[@MarkSnop]

Thank you for the help. Save me a lot of time. Great video as always.

[@benilev7328]

thank you for the great video!When I'm on the same network of HOME ASSISTANS the phone makes the necessary sound When the phone is working on the cellular network {not in the local network} the phone does not make the required sound {does not make the sound} Is there a solution

[@onnodekker6799]

Hi Mark, thank you for the great video. I'm a Android user and searching for a while for a clear instruction how to use critical notification on Android 11. Could you do a video about this or do you perhaps know someone who did? Thank you.

[@MarkWattTech]

Sure :) I will add it to the list 😁

[@bowentz]

Great video. Not sure what custom sounds I will use but I know my wife will hate it. 😉

[@MarkWattTech]

They always do ;)

[@venkatesanmurugan3931]

hi Mr.mark, how can I get a continuous sound notification when my motion detected as like a ringtone kindly provide the best solution

[@emarinzea65]

Hi son nice video, I'm from Mexico, , already done this notifications , only n local LAN ,I can¡t do on internet, can you help me ?

[@blopak2]

Hi Mark. For the custom sound... do you know any way that save to wav file an Alexa tts? so I cant make my own alexa speach? Thanks in advance. P.S please make a video of Alexa Actionable Notifications!!! Regards.

[@MarkWattTech]

Check out my Alexa Custom MP3s video :) it might be what your after. You can create your own audio for Alexa to use in automations etc. I also have an Alexa TTS video so you can get Alexa to say things. I do Plan on covering Alexa Actionable Notifications :)

[@blopak2]

​@@MarkWattTech Thanks for your answer Mark. What I mean to say is that Alexa says somethings that I wrote, there's any way to capture they voice on a mp3/wav file so I can put on a companion app notifications :D

[@MarkWattTech]

@@blopak2 as in to record Alexas voice and use that audio on the companion? If thats what you mean, I would just use the Alexa TTS on your PC, record that snippet on your PC and use that file :)

[@blopak2]

@@MarkWattTech ups... there's posible to run TTS on a PC? sorry, I didn't knew that.. How can I do that? sorry for bothering you. What if I was trying, was to connect the audio output of the echo to the pc ... but I could not capture the audio. :D

I've been binge-watching your videos! Amazing job mate! Question: what if I want to play custom notifications on a Homepod mini, not my iPhone? For example, a "welcome home" message when my phone latches to WiFi network and I unlock the smart lock?

[@MarkWattTech]

Thanks Mate appreciate it. I'm not 100% sure with the Homepod mini as it's just one bit of Tech I am yet to have a play with. Are they targetable as media players? I think you might be able to make use of something like the AirSonos Addon which will let you talk to AirPlay devices. You could then use the Native HA Cloud TTS service (Which I personally think is the best most natural sounding TTS).

[@AlexValtchev]

Great video! However, I tried it on Android and is not working. :( I googled the issue and ask Bard, apparently there is no such thing for Android nor is planned one. Also there are no critical notifications as yet.

[@jeepdog5]

I couldn’t get the critical alert to work. I even made sure Critical Alerts were enabled under iOS settings for HA.

[@MarkWattTech]

Are you getting an error or anything?

[@jeepdog5]

I think my yaml line spacing was off. I copied your code and it worked.

[@BrianRoy86]

I have this set up already but was hoping there was a way to do it without uploading the sound to each phone I want to use it on. Bummer

[@MarkWattTech]

I don’t think there currently is 😐. I would also like it if you could play them on the Apple Watch.

[@Tmcmaster]

Hi Mark, verry good video. I like to watch your videos since it simple and easy to understand. Is this possible with android aswell? Can you make a video about this or is there any tutorial you know of? I couldnt find any information on the website of HA.

[@MarkWattTech]

Thanks for the feedback :) I haven’t looked for android as I am primarily an iOS user. Im actually awaiting some new Android devices and will happily put something together then. Cheers.

[@K3yBon]

would love to see an android version! 😊

[@MarkWattTech]

I believe the same process will work with Android as it uses the HA app :)

[@K3yBon]

@@MarkWattTech oh sweet will test that out tonight! 😁

[@socalgal007]

Great video. Like your style of teaching. To the point 👏

[@MatTeague]

Thanks for the video and really useful but the voice to me doesn’t sound anything like Morgan Freeman 😂

[@MrCardeso]

It didn't work, so I thought it was because I was not subscribed. I subscribed and it still did not work. Then, I realized I don't have an iOS phone!

[@BenutzernameXY]

Critical: 0.5 sounds better
