This Blueprint helps you send actionable notifications to your Android device, when a person enters a zone.
I use this to fire a notification when entering my home zone, asking if HA should open my garage door.
This is heavily based on Vorions blueprint for actionable notification for android: Link
Requirements
- Home Assistant app on your device
- A person with a device tracker (eg person.Martin where the person has an attached device tracker)
- a pre-defined zone
Notes
To add a tracker to a person, got to: Configuration → People → The person → Select “Pick device to track”.
To add a zone, got to: Configuration → Zones → click the “Add Zone”
configure High accuracy mode to only be enabled under special circumstances beneath on the same page.
If you set up your HA Companion app to use high precision location service, this will work more instantly. That way, it will report location data to HA apprx. every 5 seconds. This can be set to only be active under certain circumstances. Eg when connected to your cars Bluetooth.
To activate high precision location data, open the HA app on your android device, and go to: App Configuration → Sensors → Location sensor → High accuracy mode
You can add up to 3 actions, but all 3 are optional.
For each action, you can do something the same way as for an Automation or open a URL, an application on the device or load a Lovelace view/dashboard.
- If you plan to use a Lovelace view the format would be /lovelace/test where test is replaced by your defined path in the defined view.
- If you plan to use a Lovelace dashboard the format would be /lovelace-dashboard/view where /lovelace-dashboard/ is replaced by your defined dashboard URL and view is replaced by the defined path within that dashboard.
- To pick the application to open, prefix
app://to the the package name. How to find package name?
If the device does not have the application installed then the Home Assistant application will open to the default page.
If you define an action and an URI for a button, URI will take precedence over action.
