I have a similar automation setup to notify when the AC is running while the temperature is cooler outside. You could create an automation with a time based trigger (run every 5 mins) with a value template in the Conditions (along with any other conditions like only in the daytime, if blinds are open, etc):
{{ states('sensor.thermostat_current_temperature')|float>state_attr('weather.home', 'temperature')|float }}
And then in Actions: call service - Notifications: send via mobile app
Mine only differs in that it triggers based off the AC turning on.
