Easy multi-channel notifications, adapting a single notification for mail, mobile push or whatever else. Use chimes and voice assistants to alert, or move a PTZ camera to take a snapshot. See the recipes for ideas with Frigate and Alexa

Nothing against what you’ve done here but I achieved something similar with a script that takes parameters like “message” and “severity” and a bunch of booleans “send to phones”, “send to tts”, “send to display” etc. it works with standard HA notifications, pushover, TTS to various speakers, and an MQTT publish to my custom HUB75 panel. It achieves the main objective, to isolate automations from the notification mechanisms, quite well I think. Again nothing against what you’ve done with your solution. Many people don’t seem to consider using a script to add this separation.

It’s an organic solution, you might say. Very much targetted at my setup, but I find it extremely useful. Can add more methods or change existing ones without touching the actual automations. I have about a dozen that call that script in various ways. There’s always improvements to be had. Note the little things: the matrix display doesn’t get the message if no one is in the living room because the display is also equipped with a buzzer and it would be weird if it beeped with no one in the room (the display is turned off if no one is there but that doesn’t stop the beeps).

There’s more I’ll do at some point. Would be good if the TTS did something with the critical flag, like crank the volume or repeat the message a few times etc. Maybe one day.
