Help with notification with clickable options

Configuration
1

Hi,

I would like to create an automation that detects if my garage port is left open for 5 minutes and, if that’s the case, send me a message to my phone somewhat like this: “Garagedoor is still open, should i close it?” . i would like to have 2 choices in that message, 1. “Close garage” which trigs my shelly to close the garage. and 2. “leave open”, which then does nothing.

I have really tried to read and study in order to understand how to make this automation, but i still have no clue… (bad understanding from me…) Can someone please help me out with this? its the notification that makes me struggle.

My devices are.

  1. Shelly1 which controls the garageport. (switch.shelly1_garageport)
  2. Aqara door sensor (binary_sensor.garageport)
  3. an iPhone which i want to be notified.

Please experts, help me out!
how should i set this automation up?

I have really really tried to understand that part, but i must be really stupid, which most likely are the case, because i do not get it. :frowning:

as far as i can understand and to my knowledge this is what i have done, and still it does not work, do anyone see any clear mistakes in the code?
This is in the config.yaml file

ios:
  push:
    categories:
      - name: garageport
        identifier: 'garage1'
        actions:
          - identifier: 'CLOSE'
            title: 'Stäng garageport'
          - identifier: 'LETBE'
            title: 'Låt vara öppet'
            destructive: 'true'

And in the automations i have this:

- id: '1607970342761'
  alias: notifiera när garageport är öppen
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.garageport
    to: 'on'
    for: 00:03:00
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: notify.mobile_app_patriks_telefon
    data:
      title: "Garageport öppen!"
      message: "Garageporten har vart öppen i 3 minuter, vad ska jag göra?"
      push:
        category: 'garage1'

- id: '1608053706257'
  alias: öppna garageport
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
    event_data:
      actionName: CLOSE
  condition: []
  action:
  - type: turn_on
    device_id: dd13dc9b512b6ec26c17629288cb043f
    entity_id: switch.shelly1_garageport
    domain: switch
  mode: single

When i try to run the automation, nothing at all happens, as it seems, at least no push notification is sent to my phone, and then of course, no actions either.

please help :slight_smile:

So might be late here but I have set up the exact same scenario for my garage. The main difference is that I am using Android vs iOS so you would need to match it up. I am also keeping the notification persistent so it will stay up until the garage closes. Here are my 3 automations. If you want to wait 5 min, just put 5 in the ‘For’ part of the first automation.

Notify when garage is open for

alias: Notify if garage is open

        actions:
          - action: close
            title: Close
        tag: garage
        persistent: true
        sticky: 'true'
        color: red
      message: Garage is open
    service: notify.mobile

Close garage on notification action

alias: Close on notif action
