HA Companion - notifications pling through, but opening them is futile!

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple

Hello All,

Thanks in advance for any pointers. Im at it again, expanding my realm of capabilities, beyone my technical means!

I have set up a blueprint using the medication reminder one I downloaded.

Was fairly straight forward and seems to be working from the HA (latest version) side.

However…

  • The iPhone plings in my pocket, and I see the medication reminder on the lock screen
  • I unlock the phone with my finger print (ios15 btw)
  • The HA companion app opens
  • There is no notification or actionable notification and I’m not sure how to get it opened

2nd Scenario

  • The phone is unlocked, im texting my girlfriend (don’t tell the wife - haha)
  • Medication alert pops up.
  • Drag the notification open
  • Hey presto the taken, skip, remond me later actions are present.

3rd Scenario

  • You dont select response quick enough
  • Screen goes blank
  • wake up phone and notification has gone

Any ideas how to re-open the notification or deal with it in HA Companion!

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Rob

Yep. The non persistence of the companion app notifications was the major reason I switched to using Telegram.

It can do everything the Companion app can do, except critical alerts, but It does have a chat history that you can check.

I still use the companion app to send critical alerts (fire/smoke/leaks/intruder) while my phone is in do not disturb mode. But for everything else - Telegram.

Roger that.

Thanks for the heads up.
