Comment on Home Assistant Automation for freezing warnings

Nice, this is one of those automations that pays for itself the first winter. Two small things that might make it nicer to live with:
The loop with the namespace can be a one-liner, and you can limit it to the next couple of days so a cold snap six days out doesn’t nag you every morning all week:
{{ (daily['weather.forecast_home'].forecast[:2] | map(attribute='templow') | min) < minTemp }}
And to stop repeat alerts once you’ve actually done the work, pair it with an input_boolean like outdoor_water_winterized: add it as a condition (only notify when off), send the notification with an actionable button (“Done”) from the companion app, and have the button event flip the boolean on. Then a second automation turns it back off when the forecast lows climb above, say, 8 °C for a few days in spring. That also covers curbstickle’s point if you ever add more taps, one boolean per tap.

That is a sexy loop. I need the heads up 6 days in advance so I am gonna leave it without the index. Gonna update the Post with my current solution.
