Component not loaded

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple
1

Just been added to the Beta - HASS 0.31 installed but the iOS app is showing the component isnt loaded.

Do i need to add something to my configuration to get this to work? Also where is the documentation regarding using the iOS component and its values?

Thanks

Documentation is in progress and should be available today. Adding ios: to your configuration will load the iOS component. Until 0.32 you will also need to manually add the notify platform like this:

notify:
  - platform: ios

If you had the old style notify platform with name and target set you should remove it and use the new syntax.

Apologies for the disjointed release schedule on this, was a crazy weekend with 0.31 and updater stuff going on.

Thanks robbie. No problem about the documentation, just wondering if i had missed something. Keep up the good work.

@robbiet480 -

can you help me with the exact syntax needed for notifications in the latest version and ios app?

in my configuration.yaml i have the following

notify:
  - platform: ios

I have an automation setup to notify me when the event homeassistant_start happens as below

action:
  service: notify.ios
    data:
      message: 'some message'

i get the following error with this setup:

homeassistant.components.notify.ios: no target parameter was found in the notification payload.

–

I noted a new service called notify.ios_daves_iphone so i changed my action to the following:

action:
  service: notify.ios_daves_iphone
    data:
      message: 'some message'

now i get the error

homeassistant.core: invalid service data for notiify.ios_daves_iphone: required key not provided @ data [‘message’]. Got none

I was under the impression from above the target id wasnt needed? Am i missing something else from my syntax.

Thanks again for your support, i appreciate how busy you must be

Hey Dave,

You are on the right path with changing the service to notify.ios_daves_iphone.

Your action should be this:

action:
  service: notify.ios_daves_iphone
  data:
    message: 'some message'

Thanks @robbiet480 - i got this working. I actually had double quotes around my message rather than single quotes.

How often does the automation in HASS execute? I have an automation setup to let me know my commute is more than 40 minutes however it ran once after i restarted HASS but has never run since.

Automations execute once a second. Before blaming HASS i’d expect to find a bug in your automation.

Woah i wasnt blaming HASS at all. Just querying how often they run that is all.
