HA iOS Notification Error

Configuration
1

So after doing some clean up in my scripts (moving things around, not changing anything) I restarted my HA (Hass.io) and the notifications stopped working with the following error message:

As far as I can tell, my SSL certificate works fine, and there are no other issues reported.

I should add I’m on 68.1 and have been for a few days, haven’t had any issues with this till now. Also tried to notify 2 other iOS devices with the same error message.

Any ideas?

From above there appears to be an issue with SSL, you may want to look into this a bit deeper.

3

I’m seeing the same thing. No changes, it worked yesterday.

4

You are correct about SSL, but it’s an SSL issue on the HA server side, not my side. If you try to go to https://ios-push.home-assistant.io (the link at the bottom of the error message), it comes up with a warning.

5

I’m also getting this error.
Happend after a restart of Home Assistant.
No changes were made in the config files.

6

Ah thanks. Didn’t realise the address was real, I thought you changed it to hide your own address.
Guess we need to wait for server owners to fix it then.

7

The certificate has expired.16

8

That would do it!

9

Yep I was using it all morning to test my Burglar Alarm notifications. I Will switch to email for now I am sure they will fix it soon :slight_smile:

10

I’m having the same issue. Started about 3 hours ago.

11

Same here. Please fix it.

12

I created an issue on github :

Does any know if it is possible to detect this kind of situation in a a trigger and perform an action?

I’m thinking of setting up Amazon SNS as a backup to send an sms, but the price for it is quite steep (about € 0,12 per message, the same as Twilio). I’d like to be able to enable an input_boolean that when activated falls back to Amazon’s SNS.

Having the same issue, 0.68.1

Use ssl-cert-check or any other command line tool to check the certificate if it’s valid or not…

- platform: command_line
    name: SSL cert expiry
    unit_of_measurement: days
    scan_interval: 14400
    command: "ssl-cert-check -b -s domain.tocheck.com -p 443 | awk '{ print $NF }'"

I think this is still run by Robbie and not seen him around much lately.
