Can you pls let me know which version of iOS you’re on?
This reddit post describes something similar (notifications stop working, but for a completely different app). I’m on iOS17
I’m on 17.7, the latest
Thanks for your feedback. I’m glad to report I did find the cause for iOS not waking with Home Assistant notifications.
Sharing the cause and solution:
- Turns out the HA app is rate-limited to 500 notifications per day. This tablet is installed in a high traffic area, so it was hitting over 500 every once in a while.
- To solve this, I threw a debounce timer into my automation. This extra condition will ensure the wake signal isn’t called more frequently than every 3 minutes (instead of each second or however frequently your motion sensor is triggering). If implementing something similar, replace “automation.kitchen_tablet_display” with whatever your motion sensor wake automation is called.
condition:
- alias: Debounce timer (prevent notifications within 180s)
condition: template
value_template: >-
{{ (as_timestamp(now()) -
as_timestamp(state_attr('automation.kitchen_tablet_display', 'last_triggered') |
default(0)) | int > 180)}}
Could you provide me with a step-by-step guide on how to activate my iPad with a motion sensor? I’m using the current iPadOS 17.x. As mentioned above, I have taken over the automation. What else do I need to set up on my iPad?
