Repeated Critical Notification

Configuration
1

I see with alert I can have repeated notifications, but I don’t see how to configure those as critical (ring even if do not disturb is on). I also see I can configure a single critical notification, but it’s not repeated. Is there a ‘best of both worlds’ option here? I just got a water leak sensor and I’m afraid I’ll sleep through the single critical notification, and won’t even notice the repeated alerts if my phone is on silent.

Not sure if this is new, but there’s a repeat option for actions in automations now. Made this super simple.

- alias: Leak Detected
  mode: single
  description: Water Heater is leaking
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.water
    to: 'on'
  action:
  - repeat:
      while:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: binary_sensor.water
        state: 'on'
      sequence:
      - service: notify.mobile_app_pixel
        data:
          title: Water Heater is leaking.
          message: TTS
          data:
            ttl: 0
            priority: high
            channel: alarm_stream_max
      - delay: 00:00:05

You could try a notify group (even if the group only has one notify service is in). This should let you pass additional arguments to the service.
