 * _blended water_: By mixing _incoming water_ and _fully desalinated water_ at a given ratio, the requested hardness is produced.
 
 A small example: Target of _blended water_ is 4dH, incoming 20dH. The BWT mixes now 20% of incoming water with 80% fully desalinated water: 0.2 * 20dH + 0.8 * 0dH = 4dH.
+
+#### How do I use error and warning codes in automations?
+
+Error and warning entities display translated, human-readable messages. For automations, you can access the raw error codes through entity attributes:
+
+```yaml
+automation:
+  - alias: "Alert on specific BWT error"
+    trigger:
+      - platform: state
+        entity_id: sensor.bwt_perla_errors
+    condition:
+      - condition: template
+        value_template: "{{ 'OFFLINE_MOTOR_1' in state_attr('sensor.bwt_perla_errors', 'error_codes') }}"
+    action:
+      - service: notify.mobile_app
+        data:
+          message: "BWT Perla: Motor 1 is offline!"
+```
+
+Similarly for warnings, use `state_attr('sensor.bwt_perla_warnings', 'warning_codes')`.
