Notify Group -> persistent_notification.create

gomble · January 22, 2021, 1:32pm

Hello i have a problem with notify groups my code below does not work:

notify:
  - name: Family
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: mobile_app_iphone1
      - service: mobile_app_iphone2
      - service: persistent_notification.create

I get following error:

Invalid config for [notify.group]: invalid slug persistent_notification.create (try persistent_notification_create) for dictionary value @ data['services'][2]['service']. Got 'persistent_notification.create'. (See ?, line ?).

Can anyone tell me why this error appear?

Try this

notify:
  - name: Family
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone1
        data:
          message: 'Notification text'
      - service: notify.mobile_app_iphone2
        data:
          message: 'Notification text'
      - service: persistent_notification.create
        data:
          message: 'Notification text'

Yes but i change the text via the automatation, example:

- alias: Fenster offen vergessen
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: 
        - binary_sensor.badezimmer_sensor_contact
        - binary_sensor.dachfenster_garten_contact
        - binary_sensor.dachfenster_strasse_contact
        - binary_sensor.dachfenster_treppe_contact
      to: 'on'
      for: '01:00:00'
  condition:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: group.fensterkontakte
      state: 'on'
      for: '01:00:00'
  action:
    - service: notify.family
      data_template:
        message: >
          {% set open = 
            states.binary_sensor            
              |selectattr
                  ('entity_id','in',state_attr
                      ('group.fensterkontakte','entity_id')
                  )
              |selectattr
                    ('state','eq','on')
              |map
                  (attribute='name')
          |list %}
            {{ open|join(', ') }} {{ '' if open|length > 1 else '' }} offen vergessen!
        title: "Offenes Fenster !"

if i put the text into the notification group it is the same for all automatation…

you can try to put it in a script and call the script from the group.

How do you mean ?
I did not understood.

sheminasalam · January 22, 2021, 1:57pm

So you want you have different message for each notification which is provided by different data template?

gomble · January 22, 2021, 2:00pm

I want to group my devices. If i remove:

     - service: persistent_notification.create

my notifications work. I call from the automatation the notify group like this:

  action:
    - service: notify.family

and i also give with the automatation the message which has to appear on the mobile phones.

But i also wanted to add:

     - service: persistent_notification.create

to my group, to show me a message in the message tab ofhomeassistant, after that i got the error above.

DO you have a service called notify.persistent_notification ?

gomble · January 22, 2021, 2:09pm

No where i have to do this ?

sheminasalam · January 22, 2021, 2:14pm

Did you check the services? I have one but have to check how it got there.

gomble · January 22, 2021, 2:21pm
