Hi Max - am I missing something? Where would you put the action for the button, here? As in what you want HA to actually do when a button is pressed on the iOS device? Thanks
Really struggling with this.
Iām not sure, it was a long time ago and I donāt use iOS actionable notifications anymore.
But I believe the next iOS app update will change the notifications completely so maybe wait until thatās out.
Thanks Max - eventually got it sorted. 
Out of interest, what do you use now?
Good to hear.
I donāt have a use for actionable notifications right now actually. Maybe in the future.
Hi guys,
#im trying get this to work but no buttons appear on my display. 
Im trying since 1 week, but now, i need some help. Maybe anybody can help please??
my configuration.yaml
ios:
push:
categoeries:
- name: Vakuum
identifier: 'vakuum'
actions:
- identifier: 'RUN_VAKUUM'
title: 'Start Cleaning'
activationMode: background
authenticationRequired: no
- identifier: 'DO_NOTHING'
title: 'Do Nothing'
activationMode: background
authenticationRequired: no
and my two automations in the automation.yaml:
- id: '1566881863885'
alias: Kalle Push
trigger:
- entity_id: device_tracker.birger_iphone
platform: state
to: not_home
action:
service: notify.ios_birger_iphone
data:
title: Kalle
message: Cleaning?
data:
push:
badge: 0
category: 'vakuum'
- id: '15668818637645'
alias: iOS Event Trigger Kalle
trigger:
- event_data:
actionName: RUN_VAKUUM
event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
platform: event
condition: []
action:
- data:
entity_id: vacuum.kalle
service: vacuum.start
initial_state: true
That would be so nice.
Nobody here who can help me?
It looks like the indentions are off?
Iāll post mine, I havenāt used it in awhile but it did work when I was using it.
Iām not by my computer right now but I promise not to forget!
You wrote ācategoeriesā instead of ācategoriesā, third line on your configuration.yaml.
That was the error! Thank you so much

I am having a similiar issues. I have three actionable categories but one of them does not provide me any options. Iām sure itās super simple, but I cannot seem to find it
ios:
push:
categories:
- name: Garage Alert
identifier: 'garage_alert'
actions:
- identifier: 'CANCEL_GARAGE_ALERT'
title: 'Cancel Alert'
- identifier: 'CLOSE_GARAGE'
title: 'Close Garage'
- name: Shopping Alert
identifier: 'shopping_alert'
actions:
- identifier: 'CANCEL_SHOPPING_ALERT'
title: 'No'
- identifier: 'OPEN_GARAGE_WHEN_I_GET_HOME'
title: 'Yes'
- name: Guest Alert
identifier: 'guest_alert'
actions:
- identifier: 'GUESTS_GONE'
title: 'No'
- identifier: 'GUESTS_HOME'
title: 'Yes'
This is the automation for the one that is failing
- alias: Actionable Guests at home when security is armed
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- binary_sensor.motion_sensor_living_room_motion
from: 'off'
to: 'on'
condition:
- condition: state
entity_id: input_select.security_system
state: 'Armed (Away)'
action:
- service: notify.ios_tracys_iphone
data:
message: "Are there Guests in the House?"
data:
push:
category: "guest_alert"
- service: notify.ios_pauls_iphone
data:
message: "Are there Guests in the House?"
data:
push:
category: "guest_alert"
I never get the Yes or No, options. I do get the iOS Alert, just not actionable.
Anyone see anything obvious.
Which app are you using? 1.5.1 or 2.0?
1.5.1 but strangely enough another actionable notification does work.
since these seem correct, it could be the trigger automation? You didnt post that, so maybe have a look at that?
- alias: 'IOS - All In one'
id: 'IOS - All In one'
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
etc etc
Hmm, here are the trigger automations
- alias: iOS Actionable Notification Guests Gone
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
event_data:
actionName: GUESTS_GONE
condition:
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.ha_runtime_in_minutes
above: 1
action:
- service: input_boolean.turn_off
entity_id: input_boolean.guests_present
- alias: iOS Actionable Notification Guests Home
trigger:
- platform: event
event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
event_data:
actionName: GUESTS_HOME
condition:
- condition: numeric_state
entity_id: sensor.ha_runtime_in_minutes
above: 1
action:
- service: input_boolean.turn_on
entity_id: input_boolean.guests_present
My thing is that I never get a Yes or No option to select, so these automatons never trigger. Basically I get a popup that says āAre there Guests in the House?ā If I long press I get nothing, If I tap, it just opens the app.
well, yes, I recognize that. Had a few of these cases myself, and never could find the solution. Until I saw āendpoint disabledā in the logs.
with the latest updates, Hassio, iOS, that got worse, up to the moment my iPhone didnt get any notification at all, not even the notify.notify, nor the life360 updates for that matter. I was on iOS beta, and that was troubled with other connection issues so it appeared (iCloud for one).
Deleted the beta certificate and waited for another IOS release firmware. deleted all App installs, deleted the entries in .storage for my iPhone, restarted everything and reinstalledā¦
long story short: after all that, all notifications were delivered, including the failing actionable notifications, which now even play a nice sound when theyāre fired 
suppose you took care of the most obvious thing to do: update the push-settings in the app?
if its of any use for you, this is my generic iOS push system:
ios:
push:
categories:
- name: Espresso
identifier: 'espresso'
actions:
- identifier: 'ALLINONE_TRUE'
title: 'Yes/On/True/Open/Lock'
authenticationRequired: yes
activationMode: 'background'
destructive: yes
behavior: 'default'
- identifier: 'ALLINONE_FALSE'
title: 'No/Off/False/Close/Unlock'
authenticationRequired: no
- identifier: 'DISMISS'
title: 'Dismiss'
activationMode: 'background'
authenticationRequired: yes
destructive: no
behavior: 'default'
you seem to miss out on several of the settings under the identifiers (some are default, so probably can be left out, still no harm adding them eitherā¦)

Oh wow. Thanks. That was it. The simplest solution is often the right solution. I never updates the push settings in the app. Haha. Just did that and itās working perfectly now. Thank you!!

Hi I am having a similar issue with this, I have created the notification which I can see in my iOS app but when it fires I just get the message with no actionable buttons. I see lots of comments regarding āupdate push settings in the appā but where is that setting? I have gone through everything but cant find it. I am running version 0.116.0.
Realised the buttons were there after hours of debugging but you have to long press the notification. Is there any way to get the button to appear when the notification appears or is this just an iOS feature?
Yeahā¦ those options can be easily unnoticed.
And once you click the notification it disapears making impossible to come back and chose the option again.
I have another question. Actionable notifications can be set from within iOS application. And it works well. But how to share this notification with other users of my HA system? Is this notificaton set in App just for me? Or can be somehow automatically spread across all devices in my HA network?
Or maybe itās just a tool to test a notification, and then I have to configure it in configuration.yaml anyway?
While this feature is mentioned in documentation, there is no any word about how to share it.
Ahh. there is a āshare contentā button in notification editorā¦ I tried to send it to another iPhone using AirDrop but it has been recognized as plain text file.
thanks in advance
You can create a group of phones or devices, and instead of using service notify.mobile_app_<your_device>, you can use something likeā¦ notify.phones
Create a group in the notify yaml.
#phones
- name: Phones
platform: group
services:
- service: mobile_app_<my_phone>
- service: mobile_app_<her_phone>
- service: mobile_app_<his_phone>
