How to make browser notifications that will works without Internet?

Hey guys, I’m second day with Home Assistant, and I don’t know much yet, please, help me with one thing. I use the portable version of HA, which just runs it all through .cmd, and I manage it through 127.0.0.1. I really need notifications to the same PC where it’s running, that will works without internet. So, I guess notify.events and similar methods doesn’t for me, cause it requires the Internet.

I think the best solution is browser notifications, which just check the notification bar on 127.0.0.1 (I’m about persistent notification) and send information from there. Is there anything like this? I think it can work even without integration into HA, by means of a regular browser extension…

Unless you want to use a mobile app: Local Push | Home Assistant Companion Docs.

But I need for Windows. Yea, probably I can use android emulator, with notifications support, but isn’t a browser extension easier…

I understand what you asked for. I gave you an alternative option, which you don’t have to use.

This tells me two things: you might be open to alternatives, and that you are making assumptions.

What research have you done?

Here’s a lead: WTH is there no Home Assistant app for Windows - #11 by SeanM. I’m not saying this answers your requirement to not make use of the Internet for notifications but maybe it gets you somewhere.

Would this be an option for you??

Should be, it is using MQTT, which is local only…
