Recipe - Except Scenario¶

Purpose¶

Skip notifications if its already being handled by a specific scenario

Implementation¶

Uses a Scenario condition. The list of scenarios applied to the notification is exposed as a template (Jinja2) variable, so can be used in tests.

Example Configuration¶

red_alert:
      alias: make a fuss for critical priority, unless its an unknown vehicle
      condition:
        condition: and
        conditions:
          - "{{notification_priority in ['critical']}}"
          - "{{'unknown_vehicle' not in applied_scenarios}}"

Variations¶

The applied scenario could be one explicitly referenced in the notify action data section or it could be one that is automatically enabled, for example based on date/time, occupancy, alarm state or similar.
