Hi there! I’m trying the actionable notification on the iOS. But pressing the action buttons doesn’t do anything. I double checked the codes, and they all looked ok, but nothing is working when pressing the button.
I tried manually running the automation ios_notification_action_fired and they work, but not from button press in notification.
here is my ios.yaml:
push:
categories:
- name: Garage Door Timer
identifier: 'GARAGE_DOOR_TIMER'
actions:
- identifier: 'CLOSE_GARAGE_DOOR'
title: 'Close the Garage Door'
activationMode: 'background'
authenticationRequired: true
destructive: true
behavior: 'default'
- identifier: 'IGNORE_GARAGE_DOOR'
title: 'Leave it Open'
activationMode: 'background'
authenticationRequired: true
destructive: true
and my automation:
#Garage Door - Close When Left Open
- alias: Garage Door Timer
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_boolean.garage_door_switch
to: 'on'
for: '00:30:00'
condition: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.garage_door_switch', 'on') }}"
action:
service: notify.mobile_app_chris_iphone
data:
title: Home Automation Message
message: 'Garage Door was left open for 30 minutes. Close it?'
data:
push:
category: 'GARAGE_DOOR_TIMER'
#Garage Door - Timer Close Action
- alias: Garage Door - Timer Close Action
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: ios_notification_action_fired
event_data:
actionName: CLOSE_GARAGE_DOOR
#condition: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.garage_door_switch', 'off') }}"
action:
service: script.turn_on
entity_id: script.home_lights_script
#service: input_boolean.turn_off
#entity_id: input_boolean.garage_door_switch
mode: single
#Garage Door - Timer Ignore Action
- alias: Garage Door - Timer Ignore Action
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: ios_notification_action_fired
event_data:
actionName: IGNORE_GARAGE_DOOR
condition: "{{ is_state('input_boolean.garage_door_switch', 'on') }}"
action:
service: input_boolean.turn_on
entity_id: input_boolean.garage_door_switch
mode: single
I changed the service action in Garage Door - Timer Close Action to lights script to test it, but it’s not working (manual triggering it works).
I also noticed that the destructive doesn’t make the button text red?
- identifier: 'CLOSE_GARAGE_DOOR'
title: 'Close the Garage Door'
activationMode: 'background'
authenticationRequired: true
destructive: true
I think your problem is this:
A unique identifier for the category. Must be lowercase and have no special characters or spaces (underscores are ok).
From the docs on category parameters.
E.g. change
push:
categories:
- name: Garage Door Timer
identifier: 'GARAGE_DOOR_TIMER'
to
push:
categories:
- name: Garage Door Timer
identifier: 'garage_door_timer'
.
If this doesn’t fix it, also check that the notification categories exist under the mobile app’s settings.
I haven’t used the destructive option, unfortunately.
Hi! Thanks for responding. Actually my previous identifiers were originally in lower case, like garage_door_timer. I thought maybe changing it to uppercase would somehow make any difference. But I’ll switch it back to lowercase as stated.
I checked the notification settings on the app. I didn’t know about this settings.
Here’s the screenshots:
Do I need to change anything in the app settings? I can see the Garage Door Timer synced.
The destructive button is not really necessary. I just thought it’s a lot easier to see the message if it’s in red. But I wonder why it doesn’t make the text red.
I didn’t mention this explicitly but perhaps should’ve. It’s the lowercase identifier that should be referenced in the automation. Also change e.g.
category: 'GARAGE_DOOR_TIMER'
to
category: 'garage_door_timer'
.
If that doesn’t work, try to simplify and only specify identifier and title under your actions to see if that works?
I still can’t get it working. the destructive red text worked though. But not the buttons.
here’s my current ios.yaml:
push:
categories:
- name: Garage Door Timer
identifier: 'garage_door_timer'
actions:
- identifier: 'close_garage'
title: 'Close the Garage Door'
destructive: true
- identifier: 'ignore_garage'
title: 'Leave it Open'
destructive: false
this is the automation.

I think I got it. This should be:
event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
.

I updated the event type as ios.notification_action_fired, but I still can’t get the buttons work. I even restarted Home Assistant. It’s annoying that I can’t find which part I’m missing because there’s no error in the log.
I figured it out. I read from another thread that the actionName and identifier has to be both in uppercase or it will not work.
Here’s my ios.yaml:
push:
categories:
- name: Garage Door Timer
identifier: 'garage_door_timer'
actions:
- identifier: 'CLOSE_GARAGE'
title: 'Close the Garage Door'
destructive: true
- identifier: 'IGNORE_GARAGE'
title: 'Leave it Open'
destructive: false
and my automation:
