Hello all,
My goal is to receive a notification whenever someone leaves or returns home. I setup an automation which correctly triggers when someone leaves or returns. However, I am not receiving an app notification when that happens.
The action is set to 'send a notification via mobile_app_(identifier) '. App version 2024 10.3-minimal with persistent connection to HA server set.
Please advise.
Have you tried manually sending a notification through developer tools? If that doesn’t work, then I would recommend removing and re-adding the mobile app integration for the device.
I just tried. When hitting ‘perform action’ it shows a green check mark. No notification. Then after 3x, it says ‘device not connected to local push notifications’.
Add. info: I connect to my server through the cloudflared tunnel, if that makes any difference.
sounds like you are hitting Device not connected to local push notifications · Issue #4363 · home-assistant/android · GitHub
Should I just use the Google version? Will Google be able to see the contents of my push notifications?

‘’’ No notification content is stored on remote servers. Only the required push registration data and a simple counter of the total number of push notifications sent per day per device (for rate-limiting purposes) is kept.‘’’
I assume this means it is kept by Google. There is some comment about SSL at the bottom but it refers to Apple and it is not clear what are the endpoints.
Also, it mentions ‘storing’ but nothing ‘reading’ messages.
