So I’ve been able to cancel by adding a tag and then cancelling through use of the tag.
So, to find phone:
- service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_5
data:
message: Home Assistant
title: Home Assistant is finding your phone!
data:
ttl: 0
priority: high
channel: alarm_stream
tag: find-me
alias: Phone alarm rings on highest priority
If I remember well from my testing months ago, there are already answers in the current thread that cause Android to sound up, even if muted. Try them. I’m afraid I don’t remember which ones.
When I try this, I don’t get a new channel created within the companion app settings page. I’m using a Galaxy S20, and currently have the following channels:
General
High accuracy location
Persistent Connection
Persistent Connection Issues
SensorWorker
Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
alias: Find Nicks Phone
sequence:
- service: notify.mobile_app_galaxy_s20

data:

Hi all, been reading this and other threads and it seems like there’s 3 separate approaches to notifying on Android devices
using the HA app’s notify service
installing a tasker service on the target phone, triggering that to unmute
using Google’s own find-phone service
I for one would like to go with door number 3 as on my phone, having the phone set to silent or do not didsturb mode will override any notifications from the HA app. Also, I’ve experienced those notifications to sometime get delayed until the phone screen is turned turned on (not the phone itself obviously). Second, as for option 2, not a fan of having to maintain/configure another piece of software on the phone, essentially knowing that it’s possible on the OS level.
So, the question I’m asking, is there a programatic/API method to invoking the google find-my phone service?
I’ve tried that, and checking my My Google Activity, the assistant always responds with:
I found a few devices.
The first listed is your <exact name of device from request>.
Should I ring it?
Do you have any solution for that?
I’ve tried some prompt engineering (I know, this isn’t an LLM, but it was worth a try) like using “find and ring the device named”, but it insists on getting a confirmation.
I used something similar to the post above yours and it worked fine, except it rings in the opposite phone if what I ask it to ring on.
Perhaps there is a spelling issue?
Do you write exactly what she says as the model name?
I have example calls in my Activity Log where it requests confirmation for a device that’s written exactly as in my prompt, yeah.
But when you’re saying it rings “the opposite phone of what I ask it to ring”, then it doesn’t work for you, does it? Or I guess you’re saying, at least it rings without asking for confirmation.
I couldn’t engineer any working prompt which includes a device name. If I do, I always get a confirmation question, either “I found a few devices. The first listed is X. Should I ring it?” or “I can help by making X ring on full volume right away. Would you like me to do that?”
But if I don’t state a device, but only call it the “phone”, then it rings right away.
This also worked for me on S23 Ultra but I also had to set the ringer mode to normal by adding action to turn from silent to normal in the sequence. Full script I used below.
