this used to work to send notifications to all devices including mobile companions. today i found out that it no longer works. i do not want to specify each mobile device one by one

notify:
  - platform: group
    name: notify_all
    services:
      - service: persistent_notification
      - service: html5
      - service: notify

Did you make sure the entity IDs haven't changed?

Looks like you're trying to use notify.notify here?
There has always been a warning against using this.

Be aware that the notify.notify action is shorthand for the first notify action the system can find. It might not work as intended. Choose a specific action to make sure your message goes to the right place.

So I'm hitting a similar issue. I have a bunch of groups setup in configuration.yaml that are no longer getting picked up. I hadn't been following the notifications actions to entities migration plan and so it took me a little while to figure out that notification groups are now setup through the UI. However the notification groups UI is looking for entities.

I have zero notify entities on 2026.3.2 container even though I have 3 Android tablets running the companion app, 1 WearOS app, and two browser sessions setup with notifications. They all still generate notify actions, not entities.

I have one YAML set up notification group, which is still working fine. This is how I've set it up

notify:
  - platform: group
    name: All Phones
    services:
      - action: mobile_app_pixel_10_pro
      - action: mobile_app_pixel_8
