Home Assistant - Notification to mobile - alert
The Android app "Home Assistant" offers besides numerous cell phone sensor values in Home Assistant also a very simple way to receive notifications from Home Assistant:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.homeassistant.companion.android&hl=de_AT&gl=US.
Alternatively, the messenger Signal can be used for notifications, see: Send Signal messages via API: signal-cli-rest-api.
Anyone who has published Home Assistant on the internet via https can also use the HTML5 Push Notifications integration:
This allows a notification to be activated in the browser: without any additional app, purely through the browser.
Those who install the Home Assistant app will notice that Home Assistant regularly announces updating the phone sensors after Home Assistant:
Refresh Sensors.
By default, a notification with "Update sensors" is displayed every 15 minutes:
The notice can be easily removed by long pressing on the notification and disabling "SensorWorker":
Deactivating the SensorWorker does not affect the notifications stored in the automations, they still remain active. To receive a notification when an event occurs, an automation can be created for this purpose by clicking on "Configuration" and "Automation":
Notification when a certain value is reached
As an example, I created a notification for monitoring the humidity:
I created a new automation for this notification in Configuration / Automation:
The notification can be tested later with "RUN ACTIONS", but first to the settings of this automation:
service: notify.mobile_app_sm_a405fn
data:
