I have quite some automations that send a notification to my phone, e.g. when the dishwasher is done. As far as I can tell, when creating the Notify part of the automation, I can only select a specific device to send the notification to.
The problem is that all those automations broke when I got a new phone, as the new device with the new companion app has a different ID or entity and thus won’t receive the notifications. Manually fixing the automations is tedious.
It would be great if I just can select a person or a user account that should get the notification. Even better if I can select multiple recipients at once. HA should be able to figure out which devices to target.
I read some workarounds with creating groups to put devices in, but that’s still a bit hostile isn’t it?
