Anyway to notify a notification group?

@sandwormzz

Welcome to the community.

Nope, currently you have to add them in separately.

Hi Blacky. This is the Blueprint I was looking for. Your Blueprints are incredible. I use most of them with no issues. Are you able to change the default IOS notification sound with this alert? I don’t see where or how to do that.

@Moe1

Thanks for the heads up as I haven’t added it to this blueprint yet. I will update it now… once updated you will have the option to change the sound for IOS.

Followed your instructions on how to import the custom WAV file and it worked like a charm. This Blueprint can be used in so many ways. I would think it would be in everyone’s wheelhouse. Thanks again for your time and efforts!

New Update 1.3

State your trigger and spread the word :speech_balloon: :sound:

:apple: New Feature For iOS

  • Notification Sound - The Home Assistant app for iOS includes built-in notification sounds, and you can import sounds from your iOS device into the app. Custom sounds can also be added via iTunes or from your cloud storage.

For more information on using sounds in the Home Assistant app, click here.

Maintenance :toolbox:

  • From time to time, Home Assistant updates their YAML standards and coding practices. To align with their roadmap, we’ve updated the code accordingly. We will continue to apply these updates across all our blueprints as they are revised.

Works Great!!!

THANKS!!!

@Blacky can you add the ability to show the date and time in the Alert message?

ie The door was opened at {date} {time}

would be nice to know the exact time of the alert happened.

Hi Andy

Sure depending on what you would like.


# This give you time 12 hr format
{{ now().strftime('%I:%M:%S %p').lstrip('0') }}

# This give you time 24 hr format
{{ now().strftime('%H:%M:%S') }}

# This gives you date - change year, month and day to suit you.
{{ now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d') }}

@Blacky thanks that worked ok, another suggestion, Can you add the ability to perform an action on tapping on the mobile notification, i.e. open a dashboard (the room)

@andyblac

Have you looked at :round_pushpin: State Notifications & Actions

Thanks for the blueprint ill transfer some love by paypal, i really liked the blueprint for the lights with night glow etc :slight_smile:

Just an idea, i used to have a telegram notification option which i used to sent a picture of my cam when the doorbel was press.
Also when the mailbox was opened.

Maybe an option to let a cam make a screenshot and then add this screenshot to the notification on the HA app.

edit: btw where is ur paypal link, im sure i just seen it ?

Edit: found it :slight_smile:

great, thanks, i do have the script somewhere that i used for it but it was “hard coded” for in telegram , the problem i found was that the images are deleted in HA notifications and telegram they could be seen and stay there.

But there probably will be another way to be able to scroll trough the latest captures in HA if thats needed.

Could be a nice addition that u can see who done what.

edit: i just used the notification on mediaplayers, could be a nice option to set the volume before it gives a notice, if possble and then revert back to the old volume or something.

Very nice blueprint!

A question on playing TTS on the phone instead of a notificatin: This post shows how to do it:

- service: notify.mobile_app_<here-your-mobile>
      data:
        message: "TTS"
        data:
          ttl: 0
          priority: high
          media_stream: alarm_stream
          tts_text: "Test text"

Is there a way to get this Blueprint to do this, in addition to sending the notification message?

@iotisunderrated

Yep you just add a custom action. This only works for android.

Blacky :smiley:

72

Thank you for the response! Hmm, I’m not seeing a “custom action” anywhere in the blueprint or in the menus. Am I looking at the wrong place?

73

@iotisunderrated

O yes… I forgot to update it.

It has been done now, update your blueprint and you will see the custom action.

Blacky :smiley:

New Update 1.4

State your trigger and spread the word :speech_balloon: :sound:

New Feature :new:

  • Custom Action - You can now add any custom action you like.
