HA is stuck in Legacy UI

Configuration

I am trying to work on fixing iOS app notification errors in my HA but I don’t have access to Services in Dev tools.
I am fully updated

I for the life of me cannot get a way to switch to Modern UI. My iOS alerts stopped working with this error

image749×496 29.5 KB

and as I tried to investigate this previously working automation, I have gone down a rabbit hole with ChatGPT trying to get to the services configurations to try to fix the errors
Has anyoine else been battling the legacy/moder UI issue that may suggestion a new hole to go down?
FYI Running hassio on rpi4

It is called “Actions” now.

You have confused yourself further because the LLM knows nothing about recent developments. HA moves too fast for its training. Stop using it and read the documentation and ask questions here instead. You will get more sensible and meaningful answers.

Share your automation. The action appears correct, i.e. like this:

action: notify.mobile_app_ipad_pro
data:
  message: test
  title: This is the title

So more likely the notify action name has changed. Look in Developer Tools → States for notify.mobile_app_...

Here is my alert setup:

alias: RefrigeratorFreezerAlert
description: RefrigeratorFreezerAlert
mode: single
triggers:
  - entity_id:
      - sensor.inside_refrigerator_temp_hum_c227_temperature
    for:

      seconds: 0
    above: 41

That should have been Developer Tools → Actions.

Does it exist?

Your format is off if that device exists. Take a look at Tom’s previous posted example

actions:
  - action: notify.mobile_app_thedarknet
    data:
      title: Refrigerator/Freezer Alert
      message: >-
        blah, blah , blah
6

How so?

7

This will work?

8

Yes. The order of the options in a dictionary is not important.

actions:
  - data: 
    action:

is the same as:

actions:
  - action:
    data:

Thanks for clarifying. I did not know that! I never cam across the reverse format in the Docs, but I could have missed it. Always learning…

actions:
  - data: 
    action:

Thanks @tom_l I found the requisite notification (notify.mobile_app_the_darknet). The notification still is not working

But this is something I should be able to figure out myself. I think this may be related to setting new tokens for the mobile app

Ok so you were missing an underscore in the entity id.

As for the new error:

Did you trigger the automation manually?

If you do that it skips the triggers and there will be no to_state trigger variable.

Change one of the temperature values in Developer Tools → States to trigger the automation. It is not permanent and you can set it back to what it was after the test or wait until the next sensor update.

I ended up just taking on of the temp sensors out of the fridge. The alert started working.
I ended up changing the automation to this

An update my notification groups in configuration.yaml

notify:
  - platform: group
    name: AllPhoneApps
    services:
      - service: mobile_app_peaches99
      - service: mobile_app_the_darknet

I need to validate that thuis is working on my wife’s phone when she get’s home from work

I appreciate the feed back in the AI tools, but HomeAssistant is a deep well of possibilities and I have found that AI tools should be considered.
