Sorry maybe this is not the right topic but is it possible to make a rule if temperature outside is lower than inside than send a push notification. It cant be done with the app…

[image] Flrdb: I’ve an outside temperature sensor so thats not a problem. But can you give me an example of the rule that compares two sensors with each other? If you look at the structure of Rules you can see that comparisons have a left and a right. @mrfitz98 has shown one where the left is…

Not sure if you need an outside sensor, although it would be more accurate for sure, but the rule can compare values of temperatures, which can trigger a virtual switch to have an Alexa notification.

You can use the location/temperature as a comparison… { "lessThan": { "left": { "location": { "attribute": "TemperatureF" } …

Thank you all for the explanation. I’ll try this tomorrow!
