[Feature Request] Autogenerate Notifications

[Ltek]

Would be nice to have a single place to manage everything lock related, including Actionable Notifications.

Locks all have common use cases and user needs. It would be great to have these created in Keymaster using a common set of scenarios and actions we can all share/use.

some examples...

1. Notification sent to when a Valid door code is used -- listing the door code entity name

2. Notification sent to when an Invalid door code is used
   -- Actionable buttons : open Doorbell Cam Live View ; trigger security alarm ; Automation to send doorbell photo to email or sms

3. Notification sent to when an lock status Unknown or Lock Jammed
   -- Actionable buttons : trigger automation unlock/relock

This isn't able to be done as not everyone has the same notification setups.

From what I've read the devs are unifying Notification methods. There is the default 'normal' notification methodology which I'm using with HA Companion App. There are several blueprints using it, I've been using Entity State Notification (https://community.home-assistant.io/t/entity-state-notification) for most of my notifications. Was hoping Keymaster could help reduce a lot of work by creating a 'master' set of notifications in a single automation vs users needing to create a 5 or 6 automations for each lock.

Maybe mod the Entity State Notification blueprint to work with Keymaster, that would be great.... 1 blueprint per lock where each lock status change has a separate set of actions

KeyMaster emits events that you can then parse into notifications.

I understand that... what I'm suggesting is a 'unified' lock notification system in Keymaster. One place, one screen, all needed automations & notifications.

Keymaster could address lock management completely, but it doesnt... we still must use the core HA system to create a ton of automations, notifications ,etc ... all individually. This is tedious, and inefficient for creation and ongoing administration.

In other systems i've used, an Integration usually addresses all the needs/management needed for a given device type and/or situation. My last two automation systems had robust lock management. The last system had an integration that provided a simple table to fill in, like this...

Lock's Event Code -- notification to send -- devices to send notification to -- action (automation) to run

... this simple table covered 99% of all possible needs since it triggered activities no matter what the code was... error code, lock code, etc, etc

In the 3 weeks I've been learning and using HA, I've noticed many people sharing excellent 'point need' tools which make doing one or two things easier -- but most do not address a complete need.
