Hello, I have a recurring issues with the iOS notifications. They will randomly stop working. I have 2 iPhones which are both setup to receive the notifications. Once i realise that they are not working I have to various steps (incl. reset and delete the app, delete the .ios.conf file) which do or don’t always work.
Its hassle and really annoying as some important notifications (such as alarm conditions) come through notifications.
Any suggestions?
Only idea I have is to check the HASS logs to see if there are errors. It will also report there if you’re hitting the quota limit which IIRC is 100 pushes/day.
Ive just tried a notification and this shows up in the log:

Any ideas?
your very first error, look at line one and two. there is an error in your template data of the message. I had the same issue trying to send a message from an action with the trigger data but I had the trigger data template wrong. If the template fails evaluation, the message will not send.
This is what i have in the automation as the action:
- service: notify.ios_philips_iphone
data:
message: 'Alarm Tirggered! Sensor'Hmmm, that’s odd. I have similar notifications but I don’t have them wrapped in single quotes. If you remove the single quotes does it work? I do have one notification with the whole message wrapped in double quotes but it contains a template within the text:
action:
- service: notify.ios_ipad
data:
title: Update Available!
message: "Home Assistant {{ states.updater.updater.state }} is now available."Hi there,
I dont believe that it is an issue with the message itself. I have used that exact action before and it works no problem. However i have done a test with your action and I still do not get a notification.
Its definitely something wrong with the add-in
So yesterday my notification started working again… i have no idea why. i had completed a full system reboot. so maybe that helped. i will try that as the first thing next time and see.
Hey, just curious, what sort of system and version are you running? is it a RPi ir linux and is it in a docker container? im trying to figure out why my notifications arent working either and im wondering if its a problem with a certain kind of install method.
If anyone comes across this again, reboot the host machine. I was running Hass.io and tried rebooting Home Assistant and that didn’t work. Had to reboot the host itself.
Just want to report that this also worked for me. Restarting Home Assistant from the UI did nothing, but restarting the Docker Container fixed the problem.
