Problem with pushover sounds

Configuration
1

I can’t get anything but the default notification sound working. As soon as I add sound I get nothing.

Also, I have pushover running on 2 phones. On second, I don’t get any sounds (DND off and all volumes set to max). On my first phone, I can get the default sound only (if I do not specify ‘sound:’). On my second phone (connected to a speaker downstairs to work as a doorbell) I can get the default notification but no audio. If I specify ‘sound:’ I get no notification at all. I’ve tried adding " and ’ but when I save and go back the quotes are all removed.

I even got the customised audio alerts I uploaded to pushover working.

I am interested in a solution for this as I don’t succeed in getting any sound on my Iphone for HA Pushover notifications. I checked all the relevant Iphone serttings but nothing seems to work.
I am not proficient with Yaml and try to do as much as I can in Visual Editor.

I jump between Visual and YAML editor. When you get the hang of it the YAML has big advantages. You can see what is oging on easier and will quickly learn. The big advantage is you can cut/paste between automasions.

I know but between the {{{ and the ((( it is all too confusing to me :grinning: :grinning:

Yes, YAML by itself can be frustrating, you can stare at it for an hour and be blind to your mistake. Then combine with sometimes unique format needed for a particular integration. This was the case for me when I started with pushover. Once I got it figured out and a sort of template down, it has been a very reliable and useful notification service. Here are two examples, one simpler and one more complex. I think your indenting and structure is just a bit different from mine. Good hunting!

  action:
  - service: notify.pushover
    data:
      message: Stove temperature delta has been above 10ºF for 60 minutes.
      data:
        priority: 1
        sound: vibrate

  action:
  - service: notify.pushover
    data:
      message: 'Close to : {{ state_attr(''sensor.pulsepoint_sbco'', ''key_location'')
        }} {{ state_attr(''sensor.pulsepoint_sbco'', ''desc_short'') }} {{ state_attr(''sensor.pulsepoint_sbco'',
        ''address'') }}

        '
      data:
        url: comgooglemaps://?center={{ state_attr('sensor.pulsepoint_sbco', 'latitude')
          }},{{ state_attr('sensor.pulsepoint_sbco', 'longitude') }}&zoom=18
        priority: 0
        sound: vibrate

Thanks. I think that my issue with the sound is different and it is either on my Iphone or in the connection between HA and the Iphone, as I have the same issue when trying to use sound with a Persistent notification.
I triple checked all my Iphone settings, both in the Pushover App and in the Iphone settings directly, but I don’t see anything wrong… other than the result.

Yes, there are a lot of options in the pushover configuration both at their web site and on the device.

Take Home Assistant out of the problem equation, just use their command line curl API examples to send a simple message from Linux or Windows. Iterate there until you get a handle on the format. Then reintroduce Home Assistant into the equation:

I narrowed down the problem. I added

sound: default
priority: 1

and that works with sound, though it shows as a Critical Pushover notiification. With Priority as 0, there is no sound. Can someone point me to right direction to get sound even without a Critical notification ?

I believe you said you are iOS platform. I would check your ‘focus’ setting on iOS.

Thanks, that did it. I needed the decond level data:
