How to send notification to the HA App

Hi
didn’t understand how to do it, ill appreciate if some one can assist
could not understand the guides

Thanks

Which guide did you use? IOS or Android? Official app? App connected to HA?

Hi,
I want to be able to send notification to the official App

IOS or Android? The app works already? In HA do you see the notify.xxx service under Developer Tools -> Services? Under integrations -> Mobile App do you see your phone?

Hi,
IOS, the apps is working
regarding the services, I have those that related to notification (no idea what’s the deferences)

and yes I can see my iPhone under Mobile App

So go to Developer Tools -> Services, then choose the service notify.mobile_app_baraks_iphone and under service data enter:
message: "test message", press execute service call

didn’t worked,

In an automation, add action “call service”, add notify.mobile_app_baraks_iphone.
In the servicedata field add title: title for the message and on the next line message: your message.

Edit: the errormessage looks like the problem is related to connect to the phone, not wrong code.

Under configuration, integrations click on “Mobile App: your phone” and then click on the entity.
Then you should be able to see some info about your phone. As battery status, and wifi connection if any. If not HA has connection problems with your phone.
I am using Android, so don´t know how to fix it with IOS.

I can see all of what you mentioned but un the entity page I cant see a notify entity, Is it something I need to add to the configuration or something?

That is normal, it is a service.
If you look under developer tools > services notify.mobile_app_… should be there.

To test it, select it on the dropdown menu there under services, and in the datafield write message: test and click the call service button.
If you dont get the message you have a problem an check the log.
Remember that HA needs to talk out on internet, and that your network configuration is correct. (Default gateway, DNS etc.)

I didn’t configure remote access to HA yet, might be the issue?

OH? You do not need to open/have inbound access to your Home Assistant, but you need outbound access to the internet from the Home Assistant instance for the notification to work.

I think I have connection to the internet from HA, how can I check this?

from ssh or if you have the terminal add-on enter ping www.google.com and check that you get reply. stop it with ctrl + c

I have pings to google
