I noticed a lot of people having problems getting this to work, so I thought I would post my project that was successful and turned out really well. I installed Android TV Notification on both my TV and Home Assistant, and then created an automation that checks the status of the garage doors and then posts the following notification on the TV:

service: notify.android_tv
data:
  message: >-
    The Van Door is {% if is_state('binary_sensor.i_o_linc_1f_0b_58_sensor',
    'off') %}Closed{% else %}Open{% endif %}!
  data:
    color: gray
    position: bottom-left
    fontsize: max
    icon:
      url: >-
        {% if is_state('binary_sensor.i_o_linc_1f_0b_58_sensor', 'off') %}
        http://192.168.1.192/img/gd_closed.png {% else %}
        http://192.168.1.192/img/gd_open.png {% endif %}

Second garage door in a new automation with the following code:

service: notify.android_tv
data:
  message: >-
    The Car Door is {% if is_state('binary_sensor.i_o_linc_1f_0b_42_sensor',
    'off') %}Closed{% else %}Open{% endif %}!
  data:
    color: gray
    fontsize: max
    icon:
      url: >-
        {% if is_state('binary_sensor.i_o_linc_1f_0b_42_sensor', 'off') %}
        http://192.168.1.192/img/gd_closed.png {% else %}
        http://192.168.1.192/img/gd_open.png {% endif %}

Hope this helps!

Hey man, thanks for the write-up!

I’ having troubles with the icon/image, so I was wondering how you did that part;

  • what’s the path of your images?
  • did you have to whitelist the direction in fonfiguartion.yaml?

Thanks in advance!
