Reset reminder

Use this action to reset a maintenance reminder on your hot tub, setting when the next reminder should trigger.

Using this action from the user interface

If you prefer building automations and scripts visually, Home Assistant walks you through this action step by step. You pick what to target, tweak a few options, and save. No YAML knowledge required.

To reset a reminder from an automation or a script:

1. Go to Settings > Automations & scenes.
2. Open an existing automation or script, or select Create automation > Create new automation.
3. If you’re setting up a new automation, add a trigger in the When section. Scripts don’t need a trigger. They run when something else calls them.
4. In the Then do section, select Add action.
5. From the search box, search for and select SmartTub: Reset a reminder.
6. Select what you want to control. Under By target (see Targets), select your hot tub’s reminder binary sensor.
7. Enter the number of Days until the next reminder.
8. Select Save.

Using this action in YAML

If you work directly in YAML, or you want to know exactly what Home Assistant does under the hood, this section has the technical reference. It lists the field names you use in YAML, their types, and which ones are required.

In YAML, refer to this action as smarttub.reset_reminder. A basic example looks like this:

action: smarttub.reset_reminder
target:
  entity_id: binary_sensor.jacuzzi_j_335_refresh_water_reminder
data:
  days: 180

This resets the reminder so it triggers again in 180 days.

Targets of the action

This action requires a target. The target is the object of the action. You can point the action at a single entityAn entity represents a sensor, actor, or function in Home Assistant. Entities are used to monitor physical properties or to control other entities. An entity is usually part of a device or a service. [Learn more], a device, an area, a floor, or a label, and Home Assistant will run the action on every matching binary_sensor entity behind that target.

• Entity: one specific binary_sensor entity, such as binary_sensor.living_room.
• Device: every binary_sensor entity that belongs to a device.
• Area: every binary_sensor entity in a room or area.
• Floor: every binary_sensor entity on a floor.
• Label: every binary_sensor entity that shares a label.

You can also select different target types in one action. For example, you can add a specific entity and an area as targets in the same action to run the action on both of them at once.
