"didn't you already make this video?" -- stuff changes so fast, and there's always new information that wasn't captured last time. Plus, as a newbie, I'm glad for repeat topics.
Happy to see this update. I watched your last notification video, and in following the iOS steps quickly realized something was different, so a quick read over the documentation online showed me things had just been updated...Excellent work as always!
Thanks again Lewis, you're always on point and explain things well. I struggle reading documentation unless it's specific to what I'm doing and your videos make it possible for me to get the most from home assistant. Happy new year, keep up the great work!
Thank you for this video! I was so intimidated by the documentation about Actionable Notifications in the docs. This got me my first Actionable Notification within the 10 Minutes of the video :D
Very nice! I'm just getting started with HA and your channel has helped a lot. While watching this, I configured an automation to alert me when my garage door is left open and give me a button to close it. It even integrated with my Apple Watch so I don't have to look at my phone. I'm loving HA more every day.
I am have just started researching HA for my house and it seems that your channel is the only one that I have been watching lately. Keep up the great tutorials. I would love to see more DIY projects, specifically adding audio, both listen and response to an application like this video.
This video is super helpful! Is there a way to choose between multiple custom actions? Basically, selecting the custom action just causes the automation to continue, but I would like to have multiple custom options that would involve listening for their identifiers.
Just add more custom actions to this 'Wait for trigger' block, and create unique trigger ID's for them (e.g. 'action1', 'action2') (it's under the three dots menu). Then instead of adding your actions directly below, add a 'Choose' block with template condition {{ wait.trigger.id == 'action1' }} for action 1, etc. It will choose the correct option based on the trigger ID from that action.
Verny nice tutorial! Simple and clear like best teacher. Congratulations! Good to know, that presented solution does not working on the Android 13 (Samsung Galaxy). Will tested on latest iOS version. Push notifications and additional actions working fine, no any image in pop-up message. UPDATE: it working when snapshot is placed "www" folder and as absolute url (...). Otherwise authentication string is required. Thanks a lot!
Good video indeed. Do you have a nice experience with the reolink doorbell? Im just in doubt to buy it. Do you also have the bonus feature implementer? With the live feed of the camera. And are you using an android or ios phone? I just want that live feed in an android noyification but get that not working yet
Very nice joby my man. Even though I saw the release notes, I was wondering how to configure those custom actions. Thanks for the explanation and keep doing the great work for us n00bs :)
One cool best feature I just found: You can use emojis from your IOS and Android device's emoji keyboard to paste them into Notifications! Looks really good.
So creating an actionable notification with one button works as per your great video. However I want to make it with two actionable buttons like this: first button to "Turn-off the lights"; second button to "Turn off the light AND Enable the alarm". How do I make this with 2 separate Event triggers, each having its own associated Actions? This I cannot figure out.
Wonderful to see and learn from you! You have been gifted with the pedagogy that works. Thank you so much for your videos, they help me a lot. In fact, your videos are the best! Thanks so much!
If you are ever planning to expand this video. I would like to learn more about the notification commands and the clear notification. PS: love the cannel
I've seen other video's like this and they helped get me to .75 % of the way to doing this. But I have to say, after watching a few of your video and finally stumbling on to this one I'm very impressed. I am a techie type of person also, but for some reason I just have a block somewhere in my head that doesn't get to finishing stuff like this so your help videos are the best. Question: In your video the notification expands (appears to) automatically or are you pausing the video and expending the notification to show ? Any way, you make the best tutorials I've seen yet, keep it up and thank you.
Hi Lewis, as always amazing work and very clearly explained. I was hoping you might help with having more than one actional custom buttons, I have two buttons showing but how to you work the identification between the triggers, If I have two time delays neither trigger works, it is almost like it needs an if or else type thing. Any help would be amazing to show how to accomplish two or more custom buttons. Cheers Dave
As always.. great video.. well presented and relevant topics. Just wish i'd waited a week before starting to work on my actionable notifications to save me banging my head on the table when thigns weren't quite to plan..
Thanks for the great video again. Spent the last 4 hours with your first video and then this video trying to get it to work on my iphone. I get the image intermittently (but only as a small image at the side of the message) and no buttons at all. Seems like they have changed something again. 6 weeks seems to be a very long time in HA terms.
@@EverythingSmartHome I did - that wasn't the issue. For some reason the yaml 'code' wasn't interpreted at all. I had to open automation.yaml and add it there in order for it to work. But now it does. Thanks a lot for your work!
Hi Lewis, first of all, thanks for the effort you put into this video. It got me up and running in no time. Have you seen any issue with the image not updating in the actionable notification? For me, it appears that even though the image in the Home Assistant source folder is updated, the one that appears in the actionable notification is older. Any suggestions?
What about Notification Channels? Could you make a video about that? That way you can have diffrent sounds for diffrent notifications? Maybe you want one sound for motion detection and another one for when laundry is done?
Hey, great vid as usual ! I wonder if it's possible not to open HA when taping on a notification. I'm sending a time out notification to my daughter's iPad and taping it brings up HA.
Is there a way to make your phone sound an alarm (high volume, even on silent) if for say you are away from home and it gets broken into. That for me is most important. With Smart things literally slept through my house being broken into (I was staying at a friends 'away') because SmartThings only provides a basic notification, like a text sound or email. I had a large companies security system and any time my alarm system went off my phone would go off like a nuclear silo warning! ... couldn't miss it!
Do you have previous programming knowledge? Degree in computer science etc or did you just have to teach yourself all this, I had no idea you could do this with hassio! Just looking at all the trigger stuff gives me anxiety; Your vids are always really easy to follow x
No real previous programming knowledge but I'm just a very technical person by nature and very good at problem solving, I work full-time as a technical engineer also which definetely helps! But yes just self taught haha! Thank you for your very kind words and support, appreciate it! 🙏
@@EverythingSmartHome I couldn't make it work, because if I don't click the first button, it waits for that trigger forever. It can't move on to the next wait for trigger action, so I can't use this button. I can only use one custom action button in a single notification.
Thank you Lewis for the video. I have an android phone running the assistent. How do I access the interface you use in your videos? Sorry for the noob question 😅
Another great video. How are you getting your camera feed to go live so fast? I use Unifi Protect integration and it takes about 15-20 seconds or the live video to show up.
Has anyone figured out how to add a 2nd notification with with a variety of actions just like the first. For example, open garage door that you can close and for the 2nd one acknowledge the door being open and send a message to others in the household. I tried using it independently but only the first notification action would work. I switched it up to a choose function and that would not work either. Thanks in advance!
@@EverythingSmartHome thank you for replying. That’s awesome! I tried on a variety of devices (android and iPad) and changed how I structure the UI automations yet the second command would never work. Might be that I don’t know how to link the condition of a chose option with the wait for trigger action. Could you maybe point me in the right direction or maybe think about a video using a bit more complex automation set like Actionable Notifications PT 2? Thank you so much! Been on this for days!!!!!
Like always, your videos are simple explanations on how to do the MOST COOL stuff with HA. I'm now trying to find something to automate my doorbell. Is there any way to make our doorbell ring on HA and enable us to answer it in there? I'm looking for that but i can't find a way. I already tried with VoIP but ran on some walls and couldn't do it. Do you have any idea?
This is very helpful! What cameras are everyone using that work so well in Home Assistant? I have some Blink cameras and it does not appear that I can get a live feed like this. Thoughts?
Have you tried to mount an SMB/NFS share from TrueNAS to Home Assistant? I have been messing around with it but can't get it to work. This would be from home assistant blue in my case. I realize you probably run HA in a VM or container natively but maybe you can cover it. Use case is for the frigate addon and also a rather larger media collection MP3's etc. Thanks for all the great content!
Behavior on my Android phone is different. I have to open the Notifications to see them all listed, then open the specific Notification, then open the image if I want to see it. Also, the device_id: camera.doorbell method is still not there in Android I guess!
Great video, very informational. Has anyone configured an actionable notification with the option to send Google TTS to Sonos speakers by typing in a message in the notification box from an iPhone. There are a load of videos out there, but some very out of date and don't work correctly.
Good Video! (I am from Germany - sorry for my english 😊) I am searching, how I can integrate my IP Cams on HomeAssistant. I installed MQTT but there is no Button for „camera“ or some picture. Is there anothet tutorial? Thanks a lot!
I wanted to change the color os the notification on the android. The same color for everything doesnt suite right... In case of alarm or leak or something like that, I wanted to get a Red notification in order to get the proper attention
I'm not very good with automations. However based on your video i was able to get it going (message) on my first go. I have it sending an automation that my Side gate was opened. What would I need to do to send a notification if it was still open after 'x' minutes? Thanks
I have followed these instructions to the letter but I do not get a button with the notification, I just receive the notification (title and message) so cannot click to return the event data to HA. I assume something changed in HA since this video was made such that some syntax is keeping the action button from being sent but I cannot see what it is. Any thoughts? (Thanks in advance!)
same here... but you have to press and hold on the notification and you should then get a button, it work then. the button doesn't show up automatically which it really should... is there a way to make it show up without pressing and holding the notification?
Hi! I was happy to find this video, another cool one from you which is so well explained. Just what I was looking for, and I didn't expect it to be this easy! I was wondering...Is 'Displaying camera feed in notification' with Android phones already possible, as far as you know? Thanks a lot for your quick feedback, I can enrich a lot of my automations now :-)
Is there an option to attach the latest motion clip (from frigate) to the message? to open the clip as an action? Also, is it possible to make the notifications persistent? it's so easy to remove them by accident from android notifications. Thanks!! (great content!)
I used to use Prowl. I know there is way to call Prowl with an addition to config.yaml in HA, but I'd rather just use HA ios notifications. But I miss not being able to see all the previous notifications easily (like Prowl). Is there an easy way to set up HA to see all the recent notifications in the same way? thanks ..edit... Don't worry I worked out how to integrate and use Prowl within HA.. gone back to that.. All good 😀
Is there a reason that you do a weight trigger to listen for the action event instead of simply setting it up an automation that listens for that action separate? Thinking of how I would use this, I would have to load up a bunch of triggers and all the places I would use it when if I just had the automation separate, sounds easier to pull off, but I wasn't sure if you did it the way you did it for a reason .
Thank you for the video! As others mentioned, is there a way to have multiple action buttons? In my case, I want to either open the door or open the garage door. I can't find a way to do that. Same as others, I just can't pair the "Wait for" with the other actions.
@@EverythingSmartHome I mean a lovalace dashboard. But instead tapping on "action" like in the video, I want to tap on the notification and open the app in a specific dashboard Like a WhatsApp notification: if I tap on it I can open the app in a specific chat
This is awesome, but im stuck. im working on the "wait for a trigger" action. Trigger type is event, event type is mobile_app_notification_action. Then the event data i have actionName: actionfromabove. i copied/pasted the action from the notification data. i get the notification, with the buttons, but when i click on the button, nothing happens, it just dismisses that notification, seeming like its doing something, but the action that follows never happens. do i have the event type incorrect?
I've been stuck on how to make the 3 available actionable for an android device work. Seems I can only make one fire. I setup 3 but only 1 works. Of you can share an automation or script that would be great
4:38 in my Iphone 13mini it shows the jpg only on right side of notification and in small not like in your video in fullsize ... what is the issue i made?
Hi, great video! just one question- Do you also know how to do critical +actionable notification? I am trying to do something like I must attend to the notification but also it contained actionable button
Thanks for the great video. In iOS, how are you able to tap the notification & it expands the preview images? Mine calls the action to open the dashboard when I tap it. I have to pull down to expand the notification.
Hi love this video, do you see a large popup on an android phone? I receive a sound notification but no popup at all. on 3 different android devices. I can see it is from HA the title matches with what I entered in the automation. I can see the invisible notificatinf when I swipe dor with a timy thumbnail of the snap. All notifications are enabled A
@@davidtjac I got the small popup working now. You need to go in apps settings for HA and then enable the notifications goto the notification category "general' and there enable what you need
Hey Lewis, hello everyone :) i was wondering if I could open my door (nuke smart lock 2.0 + bridge) with that? The idea is when I am arriving at home I'll get a push notification with a button like e.g. "Open Door". By clicking this button the door should open. I know I could use autounlock within the nuki app, but this isn't working for me reliable. So, is this possible? If yes, how does the code has to look like in the "Data" Area of the action in my automation? Or does it have to be via a webhook or something? Thanks.
Hi , nice video. I'm trying to apply to my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 but any attached data is showed in the notification bar. Is necessary an specific android version for working ok? Mine its on Android 10 release.
Hi I made the notification part in Node-RED and notifications are showing up on both iOS and Android. When clicking the action button, it's only the Android Phone events that are being returned to Home Assistant (using the listener for events of type: mobile_app_notification_action). Have you (or any other) experienced that before? Thanks in advance for help :)
Now to the next "full stop" ; If I click the action button while having the notification on my lock screen, nothing happens. I have to be logged into the main screen on the phone for the action to open the HA Companion App, but once logged in I get no pop-up notification at all. I just get a tiny HA icon in the top left of the screen followed by a notification sound. I then have to manually pull down the from the top to expose the list of notifications and from there on, I'm able to follow along with your video again. Is this also not "important information" - or is it just my phone? (from your video at 5:59 it looks like you are also logged into the main screen now - as opposed to the first demo at 4:37) These minor details may seem unimportant to you and other specialists, but to us normal mortal creatures, these are major obstacles. But don't misunderstand me - I really like your videos, and the fact that you do take he time to answer is beyond my wildest expectations 😊👌
No you do not need to be logged in, that would completely defeat the purpose, I'm guessing you've made an error in the configuration, that can cause it to do nothing. I would say that is important information this time so no I didn't skip any steps 😜
@@EverythingSmartHome Maybe it's only me. I tried now using a Galaxy S8+ which has Android 9, and on this phone I didn't get a notification pop-up at all - anywhere! All I got was the little HA icon in the top left corner of the screen, and a sound - both when on the lock screen as well as when logged in. Then, if I opened the notification, it had no picture and no action buttons (?) like I had on the S7Edge. So this is going in the wrong direction. I checked the version of the HA companion App and it is updated to the latest version. I have also thoroughly checked every possible setting in the phoen, that I could think of, and found nothing wrong. Sorry for being such a PITA 😢
Hi and thanks for all your videos! I am under 2021.5.4 (ha and ios app) but I can't see anyx attachment... neither image: nor actions, my iphone app onyl shows me the card with the notif (title & msg) but no image not button/actions... What could I do wrong ? thx

For me (Android in 2023), I have to click on the "drop down" arrow in the notification to see the buttons.
Hi! I was happy to find this video, another cool one from you which is so well explained. Just what I was looking for, and I didn't expect it to be this easy!
I was wondering...Is 'Displaying camera feed in notification' with Android phones already possible, as far as you know?
Thanks a lot for your quick feedback, I can enrich a lot of my automations now :-)
Thanks! No unfortunately not supported on Android yet, only iOS
@@EverythingSmartHome That is very unfortunate indeed :( Thanks for the reply 👌
@@EverythingSmartHome Hey! Still not supported?
Is there an option to attach the latest motion clip (from frigate) to the message? to open the clip as an action?
Also, is it possible to make the notifications persistent? it's so easy to remove them by accident from android notifications. Thanks!! (great content!)
I used to use Prowl. I know there is way to call Prowl with an addition to config.yaml in HA, but I'd rather just use HA ios notifications. But I miss not being able to see all the previous notifications easily (like Prowl). Is there an easy way to set up HA to see all the recent notifications in the same way? thanks ..edit... Don't worry I worked out how to integrate and use Prowl within HA.. gone back to that.. All good 😀
Is there a reason that you do a weight trigger to listen for the action event instead of simply setting it up an automation that listens for that action separate? Thinking of how I would use this, I would have to load up a bunch of triggers and all the places I would use it when if I just had the automation separate, sounds easier to pull off, but I wasn't sure if you did it the way you did it for a reason .
My iPhone shows "missing title" first & then the actionable button. But only pushing "missing title" has function. Sorry for my english.
For iOS, when the notification pops up, do you have to long press to get the action button to pop up?
My HA set up is local only with no external access. Will it still notify me if I’m outside of my home? Or do notifications only work when I’m at home?
awesome. thank you
No, thank you for the comment and support!!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Pavol!!
Nice one as always!
Thanks Martin, appreciate it!
Excellent video!
Thanks Ray!
Thank you for the video! As others mentioned, is there a way to have multiple action buttons? In my case, I want to either open the door or open the garage door. I can't find a way to do that. Same as others, I just can't pair the "Wait for" with the other actions.
2 auto' - 1 with the notifacathion and 2 with 2 or 3 event as triger
Great video as always ;)
I have a question: If I want to open a lovelace card tapping on notification? There is a way to do it?
You can open to a Lovelace dashboard as shown in this video but I'm not sure what you mean by opening a card?
@@EverythingSmartHome I mean a lovalace dashboard. But instead tapping on "action" like in the video, I want to tap on the notification and open the app in a specific dashboard
Like a WhatsApp notification: if I tap on it I can open the app in a specific chat
Yes you can do that I'm pretty sure, check the home assistant companion app docs
This is awesome, but im stuck. im working on the "wait for a trigger" action. Trigger type is event, event type is mobile_app_notification_action. Then the event data i have actionName: actionfromabove.
i copied/pasted the action from the notification data. i get the notification, with the buttons, but when i click on the button, nothing happens, it just dismisses that notification, seeming like its doing something, but the action that follows never happens. do i have the event type incorrect?
I've been stuck on how to make the 3 available actionable for an android device work. Seems I can only make one fire. I setup 3 but only 1 works. Of you can share an automation or script that would be great
Great Vid! 👍
4:38 in my Iphone 13mini it shows the jpg only on right side of notification and in small not like in your video in fullsize ... what is the issue i made?
Hi, there is a way to add custom sound to android notifications? Thank you!
Hi, great video! just one question- Do you also know how to do critical +actionable notification? I am trying to do something like I must attend to the notification but also it contained actionable button
Thanks! Good question - not actually tried because I don't use iOS, but hop into the discord and I'm sure someone can help you out!
Thanks for the great video. In iOS, how are you able to tap the notification & it expands the preview images? Mine calls the action to open the dashboard when I tap it. I have to pull down to expand the notification.
Thanks! I'm not an iOS user so borrowed my partner's phone for this but I think you press and hold
Thanks for your videos. They are great. Could you speak a little bit slower?
Great video! Is there the ability using a similar method to snooze getting such notifications for a specified time?
Thanks! Sure you should be able to do a wait_for combined with a delay I guess!
@@EverythingSmartHome aha interesting. I’ll see what I can figure out. Thanks!
Is there a way to make the action open an app that is installed on the phone using the com.appname
How do you make it so there is more than 1 custom action button. I can’t get it to work
I'm using a duckdns page. I can get the notifications fine but no images or video attached.
Hi love this video, do you see a large popup on an android phone? I receive a sound notification but no popup at all. on 3 different android devices. I can see it is from HA the title matches with what I entered in the automation. I can see the invisible notificatinf when I swipe dor with a timy thumbnail of the snap.
All notifications are enabled A
I'm also having problems - possibly some changes in HA in last year - I guess....
@@davidtjac I got the small popup working now. You need to go in apps settings for HA and then enable the notifications goto the notification category "general' and there enable what you need
Hey Lewis, hello everyone :)
i was wondering if I could open my door (nuke smart lock 2.0 + bridge) with that? The idea is when I am arriving at home I'll get a push notification with a button like e.g. "Open Door". By clicking this button the door should open.
I know I could use autounlock within the nuki app, but this isn't working for me reliable. So, is this possible? If yes, how does the code has to look like in the "Data" Area of the action in my automation? Or does it have to be via a webhook or something?
Thanks.
Does it still works on Android 14?
What android version you need for the image to be open big
Great stuff 👏👏
Thanks Steve!!
Wonder can android show the live stream now??
Everything is working well but the action button, I got the same name for the "action name", but when I press the button nothing happens
Hi Lewis, do you mind sharing your frigate automation for iOS/Android notification video/pics?
Hello! Which one sorry? From this video?
I cant seem to get the action for disarm alarm to disarm the alarm, it seems to stop at the wait for trigger element
Hi , nice video.
I'm trying to apply to my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 but any attached data is showed in the notification bar. Is necessary an specific android version for working ok? Mine its on Android 10 release.
Hello, I'm not sure what you mean sorry!
@@EverythingSmartHome yes, i can´t see any picture or video in my notification, just text. using android app in Note 20 (andorid 11)
Hi
I made the notification part in Node-RED and notifications are showing up on both iOS and Android. When clicking the action button, it's only the Android Phone events that are being returned to Home Assistant (using the listener for events of type: mobile_app_notification_action). Have you (or any other) experienced that before?
Thanks in advance for help :)
Now to the next "full stop" ; If I click the action button while having the notification on my lock screen, nothing happens. I have to be logged into the main screen on the phone for the action to open the HA Companion App, but once logged in I get no pop-up notification at all. I just get a tiny HA icon in the top left of the screen followed by a notification sound. I then have to manually pull down the from the top to expose the list of notifications and from there on, I'm able to follow along with your video again. Is this also not "important information" - or is it just my phone? (from your video at 5:59 it looks like you are also logged into the main screen now - as opposed to the first demo at 4:37) These minor details may seem unimportant to you and other specialists, but to us normal mortal creatures, these are major obstacles.
But don't misunderstand me - I really like your videos, and the fact that you do take he time to answer is beyond my wildest expectations 😊👌
No you do not need to be logged in, that would completely defeat the purpose, I'm guessing you've made an error in the configuration, that can cause it to do nothing. I would say that is important information this time so no I didn't skip any steps 😜
@@EverythingSmartHome Maybe it's only me. I tried now using a Galaxy S8+ which has Android 9, and on this phone I didn't get a notification pop-up at all - anywhere!
All I got was the little HA icon in the top left corner of the screen, and a sound - both when on the lock screen as well as when logged in.
Then, if I opened the notification, it had no picture and no action buttons (?) like I had on the S7Edge. So this is going in the wrong direction.
I checked the version of the HA companion App and it is updated to the latest version.
I have also thoroughly checked every possible setting in the phoen, that I could think of, and found nothing wrong.
Sorry for being such a PITA 😢
is there a way to push notification on android auto ?
Hi and thanks for all your videos! I am under 2021.5.4 (ha and ios app) but I can't see anyx attachment... neither image: nor actions, my iphone app onyl shows me the card with the notif (title & msg) but no image not button/actions... What could I do wrong ? thx
Are you pressing and holding the notification to reveal the extra info?
@@EverythingSmartHome i am so 🤬😶🌫️👹, i was just clicking the notif.... thx for your help and your work
