So for years I’ve never gotten this to work. I have worked around it by using email to SMS but ATT is closing that service, so now I need to get this working.
So I have notifications working using the automation builder and in the data field I have the following, which has reportedly worked for other people:
car_ui: true
notification_icon: mdi:garage
channel: Garage
importance: high
the notification works on my phone always, but never appears on AA. I have also tried:
car_ui: true
notification_icon: mdi:garage
channel: Garage
importance: high
priority: high
still nothing. As far as I have enabled everything else, so this should work. What am i missing?
Found this old reddit thread. OP said he got it working, so I compared his yaml to yours and the only thing different I see is that you don’t have a “ttl:” variable in your data.
When I was googling about when pondering this, I found another thread here on the forum (which I can’t seem to find again right now) about TTL and priority in AA and then I saw that thread and it got the gears turning…
- service: notify.mobile_app_oneplus_nord
data:
title: "Coming home"
message: "You're coming home."
data:
car_ui: true
notification_icon: "mdi:shield-off"
channel: "HA above"
importance: high
timeout: 120
actions:
- action: "ACTION_COMING_HOME" # The key you are sending for the event
title: "Tout" # The button title
icon: mdi:home-import-outline
- action: "ACTION_DISARM_ALARM" # The key you are sending for the event
title: "Désactiver alarme" # The button title
icon: mdi:shield-off
- action: "ACTION_OPEN_PORTAIL" # The key you are sending for the event
title: "Ouvrir grille" # The button title
icon: mdi:gate-openoff
- action: "NOOP"
title: "Annuler"
icond: mdi:cancel
For me, the notif is shown with a single button, but that’s device-specific, apparently.
I made the change and added ttl: 0 and it still doesnt work. Now, I am connected to the car and manually triggering the automation and quickly closing my phone, so its not happening naturally, but it still does not display.
The automation given right before mine has less variables, and works, its got to be somehting with my phone or HA app. What am I missing?
I just got a Pixel 9, but this was also happening with the Pixel 7.
OK, I got it fixed, and the solution is probably dumb, but hopefully this can hep someone else.
I did not have the home assistant app on my android auto dashboard, because I just don’t use it that way. But after I added it, the notifications work! Thanks to everyone that chipped in!!
