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.

brought in line with the standard notification facilities.

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”.

This is already possible, using a Notify Group.
