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.notifyaction 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.

notifications groups using notification actions are still set up using YAML.
Some integrations now provide notificatoins entities, those can be grouped in the GUI.
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
