Actionable Notifications Aren't Showing on iPhone

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple

I’m stumped. Could someone help me work out why actionable notification buttons aren’t appearing on my iPhone please?

Here is the code:

ios:
  push:
    categories:
      - name: Car Alarm
        identifier: 'car_alarm'
        actions:
          - identifier: 'DISABLE_ALARM'
            title: 'Disable Car Notifications'
            activationMode: 'background'
            authenticationRequired: true
            destructive: true
            behavior: 'default'
          - identifier: 'ENABLE_ALARM'
            title: 'Enable Car Notifications'
            activationMode: 'background'
            authenticationRequired: true
            destructive: false
            behavior: 'default'

automation:
  - alias: 'test ios 2'
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id: binary_sensor.window_spare_sensor_s2_contact
        from: 'off'
        to: 'on'
    action:
      - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
        data:
          title: "Testing"
          message: "Test alarm message!"
          data:
            push:
              category: "car_alarm" 
            action_data:
              entity_id: input_boolean.car_disable_notification

  - alias: Disable Car Alarm
    trigger:
      - platform: event
        event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
        event_data:
          actionName: DISABLE_ALARM
    action:
      - service: input_boolean.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.car_disable_notification

Screenshots of the App settings, showing that I have imported the push configuration:

try this i just tested and is working and if you iphone supports 3d touch press on the notification to show the two actions if your iphone does not supports 3d touch i think you have to swap left or right i hope it helps

ios:
  push:
    categories:
      - name: Car Alarm
        identifier: 'car_alarm'
        actions:
          - identifier: 'DISABLE_ALARM'
            title: 'Disable Car Notifications'
            activationMode: 'background'
            authenticationRequired: true
            destructive: true
            behavior: 'default'
          - identifier: 'ENABLE_ALARM'
            title: 'Enable Car Notifications'
            activationMode: 'background'
            authenticationRequired: true
            destructive: false
            behavior: 'default'

    action:
      - service: input_boolean.turn_off
        entity_id: input_boolean.car_disable_notification

@kem thank you for your help and suggestion.

It’s certainly strange as I still can’t make the notification show any buttons, even after doing 3D Touch on the message and using the same code you tested above (though I couldn’t see any difference between the two?). I must be doing something else wrong. :thinking:

When you go in the in-app notification editor (the second screenshot in OP) towards the bottom right corner of the screen is an “eye” icon.

Tapping that sends a preview notification, and I’ve found that can sometimes get the buttons to show up initially. Maybe you could try that a few times and hopefully it works.
