#Getting my phone to ring, reliably.

Hi folks.

I use home assistant for my doorbell. Everything I've seen online says "no problem, set a notification with a custom ringtone", so I did that. Here's my YAML from the automation:

data:
  title: Doorbell
  message: Someone has pressed the doorbell
  data:
    ttl: 0
    priority: high
    image: /api/camera_proxy/camera.doorbell
    media_stream: alarm_stream_max
    channel: Doorbell
    importance: max
    clickAction: /lovelace/driveway
    tag: doorbell
    actions:
      - action: open_gate
        title: Open Gate
action: notify.residents_and_wall_tablets

In spite of all that, fairly regularly, my phone will receive the notification completely silently, no ringtone.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to either fix or a better solution to this problem?

This is personally how I achieve this:

action: notify.mobile_app_phone_maxi_fold7
data:
  title: Phone Lost?
  message: Phone Found!
  data:
    ttl: 0
    priority: high
    channel: alarm_stream

It bypasses my DND as well
