Push Notifications now available!

this saved me :slight_smile:
I added the mobile_app and logged out and in again from the app, and did the trick. thanks

Odd it works fine for me, that’s the whole point of friendly names. You’re restarting HA after renaming?

The above example from Reditt worked too… Nice one. Only installed Telegram yesterday for android notifications. Looks like there is no need now.

Does the location service and notifcations work even if my HA instance isn’t available externally?

@Bobby_Nobble that is not true. Changing the device name does NOT change the name of the service call. In fact, if you have 2 of the same model phones you will only get one to work because it is the same name. I had to modify the contents in /.storage/config_entries and change the names in there and restart home assistant to get the service calls to update the names. This works and then both phones each get a service call.

@HeedfulCrayon check out the thread here https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/e9tw98/home_assistant_for_android_120_now_supports_push/
someone posted and you need to modify the /.storage/config_entries file to get the service call to change.

Does this require HA 0.103? I restarted my HA after opening the app, but there are no new notification services :frowning:

No. mobile_app: has been available for many months

I added it to my config. Opened the app, restarted HA - no service :frowning: I opened the app several more times and restarted HA also several times - no new service for push :frowning: What else can be wrong?? HA 0.103

Log out and back in in the app from your profiles page, that fixed it for me. Simply re-opening the app didn’t work for me either.

Should I be able to use the slider for push notifications on my profile page, or are they enabled by default when using the mobile app?

The slider is for HTML5 notifications. NOT the android notifications. Android push notifications are already enabled.

I had to clear the cache and storage in the app before it would show up.

I’ve cleared cache and storage several times, deleted the device and integration entries, and rebooted HA countless times, but I’m not seeing an android app notification service. Appreciate the info about the slider. I can stop being bothered that it’s grayed out. HA 0.103.0 with “mobile_app:” in the config.

you need “mobile_app:” or “default_config:” in your configuration.yaml

Did anybody manage to attach a foto to the notification as mentioned in on reddit and in the beginning of this thread?

I will state again, that this works. Yes.

As a new commer to home assistant, can someone tell me what app this is.
A link would be great.

Thanks

ok, I got the example working WITH foto. But I am not able to attach a local snapshot of my security-camera.

I guess, it’s just a reference and you can not attach binary data. makes sense

Are /local images working for anyone?
