Thansk for the video I’ve a small question. I’ve an automation. if x person left from home and if window/door is open, sent a notification. But looks like if i’m not connected with vpn or nabu case, it’s not working I mean Even though I am away from home, I seem to be at home. Does not update location. If i connected vpn, it’s working. But very strange, other notifcations are working without vpn. I can get notifcations I can receive mobile notifications without access to HA server. What’s wrong? I mean if it can work without vpn/nabu casa account, why location base automation is not working? How can I receive other notifications when I’m not connected with VPN and I don’t have HA access?

I am looking for a way to see some notifications/event history from the remote location (outside of local network) by using *only* a browser pointed to some URL. That way even some TV set with a browser where it is not possible to install any additional software could be used to check the state of the home devices and alarms. Maybe ThingSpeak or something similar where you can access and monitor the data even without logging in.

Hey Bob, thanks! It’s down to personal preference really, and what/if you want to do anything with that notification after. I use mobile notifications for general info and more recently I have been using telegram to report issues such as device disconnection etc. I also use email notifications to log things. I have a console application that then parses info from the email and sticks it in a database which can then be used for pretty graphs etc 😂 . Plenty of weird and wonderful things you can do. Have a play around and see what works best in your use case :)

Mark thanks so much! I do have a question since I am new to all this. I understand I can go to Dev. tools, services, telegram bot- fill the info out (the YAML) and then call the service. but if I want to use this in something ( a automation?) would I just put that YAML from the Dev Tools page into my config file? Then if I wanted to use telegram in a different automation I would just adjust that YAML and paste it in? I am sure this is a super basic question ( I'm pretty slow..) but thank for any guidance here.

Hey Joesph. Hope you are well :) Essentially you re write those parts in the automation. If you change your automation view to the yaml view you can actually just copy and paste the code over.

One thing that always fails this notification on HA. And that is your home network switch to backup internet since the primary one have some sort of outage. For some reason HA struggles to use the backup internet for some period of time (eg 30mins) and if for some reason that period of time you have no internet and there are some notifications needs to be send, well suck to you those notification will never get resend. Because HA is too dumb to handle that, I basically just add a automation based on sensors from my pfsense router primary wan status, if the sensor for WAN interface goes to down state for 1minute, it basically restart HA Core so it can use the backup internet.
