Send notification to sidebar notifications?

Configuration

Is it possible to send notifications to the sidebar notification field in Home Assistant Core? I would like to be able to view some notifications there, in addition to the other platforms.

Yes you can using the persistent notification service.

Excellent! Thank you!

EDIT: Is it possible to use this platform in a notification group? I tried adding service: persistent_notification.create to my notification group but this did not work.

notify:
  - name: notify_all
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: persistent_notification.create
      - service: html5
      - service: mobile_app_aron_android_app
      - service: mobile_app_linda_android_app

Still looking for an solution to this… Anyone knows how to include the persistent_notification service in a notification group?

- platform: group
  name: notification_for_updates
  services: 
    - service: notification_persistent
      data_template:
        message: "{{ message }}"
        title: "{{ title }}"
        target: "{{ notification_id }}"
- name: notification_persistent
  platform: rest
  resource: 'http://localhost:8123/api/services/persistent_notification/create'
  method: POST_JSON
  headers:
    authorization: !secret hass_access_token_persistent_notification
    content-type: 'application/json'
  message_param_name: message
  title_param_name: title
  target_param_name: target

Adapt it to your needs. :slight_smile:

Hi,

persistent notifications are great but there’s no sound when you receive it.
Is it possible to have a sound notification when you receive a persistent notification ?
