend` platform allows you to create sensors which show the trend of numeric `state` or`state_attributes` from other entities. This sensor requires at least two updates of the underlying sensor to establish a trend. Thus it can take some time to show an accurate state. It can be useful as part of automations, where you want to base an action on a trend.

products and insert these as devices in Home Assistant.
To disable this set auto_setup to false. See the individual device types for a
list of IHC products to be recognized automatically.
Components will get a default name that is a combination of the IHC group and IHC resource id.
If you want to change the display names use the [Customizing entities](/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/)

### {% linkable_title Manual setup %}
Each device is associated with an IHC resource id.
To manually setup components you specify resource ids from the IHC project.
(The IHC project is the file you edit/upload to the IHC Controller using LK IHC Visual - or similar program if your controller is not the LK brand).
The project file is an XML file and you can view it with any text/XML editor.
You can rename it to have the XML extension and use a browser like Chrome or Internet Explorer.
The resources are the \<airlink_xxx> or \<dataline_xxx> eleements.
Shown as inputs or outputs of products in the IHC application.
You can also use inputs and outputs from function blocks.
These are the \<resource_input> and \<resource_output> elements from the project file.

A note on `friendly_name`:
When set, the `friendly_name` had been previously used for API calls and backend configuration instead of the `object_id` ("identifier"), but [this behavior is changing](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/4343) to make the `friendly_name` for display purposes only. This allows users to set an `identifier` that emphasizes uniqueness and predictability for API and config purposes but have a prettier `friendly_name` still show up in the UI. As an additional benefit, if a user wanted to change the `friendly_name` / display name (e.g., from "Kitchen Lightswitch" to "Kitchen Switch" or "Living Room Light", or remove the `friendly_name` altogether), he or she could do so without needing to change existing automations or API calls. See aREST device below for an example.

Given this example, in the UI one would see the `friendly_name` of "Kitchen Light". However, the `identifier` is `arest_pin_four`, making the `entity_id` `switch.arest_pin_four`, which is what one would use in [`automation`](/components/automation/) or in [API calls](/developers/).
