iOS actionable notifications not working

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple
1

Hi. I’ve configured a basic actionable notification sent to my mobile companion app, but when I listen for the event data, it does’t show up??? I’ve listened to notify.mobile_app_action and i’ve tried listening to ios.action_fired. Any ideas from anyone?

Post the automation

I use ios_action_fired.
Have you checked traces to determine why it may not be triggering?

whats traces? How do I do that… EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT

Here is my yaml

alias: Deadmans Switch Check-In
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: time
    at: "07:00:00"
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: notify.mobile_app_iphone
    metadata: {}
    data:
      data:
        push:
          sticky: "true"
        sound:
          name: default
          critical: 1
          volume: 1
        actions:
          - action: CHECKED_IN
            title: Yes, I'm here
      message: hey
      title: dude
  - wait_for_trigger:
      - trigger: event
        event_type: ios_action_fired
        event_data:
          action: CHECKED_IN
    timeout:
      hours: 24
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 0
      milliseconds: 0
    continue_on_timeout: false
  - data:
      entity_id: input_datetime.last_check_in
      timestamp: "{{ now().timestamp() | int }}"
    action: input_datetime.set_datetime
mode: single

try below

alias: Deadmans Switch Check-In
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: time
    at: "07:00:00"
    id: time
  - trigger: event
    event_type: ios_action_fired
    event_data:
      action: CHECK_IN
    id: iosaction
conditions: []
actions:
  - if:
      - condition: trigger
        id:
          - time
    then:
      - data:
          message: Are You Here?
          data:
            tag: checkin
            actions:
              - action: CHECK_IN
                title: dude
                destructive: true
        enabled: true
        action: notify.mobile_app_iphone
    else:
      - if:
          - condition: trigger
            id:
              - iosaction
        then:
          - data:
              entity_id: input_datetime.last_check_in
              timestamp: "{{ now().timestamp() | int }}"
            enabled: true
            action: input_datetime.set_datetime
          - data:
              message: You have been Checked In
              data:
                tag: checkin
            enabled: true
            action: notify.mobile_app_iphone

Hey. I got this error msg when trying to put in that yaml;

Message malformed: Unable to determine action @ data[‘actions’][0][‘else’][0][‘then’][0]

I’ve never nested if statements under actions before so this is new territory for me.

EDIT: I got this script working, but for some reason I had to change the event to mobile_app_notification_action ?? There is no ios_action_fired event set up in my HA Platform??

Thanks for you help.

i edited the previous post.
it was missing action “action: input_datetime.set_datetime”

this will survive reboot since if system reboot while automation was “waiting” it would cancel. since it will work based on receiving notification action it works always. Trigger IDs are great

Thanks very much for your help!
