Clearing grouped, persistent notifications doesn't work for the first notification created

Hey, I have an automation running that detects open windows and sends me a notification when I forget to close them.

Everything works fine until I try to group the notifications. Then, the notification that was sent first, configured with that group, won’t be cleared by my automation. But when I clear the notification manually using the developer tools it again works just fine.

The trigger looks like this: (the duration is 2 seconds for debugging purposes)

# TRIGGER  STEP

trigger: state
entity_id:
  - binary_sensor.fenstersensor_galerie
  - binary_sensor.fenstersensor_wohnzimmer
  - binary_sensor.fenstersensor_schlafzimmer
to: "on"
for:
  hours: 0
  minutes: 0
  seconds: 2

I then create the following variables:

# VARIABLES STEP

variables:
  room: "{{ area_name(trigger.entity_id) }}"
  room_id: "{{ area_id(trigger.entity_id) }}"
  tag_prefix: fensterueberwachung
  group: Fenster

and send the corresponding notification:

# NOTIFICATION STEP

action: notify.residents
data:
  message: Das Fenster ist offen.
  title: Fenster zu machen!
  data:
    tag: "{{ tag_prefix ~ '-' ~ room_id }}"
    persistent: true
    clickAction: noAction

notify.residents is a group in my configuration.yaml.

I then wait until I close the window and clear the notification;

# CLEAR STEP

action: notify.residents
data:
  message: clear_notification
  data:
    tag: "{{ tag_prefix ~ '-' ~ room_id }}"

But when I try to group the notifications by adding:

group: "{{ group }}"

into the notification data the clearing stops working.

When I take a look into the notification history in my companion app the clear_notification message sent by my automation looks exactly the same as the manual one.

Am I missing something, is the combination of persistent and group even possible?

Let me know if you need more information or some screenshots of my notification history.

Thank you in advance! :slight_smile:
