WTH - cant I define the color of HA notifications in ios (from automations)

Month of "What the heck?!"

I use a lot of notifications from HA to ios. Some informative, some important, some irrelevant :blush:. It is a lot of notifications and its hard to determine if it is urgent or not without reading the actual message.

It would be nice if it was posible to define the color of the icon in the notification settings in HA.

e.g. It would be so easy to see the color of the icons at a glance without reading the text - and then u know if it is urgent or not (eg alarm, broken water pipe, sunset etc)

I know there is an option to change the generel icon in the ios app, but thats not quite what im looking for :eyes:

What im realy looking for is something down this ally:

actions:
  - data:
      message: HA is comming online
      title: HASSIO
    action: notify.all_phones
    icon_color: green

just a simple setting for what color the ios notification icon should be :cowboy_hat_face:

(I sometimes use push/sound/critical - but in some situations sound is not an option - so colors would be great)

      data:
        push:
          sound:
            name: MultiwayJoin.caf
            critical: 1
            volume: 1

happy WTH

iOS does not support that.

Alternative:
Send an image that represents the color you want within the notification so it will show on the right side, then at least you have the indication you want.

Or even easier, use emojis :red_circle::green_circle::large_blue_circle:

The only context that the icon can change is in a ā€œchatā€, where it displays the person image instead.
