ANDROID : URI in Actionable Notifications: call a shortcut

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
,

Hello,

First, thx for the great job on Home Assistant, i’m using it for a few months and discover every day more and more advanced great features :+1:

For now it is possible to call an Android Application URI as described here:

- action: "URI"  
  title: "Open Twitter"  # Name of package for application you would like to open
  uri: "app://com.twitter.android"

But sometimes, it can be more efficient to call directly a shortcut within the android app itself like this for example: fr.freebox.android.compagnon/.MainAutomationActivityLauncher

With this, if the app allows it, you can call directly a specific UI of the app instead of its home and create even more useful actionable notifications.

Thanks !
AVB

use the intent string, you’ll have to figure out the proper format but its supported in the frontend

second example: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/integrations/android-webview#links

Edit: also don’t forget about command_activity
