Title.
I have some alerts set up like so:
dev_dryer_done:
name: The Dryer is done
entity_id: input_boolean.dev_dryer_done
title: "The Dryer is Done"
message: "Empty it!"
state: 'on'
repeat: 30
skip_first: 'false'
notifiers:
- mobile_app_pixel_3
- chrome
data:
tag: alert_dev_dryer_done
channel: low_priority
actions:
- action: android_dryer_20
title: 20 min Later
- action: android_dryer_40
title: 40 min Later
data:
sticky: 'true'
When the dryer is finished, the input_boolean is triggered and I get a notification to the android app. Excellent. It’s tagged alert_dev_dryer_done (or at least I think it is - more on that below)
I am trying to set up some automations to dismiss these kinds of notifications - so if I open the dryer, which has a door sensor on it, HA turns off the input_boolean and also sends a clear_notification message with the accompanying tag so that it clears the notification I obviously don’t need anymore. When I try to do a service call doing just that, I’ve formatted my json like this:
{
"message": "clear_notification",
"data": {
"tag": "alert_dev_dryer_done"
}
}
But when I do that, the notification generated through the alert component isn’t dismissed.
If I create that same ‘dryer done’ notification directly with a service call (i.e. not using the alert component, see below) my clear_notification call above works fine. It’s only when the alert component creates the initial notification that things seem to go pear shaped.
{
"message": "Empty it.",
"title": "Dryer is Done!",
"data": {
"actions": [
{
"action": "android_bri_dryer_20",
"title": "20 min Later"
},
{
"action": "android_bri_dryer_40",
"title": "40 min Later"
}
],
"tag": "alert_dev_dryer_done",
"data": {
"sticky": "true"
}
}
}
SO! my guess is I’m not properly tagging the notifications with my yaml I copied up at the top, and that’s why the clear_notification message isn’t working - the initial message wasn’t tagged right, so it can’t find anything to clear with that tag.
But all of my experimenting hasn’t found a working way to tag those messages using alerts…
