Does anyone know of a way to capture and iOS notification to trigger a Home Assistant automation?
Octopus sends me a notification on iOS devices that it has created a smart charging plan with the times it has set.
I am looking to detect when this happens as it also starts an offpeak session for the house and I would like to start tasks around the house to take advantage of the offpeak rate.
I used to be able to detect this using the Octopus Mini but alas that has stopped working 
I was investigating this some time ago, and if nothing changed on Apple side it is not possible - Apple just do not allow 3rd party applications to intercept notifications coming from other apps.
Ok many thanks
It was a wild wish 
You asked the wrong question.
Can I ditch my dependency on Apple’s walled garden, and get my HomeAssistant Octopus integration to control my life, smartly?
The answer to that question is yes.
Ah
That is an idea.
So you are saying if I use an android phone I will be able to capture the octopus app notifications and drive a Home Assistant automation based on the notification content?
If so I’ll get an android phone just for that.
Thanks for the workaround!
Actually you are proposing that I use the octopus integration I have already installed to detect an offpeak session has commenced.
Where are you seeing this indication I can’t see it in mine.
