This looks pretty much perfect. I will definitely give it a shot! thanks!
if it works how i expect it, i will come back and mark this as the solution.
I guess my “WTH” at this point would just be “why the heck isnt this just standard?” if it is easy enough to throw in an ignore list, and some regex ignore patterns, i think this will provide a big benefit.
It took a little time to clean things up, but i went from a peak of ~140 unknown/unavailable. down to zero. now i just need to change the default persistent notification over to a mobile_app notification.
