Android Notify service fails if first entity if offline (times out)

Configuration
1

Hi all,

Recently I added another NVIDIA Shield TV to Home Assistan and got the ADB set up and everything works fine. What doesn’t work is my Notifications on the second NVIDIA Shield and in fact it doesn’t matter whether this is the second or the third and so on, but it is a matter of the sequence of my notification automation.

What happens is, if my Notification gets triggered, then it only fires the notification to the second Shield if my first Shield is Turned on. If both Shields are turned on it works fine. So it looks like the automation doesn’t proceed if there is a timeout on the first one.

Here is my Automation:

### Indkørsel Motion Sensor Notifikation m. billede ###

What am I missing here - how can I in an easy way let it continue or could I just add more entities in the first service somehow?

Fixed it by creating a group:

notify:
  - name: android_shields
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: shield1
      - service: shield2

I was not aware of the documentation and my searches didn’t bring me to this page.

Although it took me some time, I’m happy it got fixed :slight_smile:

Hi, I was having the same issue as you. However now I have made my group I can get it display the notification on the shields but not at the same time, only sequentially. So after the 30 seconds has passed it will display on the second shield for 30 seconds. Do you have the same result or do they show at the same time?

service: notify.shields_group
data:
  message: Doorbell has been pressed!
  title: Front Door
  data:
    duration: 30
    interupt: 1
    file:
      url: http://172.20.100.230/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/1/picture
      username: XXXX
      password: XXXX
      auth: digest

I did this:

notify:

  - name: android_shields
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: livingroom
      - service: bedroom

and then my automation (the action part):

- service: notify.android_shields
      data:
        message: "Who's there?"
        title: "Driveway"
        data:
          color: red
          duration: 10
          file:
            path: !secret notifikation_shield_driveway_image

Now I get it both if turned on at the same time.

Thanks for the response. It looks pretty similar to mine with the exception you are using the secret. Is your secret to a still image stored by HA or direct to the camera like I have? I wonder if HA wont open the second connection to the camera at the same time.

Could be! I take a snapshot of the camera and save it locally on my NUC which hosts the Home Assistant.
