Blueprints

[elmar-hinz]

I just discovered a new corner of HA, Blueprints. One of the few prebuilt blueprints is actually closely related to the topic of actionable notifications. They call it confirmable notifications and it is targeted do Smartphones.

I think it could bring some progress to offer this kind of user friendly configuration for *actionable notifications * as well.

Path the the file behind the form:

/config/blueprints/script/homeassistant/confirmable_notification.yaml

Yup I use this too, when Im far away from my alexa it send a notification to my phone.
Yes I agree we should make a blueprint for this, would reduce issues due to miss configuration etc.

What do you think of this @elmar-hinz

alias: Alexa Home Voice Ask
description: Activates an actionable notification on a specific echo device
fields:
  text:
    description: The text you would like alexa to speak.
    example: What would you like the thermostat set to?
  event_id:
    description: Correlation ID for event responses
    example: ask_for_temperature
  suppress_confirmation:
    description: If it should supress the Okay default response confirmation
    example: true
  alexa_device:
    description: Alexa device you want to trigger
    example: media_player.bedroom_echo
sequence:
  - service: input_text.set_value
    data:
      entity_id: input_text.alexa_actionable_notification
      value: >-
        {"text": "{{ text }}", "suppress_confirmation": "{{suppress_confirmation }}", "event": "{{ event_id }}"}
  - service: media_player.play_media
    data:
      entity_id: "{{ alexa_device }}"
      media_content_type: skill
      media_content_id: ID
mode: single

Still have to make it into a blueprint but what do you think of that structure for a script blueprint?
