Notify. not available

Hey Guys

I don’t have any Notify. Entity I can use, so there is no way to send a notification to my phone.
I Already checked in my HA Companion app and notifications are activated, and it says (I translated it from German to English so it’s maybe no 1:1):
You are using messaging service mobile_app to send notifications to your device.

And below there is approved : Activated

It is like this since ever, but I only wanted to do now some notifications. How can i fix this to send notifications to my phone?

At least on 2024.8, the mobile apps do not create notify entities, they create notify actions

Notify entities are a reasonably recent thing. Up until when they came up, and therefore most integrations don’t support them, what they would provide and they still do is notify services. You call upon the service passing it the parameters it wants, (these tend to be documented in the integration that you’re using for the notification), and then the service sends the notification for you through the device.

Also, services are now called actions.

Hey Guys
Thanks for responding. I could not use the push notifications to my families phones in the code, that’s why I created a script where I could select HA suggested form of push notifications.
(it’s really weird because if I copy the code that HA uses in its suggested notification method and try to use it in a script directly, it won’t work).

But I created a script now with title and text which sends all the phones a notification with the HA suggested way one by one. I really don’t know why it won’t work in the code directly, but yeah. Now it works:
