Wondering if anyone else is running into this issue or has a solution for this. I have a notification that brings up a todo list on my mobile device when it enters a geolocation. The automation works just fine and has been working…however a while back there was a snafu with todo lists on a home assistant update (about a month or two ago) and this has been an issue for me ever since …when the automation runs; HA throws these errors. I have reviewed the automation many times and i don’t find anything wrong… Is anyone else experiencing this? Or what can i do to fix it? Do i need to raise a git hub issue? …because this seems to be an issue with todo lists in general as i have a few other todo lists that seem to fail/disappear every time i create them.
I have not.
I have 2 steps in the automation, one worked fine, the other seems to throw an error when i test it out in ‘services’.
The first error complains about not finding my phone.
Have you looked at the automation traces?
Also: if you want to send a notification to your phone, it has to be known.
In the Developer Tools → SERVICES: try to call the 'notify.mobile_app_ to see what it does.
strangely, there are no traces for any mobile notification that uses a todo list… (I know this automation had just did a ‘production’ run today.

Andrew, sorry man but I have no idea what might be wrong.
You could try to break that automation down and/or use alternatives to understand what is really wrong.
Just an idea: if I troubleshoot an automation, I use scripts so you’re not dependent on triggers and conditions.
I think I’m going to go the route of rebuilding my HA instance from scratch in a new VM…really sucks because I’m about 2 years deep into it, but my OS has been really unstable since the past couple of updates…ever since todo lists was introduced HA has basically become unreliable to the point where i will just get hass.io disconnect notifications on my desktop…indicating that HA has just died for no reason.
I’ve tried restoring from backups, but that doesn’t help and now with the most recent update, I can’t even do it. Supervisor updates, then refuses to boot and reverts back to 2024.4.1…all that said, thanks for the attempt.
Unless I’m missing something, you’re not sending a todo list but a url to it.
So you’re calling a script and pass on the data?
The trace should either be in the main automation or in the script.
I think you don’t see traces because the script doesn’t run.
About you’re HA instance: your issue could be related, or not.
Maybe by starting over, you get the chance to review your backup strategy…
