Actionable notification not working on iPhone

Configuration
,
1

Hi, I have read through the docs on creating actionable notifications here and have done all steps. In spite of this I am not able to see the button on my notification. It simply continues to show the notification as a basic one. Can somebody point out what am I missing here?
My configurations:

ios:
  actions:
    - name: ALARM
      background_color: "#000000"
      label:
        text: "Alarm"
        color: "#ff0000"
      icon:
        icon: alarm
        color: "#ffffff"

I can see the above action in my app configuration properly.
My automation which sends me the notification

alias: Notify I am away from home - iOS
description: Notifies when I go out of my home
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: person.vijay
    from: home
    to: not_home
    for:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 0
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_iphonexr_vijay
    data:
      message: You are going away from your home
      title: Away from home
      data:
        actions:
          - action: ALARM
            title: Enable alarm
mode: single

Something has happened with actionable notifications on IOS15 that has stopped the notification from putting up the choices. I don’t know if this is fixable in the HA app or if Apple took it away.

oh that’s disappointing!

I spent a bit of time messing with it and I got it to work.

  1. I was using the older “categories” method for my test, which has been depreciated.

  2. The example works, but does not mention that you have to “long press” on the notification for the choices to come up. Here’s what it looked like when I did:

oh wow! Thanks , I also tried a long press and I can see the button now. Thanks buddy you saved me a lot of effort. But this seems pretty bad UX flow from iPhone. Why would they add this extra step !!

Apple will Apple. :wink:

I am stuck at the next step now :frowning_face: I am not able to call back an automation as a result of clicking of the button. Can you help me further on this? Below is the automation which listens for this action and toggles a light.

alias: Enable Alarm Action
description: Enables the alarm
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: ios.action_fired
    event_data:
      actionName: ALARM
condition: []
action:
  - service: switch.toggle
    target:
      entity_id: switch.study_light
mode: single

Your event type is wrong
Should be

ios.notification_action_fired

oh thanks for pointing that out. I think I copied this from an example somewhere , must have changed. Many thanks buddy!

The solution for showing the action buttons with a “long press” does not work on my iphone13. The notification message and title show but I can do nothing after that. My code generated from the Automations UI looks like this.

  • id: ‘1642376820933’
    alias: Garage Notification
    description: ‘’
    trigger:
    • platform: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.test
      condition:
      action:
    • service: notify.mobile_app_iphone13promax
      data:
      message: Garage Door open
      title: Garage Door Status
      data:
      action: CLOSE_DOOR
      title: Close Door
    • wait_for_trigger:
      • platform: event
        event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
        event_data:
        action: CLOSE_DOOR
        timeout: 00:01:00
        continue_on_timeout: false
    • service: notify.mobile_app_iphone13promax
      data:
      message: Door was closed
      title: Door notification
      mode: single

Even the long press for me does not reveal the action buttons. WTF?
