Best way to handle REPLY actions?

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android

Hm. I think I figured it out.

For someone else wanting to do this. Apparently, you can send really any data attribute to the android app and on a reply, it will reply also with that data. Example:

service: notify.phone_notifications
data:
  title: Human Detected @ Door
  message: Someones at the door.
  data:
    image: '{{ lasturl }}'
    tag: Doorbell-general
    group: General
    timeout: 180
    channel: General
    ttl: 0
    priority: high
    id: front-door-motion-snooze
    actions:
      - action: URI
        title: Live
        uri: '{{ linkurl }}'
      - action: URI
        title: All Cameras
        uri: /my-home/cams
      - action: REPLY
        title: Snooze

If I send the ‘id: front-door-motion-snooze’, I can then listen for that in the event data on the reply. Easy.

  - platform: event
    event_type: mobile_app_notification_action
    event_data:
      action: REPLY
      id: front-door-motion-snooze

and an example event:

Event 15 fired 12:40 PM:

    "data": {
        "image": "",
