Notification on Pixel Watch 2

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Android
1

Hi there.

I am trying to get my HA to notify me on my watch with TTS when someone is pushing a button.

I did get it to send the notification, but for some reason if my watch is on DND the sound is not played unless I activate the watch screen. (Tap on watch, lift the watch).

service: notify.mobile_app_google_pixel_watch_2
metadata: {}
data:
message: TTS
data:
ttl: 0
priority: high
media_stream: alarm_stream_max
tts_text: Somebody at the door

Any good ideas?

Thanks in advance :smiley:

No idea how it works on a watch, but for my phone I specify the notification channel in the YAML and then on my actual phone for that channel I explicitly allow it to override DND.

Also, please format your code properly with 3 backticks before and after; makes it much easier to read and see issues.

Do Not Disturb has a lot of new behavior in Wear OS 4 that the apps cannot workaround unfortunately. Pretty sure this is the intended behavior by Google to preserve battery life. I personally stopped using DND as a result of this.
