How to group notification devices? Receiver of notify.notify?

Configuration
1

Hi,

is it possible to set the receivers of the default notify.notify notifications? Or will just anyone connected via HA App receive those and I must send explicit to notify.my_device?

This is what I tried in configuration.yaml:

notify:
  - name: Family
    platform: group
    services:
    - service: notify.mobile_app_john
    - service: notify.mobile_app_doe

When I load this, I’m getting a log that the both services are invalid. But, in automations I can send notifications to eg the servcie notify.mobile_app_john.
So, how can I group notification devices?

Maybe somebody could also tell where the default notification service notify.mobile_app_john comes from, or where it is configured? Because by default I did not configure anything, just installed HA on my phone. Is this name configurable?

Have a look at the docs :wink:

Service
The service part of an entity ID, e.g., if you use notify.html5 normally, just put html5 .

notify:
  - name: Family
    platform: group
    services:
    - service: mobile_app_john
    - service: mobile_app_doe
