One of the great features of the Android companion app to me is the critical notification functionallity as described here: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/critical-notifications
Up to now, the alarm_stream_max worked flawless as a spoken message at max volume from my phone, regardless whether it is on silence mode or whatsoever. For this, my automation looks like:
- service: notify.mobile_app_galaxy_blablaphone
data:
message: TTS
title: Attention! The alarm has been triggered
data:
ttl: 0
priority: high
channel: alarm_stream_max
Suddenly, this functionallity has stopped working. If I now remove
channel: alarm_stream_max
The voice notification works again, but aligned with the phone setting (volume, silent, etc.). This is undesired.
Phone: Galaxy S10+
One UI V3.0
Android V11
Knox 3.7 - API L33
Does anyone else experience the same? This functionallity is of importance to me since it is part of the home security system and an alert should be known to me asap…
Do others also experience this behavior?
