Alerts with Mobile notifications

Configuration

1

Hello,

Currently – I have an automation that sends me a mobile notification when the garage door is opened for 10 minutes.

I would like to get repeated notifications, and I think I should use ‘alert’ instead of automation.

I’m not sure how to specify the mobile notification inside the alert.

This is the code of the ‘action’ section that currently works perfectly in my automation:

service: notify.tal_adi
data:
  message: Garage door is open
  data:
    ttl: 0
    priority: high
    channel: alarm_stream

This is how ‘tal_adi’ is configured (in the configuration.xml):

notify:
  - name: Tal_Adi
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: mobile_app_m2101k6g
      - service: mobile_app_redmi_note_9_pro

I’m trying to use the ‘Alert’ example code, but I do not know how to integrate the mobile notification. What should I use as the notifier?

alert:
  garage_door:
    name: Garage is open
    done_message: Garage is closed
    entity_id: input_boolean.garage_door
    state: "on"
    repeat: 30
    can_acknowledge: true
    skip_first: true
    notifiers:
      - tal_adi

Thank you,
Tal.

The following is my config for a simillar use case which may help …

alert:
  front_door_open:
    name: "Front Door Open"
    title: "Information - Front door open for excessive time at {{ states('sensor.time') }}"
    message: "Check that the front door is properly closed."
    entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door_open
    state: 'on'
    repeat: 60
    can_acknowledge: true
    skip_first: false
    notifiers:
      - info_group

This is the associated notify group:

notify:
  - name: info_group
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: mobile_app_sm_g970f

I have different groups setup for Information/Warning/Alert which represents the severity of the problem and is pre-fixed in the message title. A warning would be a system fault and an alert message would be something major like a water leak or the intruder alarm being activated.

You can add additional services to the nofity group e.g.

      - service: persistent_notification

You can also add other notifer groups like email, Telegram etc.

Thank you so much for your reply.
This is working, but can you please tell me when can I add this:

data:
    ttl: 0
    priority: high
    channel: alarm_stream

Hi, I think these are optional fields that you can include for Android notifications and this goes indented below the service: keyword as shown below:

notify:
  - name: alert_group
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: mobile_app_sm_g970f
        data:
          ttl: 0
          priority: high
          color: red
          channel: Alert
