@TechConnectify I think I'll adopt your notification philosphy for my #HomeAssistant when I set it back up in my new home
Thibaultmol 🌈@hellomiakoda @TechConnectify btw, if you're sending notifications from #HomeAssistant to an Android phone, you can also specify a 'channel' field which then allows you on your phone to give different sounds/vibrations for each channel you specify.
So I have a channel called 'loud' and then any notification being sent with that channel will make a very noticeable sound that's different from normal notifications.

it's not really documented well for some reason though.

How to create a custom notification channel?
Just put it in an action, it will be automatically created after send the notification. Try it in the developer tools: http://homeassistant.local:8123/developer-tools/action action: notify.mobile_app_<your_mobile_device_id> data: message: "Hey Brother!" data: # For Android only channel: "Critical"
@thibaultmol @TechConnectify I'm on Linux Phone, and unfortunately, there's no Home Assistant app for Linux Mobile for some reason. I get those notifications via Gotify. Though, I suppose, since it's just done with curl, I could easily make some more keys to separate them. Though, setting different sounds on Linux Mobile is VERY limited and half broken. Lost of stuff just doesn't make any sound when it should, and none of them let me use different sounds for different things.
@thibaultmol @TechConnectify But, at least at home where notifs are sounds, instead of speaking, I could have a lot of them just be unobtrusice tones. Maybe... I have to think what that will and won't work with for me. Exampe - I NEED the reminder to clean the HVAC filter to speak and be irritating, or it'll never get done.
