Alarm_stream only vibrating

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

Hello,

I have a automation to notifiy me about someone being at the door. This automation has always worked great, but now it is not loud anymore its just vibrating. I am on Android 15 Beta QPR2 and my media settings are everything loud except notifications. This can be seen in this picture.

This is the automation:

  alias: Klingel
  description: Klingel aktiviert eine notification am handy
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
    - binary_sensor.klingel_channel_1_input
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_pixel_6
    data:
      message: Es ist jemand an der Tür
      title: Ding Dong!
      data:
        ttl: 0
        priority: high
        channel: alarm_stream
        actions:
        - action: DOOR_OPEN
          title: Tür öffnen
  mode: single

Does anyone know why the alarm_stream is just silent now? Is this a bug with android or home assistant?

Greetings

try checking the channel properties maybe the sound changed somehow? that is not app controlled, the app can only create it once and set the sound as the default alarm stream and after that we have no control of it.

Okay thanks for the info but that’s a bummer.

so what happened was the sound removed? were not done troubleshooting yet actually :slight_smile:

if you are unsure how to check the channel properties

from the app: Settings > companion app > notification channels > edit alarm_stream

from that screen check the sound provided

No there everything is still assigned and “loud”. I think with a new update of android, the alarm_stream now gets recognised as a notification and before it was an alarm I think. I got everything loud except notifications (like before) and if I turn up the notifications sounds the door bell alarm is like before.

just tested on my Pixel 9 Pro XL on android 15 and alarm stream and sound went off as expected.

action: notify.mobile_app_dannys_pixel_9_pro_xl
data:
  message: test2
  data:
    channel: alarm_stream
    ttl: 0
    priority: high

do you have a default alarm set in the alarm app?

if you do then try the start fresh steps as they are required to delete all data in the channel:

if you dont want to start fresh, then it very well may be a beta bug that needs to be reported to google. You are on teh beta builds so you should be reporting issues :slight_smile: I am not on the beta builds personally.
