Actionable Notifications not working 2021.5

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple
1

I’m just starting for the first time to get Actionable Notificaqtions to work. I updated to 2021.5.1 today as I saw that they will be working differently going forward.

I have the latest update of Home Assistant on the iOS device as well.

I am trying to get a simple test working through the Developer Tools and I cannot get the options to show show below the notification. Any pointers on what I’m doing wrong or how to troubleshoot further?

service: notify.mobile_app_work_iphone
data:
  message: Welcome home Work Test
  title: Hi
  data:
    actions:
      - action: GARAGE
        title: Open Garage Door
      - action: FRONT_DOOR
        title: Unlock Front Door
      - action: BACK_DOOR
        title: Unlock Back Door

Actions without categories requires iOS release 2021.5 which is not yet out, probably the beginning of next week. You can grab the latest beta if you want to try it out now.

I didn’t realize that when HA 2021.5 was released, the iOS app wasn’t also at 2021.5. Looking at my iOS version, you are indeed correct: 2021.4.1. I’ll wait until iOS updates to 2021.5+ and try again. Thanks.

Even with 2021.5 (update: same with 2021.5.2) and new App version, it isn’t working here. The push message only shows “actions loading” instead of the action button.

service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
data:
  message: Lore Ipsum
  data:
    actions:
      - action: TEST
        title: Testbutton 1

You may need to restart your phone after initially upgrading the app version. Something about iOS and this change makes it sometimes not pick up the app extension when upgrading initially.

O.k. Thanks. After restart the action is there. At the first time, it flickered back to “actions are loading” afterwards, but now it is stable displayed.

I do have the same problem on my Apple Watch

Do you have the Watch app installed? It is required for these dynamic actions. You can do this in the system Watch app.
