Last weekend I setup my first Z Wave smoke alarm and created an automated trigger which pushed a notification to my mobile phone via the home assistant app. After some messing around I got it to work correctly. Tested it by pressing the button and bingo!! I also was able to execute the automation inside of HASS no problem. I have now added a second smoke alarm and followed the same process and created a new automated trigger. Tested it and no notification. I went back and tested the other smoke detector automated trigger and it now doesn’t work either!! Gah!!! Nothing was changed in the other automated trigger and no notifications are now working at all.
OK I am confused!
I have restarted home assistant and still no luck.
Nothing was changed with home assistant so how come it’s now stopped sending notifications?
My first experiences with Home Assistant is not giving me confidence especially something as basic as notifications stopping for no reason when it was working perfectly.
I went into Developer Tools and Services and found the notify mobile app service and pressing Call Service and nothing. This definitely worked last weekend.
Any advice please?
there is a change. you installed a second sensor…so need to see how it’s interfering…i know this is not much help…but patience is key.
remove the new automation and see if the old one works again. if it does then check that the new sensor works correctly in the dev > states panel. trigger it manually and confirm it goes on/off. also check the entity_id name given to the new sensor and make sure that’s what your’re using in your automation.
yeah I don’t think its because of the second added sensor. When I checked the logs in the Developer Tools section an error is showing as 'Requested entity was not found. - referring to /mobile_app/notify.py.
Is this an easy fix?
So test your mobile-app is getting notifications.
Services > …notification_mobile_app (or similar) and message: test
If it disappeared you have to reset your phone app by Deleting the phone from integration page, then clearing cache in your phone app snd reconfiguring the app.
Restart hass
the notification_mobile_app option is still there but clicking test below it no longer also works. this was working previously.
someone posted a similar problem and said they resolved it by removing the double entries in the core.config_entities file.
Where can I find this file from the UI?
cheers
