Based on @AndreiRadchenko’s blueprint found here: 414976
I modified the original blueprint to allow for one of the actions to launch a custom app on your phone. Tested and working on Android.
Quoted/modified info from original:
Blueprint for automation that sends actionable notifications with a photo on doorbell press.
Notifications are sent to home assistant companion app on android or ios.
Automation can be triggered by any entity that changes state from ‘on’ to ‘off’. i.e. switch, motion sensor, input_boolean, binary_sensor can bee chosen as automation trigger.
You can edit notification title . Message is day and time of automation triggering.
Snapshots are stored in config/www/doorbell folder and can bee used with gallery card.
You can specify mobile_app device or group of devices for notification to be sent to.
For iOS yor can chose notification sound from dropdown list, or set you own sound.
There are three action button in notification. The first one opens dashboard view that specified in blueprint. The second one launches the phone app you specify. And the third one performs configurable action2.
You can also set the time during which the actions in the notification are active.
