Critical notification not getting through DND

Configuration
1

I’m trying to get an alarm even if my phone is on DND.

Right now I’m playing around in the developer console with the following:

service: notify.mobile_app_redmi_note_9s
data:
  title: "Wake up!"
  message: "The house is on fire and the cat's stuck in the dryer!"
  data:
    push:
      sound:
        name: "default"
        critical: 1
        volume: 1.0

I get a notification but no vibration nor sound - how can that be ?

Looks correct.

You need to also enable it in notification settings for the home assistant app (this is for the Ring App but you get the idea):

Thanks for the quick answer tom, I’ve tried to change some of the android app settings and can see that there’s different channels in the settings with their own settings . I’ll try to take a look at it again later.

Oh you’re using the android app. Sorry I only know where the setting is in iOS.

Here, read this:

Looks like you need to create a notification channel.

I ended up doing like this:

service: notify.mobile_app_redmi_note_9s
data:
  title: Alarm!
  message: Nogen er i huset!
  data:
    channel: "alarm_stream"
    importance: high
    ttl: 0

It works … sometimes . When my phone is not sleeping too hard . Sometimes it will first notify me when I turn on the screen, so thats not very useful . Anyway thanks for the help Tom!
