iOS Actionable Notifications - got it working! Wuhoo!

This wasn’t as hard as I though it would be. Took a little bit of trial and error, but I finally got it working with my garage doors. Now I get a notice on my iphone if I leave the garage doors open at night, and I can click to close them, or leave them open (if I’m still out there working).
I also set it up to give a notification every time the the door opens. Now we use that to close the door right after we come in or go out.

Got a request to add the config lines here for easy copying.
Here you go: (formatting is messed up).
go here instead:

automation old:

  • alias: Notify iOS Janis Garage #creates the notification
    initial_state: True
    hide_entity: True
    trigger:

    • platform: time
      at: ‘22:00:00’ #change this to actual trigger
      condition:
      condition: state
      entity_id: cover.double #id of your garage door relay
      state: open
      action:
      service: notify.ios_justin_iphone_ #id of your ios device, might not show up until you’ve loaded the ios component in HA
      data:
      title: “Janis’ Garage Check” #customizable
      message: “It’s 10pm and Janis’ Garage is Open” #customizable
      data:
      push:
      badge: 0 # this will remove the badge/app icon number
      category: ‘GARAGE1’ #name matched in ios component

  • alias: iOS app notification action garage1 #creates the action button
    initial_state: True
    hide_entity: True
    trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: ios.notification_action_fired
    event_data:
    actionName: CLOSE_JANIS #name matched in ios component
    action:
    service: cover.close_cover
    entity_id: cover.double

ios: ios component
push:
categories:
- name: garage1
identifier: ‘GARAGE1’
actions:
- identifier: ‘CLOSE_JANIS’ ## this must point to an action ##
title: ‘Close Janis Garage Door’

that’s it for the config.yaml
The other part is just downloading the ios app on your phone and connecting it to your HA.

Hi DrZzs,

thanks to your videos I started with home assistastant and I’ve tried to make actionable notifications
Unfortunately I get just the message but not the choice.

Yesterday I’ve posted a request on this forum and now I’ve found out that you also are here with your topic.

I’ll delete the original post if I can find a way

The automation makes the check of total power consumption and if above 3500w all the wemo switches are turned off. Then a message reaches my iPhone asking which switch I’l like to turn on.

The issue I’m facing is that I receive the message but without any multiple selection. Just the message with no switch choice
Do you have any idea where I’ve done any mistake?

My files:

automations.yaml:

- id: wemo_superano_soglia
  alias: Wemo superano soglia
  initial_state: true
  hide_entity: false
  trigger:
  - above: '3500'
    entity_id: sensor.tot_current_power
    platform: numeric_state
  action:
    - service: homeassistant.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.lavastoviglie
    - service: homeassistant.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.lavatrice
    - service: homeassistant.turn_off
      entity_id: switch.forno
    - service: notify.notify
      data:
        title: "Attenzione:"
        message: "superato il consumo consentito, cosa vuoi ri-accendere?"
        data:
          push:
            badge: 0
            category: 'SCELTAWEMO'

- id: accendi_lavatrice
  alias: Accendi lavatrice
  initial_state: true
  hide_entity: false
  trigger:

    event_data:
      actionName: FORNO_ON
  action:
    service: homeassistant.turn_on
    entity_id: switch.forno

ios.yaml:

push:
  categories:
    - name: sceltawemo
      identifier: 'SCELTAWEMO'
      actions:
        - identifier: 'LAVATRICE_ON'
          title: 'Accendi lavatrice'
        - identifier: 'LAVASTOVIGLIE_ON'
          title: 'Accendi lavastoviglie'
        - identifier: 'FORNO_ON'
          title: 'Accendi forno'

configuration.yaml:

#iOS
ios: !include ios.yaml

Thank you!

I haven’t messed with actionable notifications for quite a while. My first suggestion would be to go to the iPhone Home Assistant app and click settings (gear in lower right corner), then Notification Settings, then Update Push Notifications.
As far as I can tell everything else in your configuration is correct.
Anything else you might need to know is likely on this page:

Hope that helps!

the identifier and category must be lower case
try this and let me know if it works and also remember to update pushnotification on ios app

push:
  categories:
    - name: sceltawemo
      identifier: 'sceltawemo'   # must be lower case
      actions:
        - identifier: 'LAVATRICE_ON'
          title: 'Accendi lavatrice'
        - identifier: 'LAVASTOVIGLIE_ON'
          title: 'Accendi lavastoviglie'
        - identifier: 'FORNO_ON'
          title: 'Accendi forno'
