Group Notifications Not Working as Expected

Configuration
,
1

Hi All,

I recently started testing notification groups and I’m having some trouble getting them to function reliably.

I have found that I am able to get 1 device in a group to work successfully, and if it’s the only device in the group, that’s fine. However, if I have a group with multiple devices in it, only one of them is receiving a notification.

I enabled debug logging and confirmed this behavior, it doesn’t seem that home assistant is even trying to notify more than one device.

Any help would be great!

Here is what is in my configuration.yaml file:

notify:
  - platform: group
    name: all_devices
    unique_id: all_devices
    services:
      service: mobile_app_pixel_5
      service: mobile_app_r_pixel_9
      service: mobile_app_z_s_pixel

  - platform: group
    name: r_devices
    unique_id: r_devices
    services:
      action: mobile_app_r_pixel_9
#      action: mobile_app_pixel_5

  - platform: group
    name: z_devices
    unique_id: z_devices
    services:
      action: mobile_app_z_s_pixel

I guess I am a fool. By typing this post out I realized the issue was missing - on the list of services/actions. I was not delivering an array in yaml format. /facepalm

notify:
  - platform: group
    name: all_devices
    services:
     - service: mobile_app_pixel_5
     - service: mobile_app_r_pixel_9
     - service: mobile_app_z_s_pixel

  - platform: group
    name: r_devices
    services: 
     - service: mobile_app_r_pixel_9
     - service: mobile_app_pixel_5

  - platform: group
    name: z_devices
    services: 
     - service: mobile_app_z_s_pixel

This works fine!
