Hello! I have a notification as part of an automation that’s sent to my iPhone. The automation config looks like this:
description: ""
trigger:
- type: turned_on
platform: device
device_id: ...
entity_id: ...
domain: binary_sensor
enabled: true
action:
- if:
- condition: device
device_id: ...
domain: device_tracker
entity_id: ...
type: is_home
then:
- service: notify.mobile_app_iphone
metadata: {}
data:
title: Movement
message: Possible movement has been detected
data:
push:
interruption-level: critical
sound:
name: "{{ states('input_text.alert_soundname') }}"
volume: 0.8
tag: catcam-motion
mode: single
The custom sound (uploaded through Google Drive, the state variable renders to motion_alarm.wav) works perfectly, adjusting the volume does as well.
However - when I set the interruption-level to “active” for a “default” notification, the custom sound does not work anymore. No sound is played at all, it does not fall back to the default sound.
It DOES work when setting the interruption level to “active” and changing the sound to 3rd_party_critical.caf for example, which would be a default iPhone sound.
As I would love to manage my phone’s notifications with different focus plans, I’d really love to get custom sounds in non-critical notifications to work.
Importing sounds from iTunes did not work, the phone app kept telling me that zero sounds were imported.
Any hints I could try out are appreciated!
Best regards
