No sorry I don’t use iOS so I can’t test on my side 
But I use the standard notification method, so you can ask in a dedicated thread if you want. Otherwise if you find a blueprint where it works well, tell me, I will check it
Sorry, I meant ‘state’. When the state of the input_boolean is on before the notification time, the notification still happens. I would make the notification contingent on the input_boolean being off.
Thank you. I came here to comment on this exact problem. I see the notification on my phone and couldn’t act. If for some reason I caught the alert on my watch…all was good.
Figured it out. Long press on the IOS notification will get you options to respond.

Thank you for the blueprint. I like it. I wish it allowed me the following options though:
- If a light is being turned on, be able to set it to flashing.
- Upon taking the medication, perform another action (so I can turn the light off)
BTW, have anyone researched for a solution to notify if medicine was not actually taken today? Please do not propose to sort out onto 7 containers weekly… this also can be forgotten ))

With a check on the last updated time of the input_boolean you can do it
You can call a script in the optional_action
Does that mean the boolean flips when the user chooses “taken”?
Yes and reset to off when the blueprint starts
wait sorry for the confusion, so I should send a notification based of when it switches to off?
It becomes a complex action: A person should not only take the med but select and press it is taken… no no, not good. there would be technical solution to detect the med was not taken and send a notification. My only idea is to use some “smart scale” which reports weight of meds left within some period of time: if one table was taken the weight should be 1 gramm less by 09:00AM. But I could not find such scale yet…
Maybe there is some other solution.
The cheap weighing sensors from ebay or ali are good enough for this. 
They measure relatively exact values, and this use case isn’t critical for the values to be very exact.
Have you tried such a sensor in combination with an ESP?
of course you can check with a scale or something else, but this is no more related to this blueprint 
the most accurate load cell offers 0 - 100g range… it is not enough for this case. that is the issue
Yes, sure. Just thought it is close topic and still take attention of very tiny group of people.
True, I’ll just leave a short answer and get back to topic. 
But you won’t need to weigh the tablets themself, you just have to weigh the difference. The sensors are exact enough, to mark differences, no matter how much weight this is in total. I tried with one of mine, and it can detect differences that are quite small, where it is def. not working to measure an exact weight (2.5kg off).
If this interests you (and maybe others), open a new thread, could be an interesting discussion. If you do so, please mention me with @paddy0174.
Hello,
I use this blueprint but i dont receive any message on my phone ?
I dont understand why is not working
All is ok in my configuration
Can you help me please ?
Thanks in advance
You’ll need to show the automation config and/or the step details of the notification action. MIght also upload the trace (the down arrow button near the top)
Hi @Mati24
I’ve been using this for a bit, and have set up 4 instances for various meds i take (and one for my dog). However, when I mark one as taken it marks others as taken too. Right now, I only selected one, and 3 of the 4 booleans are now ‘true’…all the morning ones. The evening one is still false. Attached are traces of two of them (Flonase is the one i responded to)
Traces:

Meds automation
Hopefully you can help me figure out what’s going on.
Thanks in advance
