I installed the app from SideQuest and was able to log in and enable a number of sensors, but at the top of the Companion App page, it says it doesn't have permission to send notifications. Pressing the button to take me to settings takes me to the Quest Settings app notification page, but the Home Assistant app isn't listed there.

If I open the Android Settings app and go to the Apps section, I can see the Home Assistant app and have given it every permission including notification access with popups and ignoring DnD. Even so, notifications won't pop up on the screen and only silently appear in the notifications tab of the floating menu

they will never popup on the screen, thats controlled via Meta AFAIK

Oh lame

#

Kinda useless to get notifications if you don't know you've even gotten them

#

I'll never understand why we put up with modern OSs being so locked down

#

on the headset, maybe TTS notifications will be better if you can hear it?

#

but yea last time i looked into it the notifications had to be scheduled but you also had to be in the meta app store which we are not yet

#

there were a lot of limits in that area

Can you send TTS to the quest? I don't see a media_player entity for it

#

rightfully so, you dont want to do be on your headset and get bombarded by poor apps

#

And by "yet" do you mean it's being worked on to add it to the Quest store?

I mean, that's why you can turn notifications off, no?

Trying to send a notify with TTS says it goes through, but nothing actually happens on the headset

#

action: notify.mobile_app_quest_3
data:
  message: "TTS"
  data:
    tts_text: "This is a test"

#

Volume is at 100% so it's not that

#

you can try checking errors in teh logs, i cant recall if i actually tested if that worked on the headset or not

I'm not seeing anything in the logs regarding the Quest or the notify action in general
