Should be just topic.
Reference

Thanks for help. I tried with and without quotes around the topic as per reference now changed as below but still get same error:

    trigger:
      platform: mqtt
      topic: RFBridge/tele/RESULT
      name: 'garage_door1'
      from: 'closed'
      to: 'open'
      for: '0:5:00'
103

Did you read the linked doc?

    trigger:
      platform: mqtt
      topic: RFBridge/tele/RESULT
      payload: 'open'

This is the only valid syntax for this type of trigger event, per the docs.
If you want to use from and for you’ll need to dump your mqtt into a binary sensor and use a state trigger.

Actually, the app does not seem to use the phone name, but the Model name (for me GM1903). I have OxygenOS (based on Android 10).

105

Did you change the device name in the app configuration page? That’s the name you need to change for it to take place

106

Yes I have changed it in configuration. But at this time, sensors are already created.
It is not a big deal, I have renamed my entities in HA itself.

107

Mother of God. Thank you!

That worked for me! I tried everything (and than i mean; everything!). Tried several ‘help my push notifications does not wake up my phone’ tutorials. Applied all permissions and disabled all battery saving settings. Nothing worked. Well, now i’ll see that it has to be something in HA instead of my phone.

Thanks, many thanks!

My notifications are sometimes several minutes after the fact. I’ve made sure there is no battery optimisation etc…

Any ideas?

@OptimusGREEN Try this Home Assistant Companion for Android 1.6 and 1.7

110

Ok will give that a try thanks.

I know this is probably going to put me on some sort of banned fo4 life list, but I’ll ask anyway.

How do you configure, install, setup this companion?

I am NEW to the automation process, so pardon my ignorance.

App store -> search home assistant -> tap install
The configuration screens are pretty straight forward once the app is running.
