Hey all

I'm trying to figure out how to create a notification group. Is it only available in YAML even though there's a UI for it now?

Notifications are a bit weird since each device is implemented as a service rather than an entity_id passed as a parameter.

Those groups just work for notify entities, not notify action calls (like companion apps).

#

Newer integrations provide said notify entities, but older ones don't (yet).

Right, that's what I've feared 🙁

#

So as it stands, only option is to either send individual notifications to companion app or create a YAML group with:

notify:

  • name: ALL_DEVICES
    platform: group
    services:
    • action: mobile_app_iphone_one
    • action: mobile_app_iphone_two
    • action: mobile_app_ipad_one
    • action: mobile_app_pixel_4_xl

Correct.
