Hi
is it possible to send a notification to all phones at HA, by making them a group or something? not sending each and every one separately

this works for me
Notifications - Home Assistant (home-assistant.io)

this is sending one by one I want to send in one automation to all phones at once, with out the need to add each phone to the automation

There’s another link in the page vingerha linked that leads you to the provided notification integrations. Depends on what your idea is. SMS, email, HA app, other?

You can create a group with the phones in it and send a notification to all like this

action:
  - service: notify.all_phones
    data: {}

In the notify configuration:

- platform: group
  name: all_phones
  services: 
     - service: mobile_app_phone_1
     - service: mobile_app_phone_2

Just don’t add any phones to the integration. Specify a message but no target and the notification reaches all devices.

isn’t that possible with helpers - groups ?

can’t do that - it doesn’t work with Developer Tools - services

What I can see from the interface is that you can create all kinds of groups but not notify groups

If this solves your question, can you mark it as solution? This may help others with for the same question
