Custom sound notifications on phone

Configuration
1

Hi!

I have a question which is not directly related to HA, but associated. I guess other HA users have/had a similar problem.

In the following I refer to Pushbullet as it is currently my service of choice. However, it should hold for any other tool featuring a notification service (e.g., Telegram) too:

I use Pushbullet to push HA notifications to my Android phone which works fine. Whenever such a notification is pushed, the default notification sound is played at my phone. It would be really nice to associate different notification sounds to different events (e.g., door unlocked, window opened etc.). A possible solution would be, for example, to configure spoken notifications, but that seems a little bit complicated to achieve and also a little bit weird when you surrounded by a bunch of people and your phone starts to talk to you out of nowhere … :wink:

Any suggestions how to achieve this groal?

Thanks in advance and kind regards!

Hello HA community,

I went with another solution. A few words about it for the case that someone else is facing a similar intention:

I have chosen to use spoken notifications as they seem to be the by far most flexible solution. I use the Pushbullet integration in Home Assistant to send notifications like “Laundry finished”, “Door unlocked”, or “Dryer finished” to my Android phone. Triggered by this input, the app “Shouter” generates a voice notification. That’s it. I really like it. :slight_smile:

If someone is interested into more details about this solution, let me know by means of a short reply.

Kind regards!
