Action notify.send_message to Mobile devices

[r.t.s (Richard T Schaefer)]

I would like to be able to send a notification to multiple mobile devices.
It would be nice if the the mobil_device could add a notifier entity that can be used by the notify.send_message action.
All of the notify.moble_app_{{DeviceName}} services actions should be deprecated and
brought in line with the standard notification facilities.
We should be able to do TTS via notify.send_message to multiple mobile devices.

As I understand it, this is currently being worked on… but there are nearly 70 notification integrations which have a variety of data schema that need to be taken into account.

Since the only notifiers that have been ported to entities are those that are message-only, the current method using the notify platform is the de facto “standard”.

TTS to multiple mobile devices is already possible, using a Notify Group.
