Ntfy.sh with actions

Hello,

Just a small post to share my configuration to use ntfy.sh with home assistant and action on notification.

In shell_command :

ntfy: >
    curl
    -X POST
    --url 'https://USERNAME:PASSWORDM@URL_NTFY/{{ topic | default("maison") }}'
    --data "{{ message }}"
    --header 'X-Title: {{ title }}'
    --header 'X-Tags: {{ tags  | default("") }}'
    --header 'X-Priority: {{ priority | default("default") }}'
    --header 'X-Actions: {{ actions | default("") | replace("%ha%","URL_HA/api/events/ntfy,method=POST,headers.Authorization=Bearer LONG_LIFE_TOKEN") }}'
    --header 'X-Click: {{ click  | default("") }}'
    --header 'X-Icon: {{ icon  | default("") }}'

Don’t forget to replace :

  • USERNAME : username for ntfy.sh
  • PASSWORD : password for ntfy.sh
  • URL_NTFY : url of your ntfy.sh
  • URL_HA : url of your HA
  • LONG_LIFE_TOKEN : HA long token (on your profils page)

After that you can use action in automation like that :

alias: ask test
description: ""
trigger: []
condition: []
action:
  - variables:
      action_open: "{{ 'OPEN_' ~ context.id }}"
      action_close: "{{ 'CLOSE_' ~ context.id }}"
  - service: shell_command.ntfy
    data:
      topic: loic
      title: coucou
      message: The blinds are half-open. Do you want to adjust this?
      actions: >-
        http,Open,%ha%,body={"action":"{{action_open}}"};
        http,Close,%ha%,body={"action":"{{action_close}}"};
  - wait_for_trigger:
      - platform: event
        event_type: ntfy
        event_data:
          action: "{{ action_open }}"
      - platform: event
        event_type: ntfy
        event_data:
          action: "{{ action_close }}"
  - choose:
      - conditions: "{{ wait.trigger.event.data.action == action_open }}"
        sequence:
          - service: cover.open_cover
            target:
              entity_id: cover.some_cover
            data: {}
      - conditions: "{{ wait.trigger.event.data.action == action_close }}"
        sequence:
          - service: cover.close_cover
            target:
              entity_id: cover.some_cover
            data: {}
mode: single

I hope it’s can help user to use action with ntfy.sh.

Good day, thank you for sharing this. I’m using a rest command I found in another post. Please see below:

ntfy_notify:
  url: https://ntfy_url/homeassistant
  method: POST
  headers:
    authorization: "Bearer token"  
    username: "admin"
    password: !secret network_password
    title: "{{ title }}"
    icon: "{{ icon }}"
    priority: "{{ priority | default('default') }}"
    tags: "{{ tags | join(',') }}"
    click: "{{ click }}"
    attach: "{{ attach }}"
    actions: "{{ actions | join(',') }}"
  payload: "{{ message }}"

I was wondering if you could guide me on how to use the actions if using the above rest command.

I’ve tried to use your example:

      actions: >-
        http,Open,%ha%,body={"action":"{{action_open}}"};

by defining ha as a variable in the automation, but im failing. Any guidance is much appreciated.

Edit: never mind. got it. All i had to do is modify my actions definition in the rest command with yours.
Thank you.

Stumbled on this but I seem to be getting a 401 error when i click the action in ntfy is there something specific you did to get this working outside your home network? As I’m looking at the automation action I’m wondering if it’s a limitation of the action since it shows HTTP and not HTTPS?

I’m just not sure why the notification comes through and the click action doesn’t work (I did include a long-lived token).

Your ntfy instance needs to have a public domain.

Hello did you ever solve this issue?
My setup stop working and i can confirm is an authorization problem.
possibly this section:
–header ‘X-Actions: {{ actions | default(“”) | replace(“%ha%”,“URL_HA/api/events/ntfy,method=POST,headers.Authorization=Bearer LONG_LIFE_TOKEN”) }}’

I use this to send ntfy messages: GitHub - ivanmihov/homeassistant-ntfy.sh: Home Assistant integration for ntfy.sh · GitHub

configuration.yaml > notify:

- name: ntfy_cameras
  platform: ntfy
  url: !secret ntfy_url
  token: !secret ntfy_token
  topic: hass_ai_cameras
  # icon: <notification_icon_url>

action

action: notify.ntfy_cameras
data:
  title: Alley AI Alert!
  message: "{{generated_content['text']}}"
  data:
    tags:
      - warning
      - video_camera
    attach: https://ha.example.com/local/snapshots/alley_{{trig_ts}}_snapshot2.jpg
    filename: alley_ai.jpg
    click: https://ha.example.com/dashboard-cameras/alley
    actions: 
      - action: "view"
        label: "View Event"
        url: >-
          https://zm.example.com/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?mode=jpeg&scale=50&buffer=1000&replay=single&event={{eid}}&user=<user>&pass=<pass>

thank you very much. I’ve seen it and I am able to send notifications with actions with the rest command I posted before.
The issue is the ‘actionable notifications’ do not work.
You can/could create an action button in the ntfy message and this button would trigger a script or whatever in home assistant.
This was facilitated using the “actions” argument (–header ‘X-Actions: {{ actions | default(“”) | replace(“%ha%”,“URL_HA/api/events/ntfy,method=POST,headers.Authorization=Bearer LONG_LIFE_TOKEN”) }}’).
It no longer works. ntfy is not able to pass the authorization token to home assistant. It’s probably something to do with the syntax of this command.
I’m not sure, dont know enough.

Hello, I also use the same integration as you to communicate with HA and NTFY. I don’t understand how you can close a garage door or gate with an action, for example.
