Enhance notifications

Hi, I installed HASS.Agent today and I have a couple of questions about notifications: - is it possible to change the notification style and make it more prominent? E.g. a pop-up window - is it possible to create an automation that continues differently depending on the answer on the notification itself? E.g. clicking the Ok or the Cancel button? Thank you for your assistance.

hello 🙂

is it possible to change the notification style and make it more prominent? E.g. a pop-up window

not atm I'm afraid, HASS.Agent uses the windows API to show notifications, creating a popup ones would basically mean creating our own framework from ground up (not saying that it won't happen sometime, just not possible atm ootb)

is it possible to create an automation that continues differently depending on the answer on the notification itself? E.g. clicking the Ok or the Cancel button?

yup, for example: notification call:

service: notify.amadeo_pc
data:
  title: Some msg title
  message: Test msg
  data:
    image: >-
      https://smea.uw.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2017/03/CURRENTSBLOG_Cat_2.jpg
    actions:
      - action: "yes"
        title: "Yes"
      - action: "no"
        title: "No"
    inputs:
      - id: testId
        text: testText
        title: testTitle

service: notify.amadeo_pc
data:
  title: Some msg title
  message: Test msg
  data:
    image: >-
      https://smea.uw.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2017/03/CURRENTSBLOG_Cat_2.jpg
    actions:
      - action: "yes"
        title: "Yes"
      - action: "no"
        title: "No"
    inputs:
      - id: testId
        text: testText
        title: testTitle

response/action automation in HA:

alias: HASS Notification test
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: hass_agent_notifications
    event_data:
      action: "yes"
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.amadeo_pc
    data:
      message: "{{ trigger.event.data.input.testId }}"
      title: Action Response
mode: single

alias: HASS Notification test
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: hass_agent_notifications
    event_data:
      action: "yes"
condition: []
action:
  - service: notify.amadeo_pc
    data:
      message: "{{ trigger.event.data.input.testId }}"
      title: Action Response
mode: single

This is great, thank you! And it is possible to trigger a response/action in HA if there is no answer within a timeout from the notification (e.g. if the user is AFK)?

hm, I'm terrible at HA automations (I use nodered mostly) but I'm quite sure that it's possible just don't know how 😄
