Dude thanks I was just on my way to add this to my homeassistant

[@KPeyanski]

Glad I could help

[@robert-georgianmartinescu5912]

Hello, do you have a way for an automation to do something if is not getting an answer. I try to send a message when my door is open and AC is on to turn off the ac or to skip it for 5 min, but if i don't answer to close it in "x" minute. thank you for response

[@KPeyanski]

One of the ways to achieve this is include a counter or boolean sensor inside the automation (you should create and invoke a simple HA script)

My nerd-friend is back!

[@KPeyanski]

Haha is that good or bad?

[@VWTesla]

Do you have any alert videos on using the Facebook Messenger integration? I send my wife an alert when I'm leaving work to her phone but often she would rather get it in Facebook messenger.

[@KPeyanski]

I think FB Messenger is not having inline keyboard option so you can't have buttons. Other than that you can add FB as a notify service and use it with the Home Assistant Alerts the same way as I'm describing in the video

@@KPeyanski The Facebook integration was a little difficult to follow (at least for me) so it might be an interesting video :)
