(homeassistant) mysensors.notify does nothing, (alternatives?)

[zen85]

I cant get mysensors.notify to work...

in my configuration.yaml i put this:

input_boolean:
  baum_fx_twinkle:
    name: Twinkle
    initial: off

and in my automations.yaml i have this.

- alias: 'send scene to map'
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: input_boolean.baum_fx_twinkle
    to: 'on'
  action:
    service: notify.mysensors
    data:
      message: twinkle
      target: 'lalelu 111 2'

it works when i use MYSController with type c_set, subtype V_TEXT settings. but whenever i try to press the switch it does nothing... also there is nothing logged in MYSController.
Same when i try to use the call-service-page in my homeassistant backend... just nothing - not even an error...

does anyone have an idea? I checked for correct IDs and everything and in MYSController it definetly works... but homeassistant is very reluctant to do anything...

or does anybody have an alternative?

i just want to send a V_TEXT to a node via the dashboard.

Maybe add 'home assistant' to the topic title?

@alowhum

good idea. thx.

[zen85]

let me ask differently again:

did anybody get this:
https://www.home-assistant.io/components/notify.mysensors/

to work? i find no useful example and have the suspicion that it just doesnt work anymore since all the forumentries seem old and outdated?

[zen85]

sorry for spamming my own thread... i just want to keep updates coming in while debugging... i got it to the point where the homeassistant log tells me: "Unable to find service notify/mysensors".

but apparently there is no known solution to do this. i even unplugged and restarted everything. i am hitting a dead end here...

I have the same issue after settinf an automation under HA ( "Unable to find service notify/mysensor")
Do you find a workaround?

I faced same issue and was able to solve it by doing a proper presentation of S_INFO widget, as described in sample sketch: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/notify.mysensors/

The error message is quite misleading.
