No notifications work, devices not listed, all sensors listed in dev/states, not notify

Hello everyone,

Can someone please help me? I’ve scoured various sources on the internet but can’t find a solution. HA has already been completely reinstalled and restored from backup, but my error still persists.

My iOS or Android devices don’t appear under Notify, and I can’t select them to send a notification. All sensors are listed in HA, but when I create a notification rule, no devices show up at all.

Where could this error be coming from?

The companion app doesn’t use notify entities. It uses notify actions.
So instead of notify.send_message you need to use the action notify.mobile_app_whatever

This will probably be changed in the future, but right now this is how it is.
That also means that if you want to group them into a notify group, you can’t use the group helper, but you need to create a notify group in YAML, which will again result in a notify action
