Persistent notifications

[knotty pendant]

Hey folks, I'm trying to figure out how to do persistent notifications with the companion app, but beginning to pull my hair out 🤣

The companion app supports a persistent: true flag, however, this is documented as broken as of Android 14.

No problem, I'll detect notification_cleared and resurface the notification -> Nope, the event doesn't seem to have a way to tell which device cleared the notification. It has a device_id, but this doesn't seem to be a home assistant device id.

No problem, I'll set a custom tag on each notification -> I'd have to hard code every device mobile_app name, there seems to be no way to traverse notify groups in Jinja2

Is there any way to achieve this?

Persistent is broken indeed but it's unfixable as Android does not allow it anymore.

notification_cleared does have context the tells you which user cleared it. Could use a template to map trigger.to_state.context.user_id to the correct device. Of add make an event trigger per person and limit it to a single user.

Thanks, sadly no go I think. User to device is not 1:1 (eg my user has 4 devices)

Only way I think is like you say, tag it for every individual mobile_app, which means I can't use groups

Did you look into trigger.event.data? Maybe device is part of it....
