I've got so many things set up to send my phone notifications and I've just discovered you can delete them automatically from your phone. What usually happens is I end up with a long list and and up missing things. Yes I could send less of them but what's the fun in that.
Here are some examples:
- Notification when my partner leaves work with an ETA, clears when she arrives home.
- Reminders to put out bins/recycling which clears when they are detected out using LLM Vision.
- Washing machine finished repeating notifications until I open the door which clear when you open it.
- Doorbell notifications clear when the door is opened.
How to set up:
- Put this in the data field of a notify action: tag: "your_tag_here". If you send a second notification with the same tag it will replace the old one instead of sending a second.
- To delete any notifications with that tag send another notification with the message: clear_notification and in the data field put: tag: "your_tag_here"
- This seems to work for android and IOS.
Was getting a bit overwhelmed with too many notifications and thought this was worth sharing in case it helps anyone else.
