@TechConnectify I think I'll adopt your notification philosphy for my #HomeAssistant when I set it back up in my new home
@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"
