group notify not working?? | Home Assistant | Page 1

I have tried to add the following block in my configuration.yaml, but no new notification service is available. According to the docs (and all info I find on forums), this should work. I have tried action instead of service but with no luck..

notify:
  - platform: group
    name: "Test_Notification"
    services:
      - service: mobile_app_t14

restarted HA?

#

looks valid to me, but please format your code correctly to be sure

shell fernBOT Nov 3, 2024, 2:40 PM

#

To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.
```yaml
example: here
```
Don't forget you can edit your post rather than repeatedly posting the same thing.

Same issue here, how the hell do you make groups? I have a oneplus 12 & poco F3

vocal sentinel Nov 3, 2024, 2:46 PM

#

yes restarted HA, no luck..

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 2:46 PM

notify:

platform: group

- service: mobile_app_poco_f3

vocal sentinel I have tried to add the following block in my configuration.yaml, but no new not...

The indentation is off, name: and services have one additional space compared to platform

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 2:47 PM

#

charred agate notify: - platform: group name: all_devices services: - service:...

Please use code formatting

vocal sentinel Nov 3, 2024, 2:48 PM

#

proper peak The indentation is off, `name:` and `services` have one additional space compare...

That was just here in discord, fixed it with proper formatting now 😉

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 2:48 PM

#

Okay

#

This way it looks fine (besides that a group with one member doesn't make much sense to me 😉)

#

Where did you place this code?

vocal sentinel Nov 3, 2024, 2:49 PM

#

in configuration.yaml

#

Reason is: I want to make my automations independent of my actual phones. Whenever I change phone I need to update multiple automations and scripts. I thought a group could give me a nice way of just changing it once

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 2:50 PM

#

Did you already have another section using the notify: key?

#

Back ticks, pointing the other way. And also see the last line of the bot message

#

You can copy-paste the back ticks from the bot message if needed

notify:
  - platform: group
    name: all_devices

Anything in the log @vocal sentinel ?

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

@proper peak How can I test this in dev tools? How should the exact service be called?

#

notify.all_devices?

vocal sentinel Nov 3, 2024, 2:54 PM

#

proper peak Anything in the log <@602153677691813910> ?

Not that I can see..

vocal sentinel Nov 3, 2024, 2:55 PM

#

charred agate notify.all_devices?

That's what the doc says yes, but not working for me...

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 2:56 PM

#

#

This action works but no notification

vocal sentinel Nov 3, 2024, 2:56 PM

#

Guess you tried to restart too?

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 2:56 PM

#

Yep

vocal sentinel Nov 3, 2024, 2:57 PM

#

charred agate This action works but no notification

Docs says there should be a separate action for the all devices now, not the general one you screenshot here..

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 3:00 PM

#

charred agate

That's not right action

#

What's the YAML for that one?

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

The problem is that no new service is being created

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 3:07 PM

#

The screenshot above looks like it's for a notify group called notificationgroup

#

Did you create that one in another part of your configuration?

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

That one I have not created

#

It was there already

#

@vocal sentinel Can you create a group from UI in Devices>Helpers?

#

I cannot

#

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 3:25 PM

#

That only works for notify entities, only a few integrations moved to notify entities yet

#

File is one of them

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 3:27 PM

#

vocal sentinel Reason is: I want to make my automations independent of my actual phones. Whenev...

That'll also make this a non lasting solution, as also the companion apps will move to notify entities at one point

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 3:28 PM

#

@proper peak So how do you normally group these?

#

#

I tried in conf.YAML etc

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

The only way to group notify services is what you posted above

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

Lets see if there are no open issues for this

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

Creating the notify group in YAML

#

I have one as well which still works fine on 2024.11.0b2 and never had issues

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 3:30 PM

#

Can you try to recreate one for the sake of science 😄

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 3:34 PM

#

notify:
  - platform: group
    name: all_phones
    services:
      - service: mobile_app_pixel_7_pro
      - service: mobile_app_marleen_app

  - platform: tts
    name: tts_beneden
    tts_service: tts.google_cloud_say
    media_player: media_player.beneden_groep
    
  - platform: group
    name: Test Discord
    services:
      - service: mobile_app_pixel_7_pro

#

Works like a charm

FF proberen/let me try

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 3:36 PM

#

I added the last one, the first two were already there

charred agate Nov 3, 2024, 3:36 PM

#

I am officially a donkey

#

I was in the wrong configuration.yaml the whole time

#

Retrying

#

It works

#

@vocal sentinel I was editing the wrong configuration.yaml

#

Maybe take a step back and make sure you do not make the same mistake

vocal sentinel Nov 3, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

hehe, I only have one of those files 😉

#

giving up

proper peak Nov 3, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

Can you post your entire configuration.yaml

You can also share it using a code sharing site

shell fernBOT Nov 3, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

Please use a code share site to share code or logs, for example:

https://dpaste.org/ (select YAML for the language, and consider picking a longer expiry)
http://pastie.org/ (select YAML for the language)
https://paste.debian.net/ (you guessed it, select YAML as the language)

Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view. Please also don't share text as images since it makes it harder for people to help you. Remember that others may have colour blindness, impaired vision, etc.
