Android, can some notifications be made silent?

[full rune]

when I have push notifications sent to my phone, can I make some from home assistant come in silently and others not?

Yes use different notification channels and configure those settings for each one. You can also do a cool one like alert once that only makes a sound for the first visible notification and not on subsequent ones

does this work for both ios and android? i found it in the documentation. https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notifications-basic/

no, iOS does not have notification channels

how would i do the one that only makes a sound for the first visible notification?

and can this be done on android and ios or only android?

https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/notifications-basic/#alert-once make sure to create a new channel for this. And it's Android only

does alert once mean it will make the sound again after theyre all dismissed/swiped away?
