Hello Community,

Tell me if im wrong but earlier I was able to get snapshot notifications to my Apple Watch, now I started to use snapshot notifications again and I still has an Apple Watch but I cannot see any picture in the notification.

On the phone it works perfectly, when I long press it shows the picture, but on Apple Watch its not possible anymore. There is any trick to enable this?

Second question: Do I need to enable Apple CarPlay notifications somewhere or there is any special thing to enable notifications show up on my CarPlay? Or Maybe is it enough if I add Home Assistant IOS App to exceptions at "Do Not Disturb" mode?

Thank you very much!
Gery

lusty girder Try rebooting your watch

I made a normal Reboot, Turned off. I waited 10 min and turned it back on. Nothing changed, still the same symptoms.

#

Its an Apple Watch 10. Newest official IOS update on it.

I don't have a solution right now, I'll find some time to investigate that, I do have one notification like that that I use daily, but it's a bit different:

data:
  message: 🍪 {{ states('sensor.aqara_pet_feeder_c1_portions_per_day') }}
  title: Noire foi alimentada
  data:
    entity_id: camera.dany_office
    url: homeassistant://navigate/lovelace/pet-feeder?server=default
action: notify.brunoanddany

#

I use the camera ID as "entity_id"
