Ignore specific types of alerts

[davislp]

Is there a way to not receive any alerts of a particular type? For example, I live in an area with a red flag alert every day. A UI notification is not necessary for these alerts as they happen every day, so being able to prevent them from triggering would be of great benefit. Is this possible? Thanks.

[jlverhagen]

I believe the short answer is maybe probably. A condition could be added to the UI Notification automation so it doesn't trigger on specified alerts. I'll have to test the behavior of the automation to ensure adding a condition to skip the notifications for certain alerts doesn't result in missing a notification for other important alerts if multiple different alerts are issued by the NWS in a short timeframe. If it works, I think I can add an input_text that can be configured in the Home Assistant UI and it would hold the alert names that should not trigger the UI notification.

[davislp]

That would be fantastic. Thank you for even looking into the possibility.

I'm going to add my name to this. Would just deleting the alert from the recent active alerts work as a work around?

For example:

      weatheralerts_1_alert_5_most_recent_active_alert:                                                                                     
        icon_template: >-                                                     
          {% set mapper =  { 
-               '911 Telephone Outage Emergency' : 'hass:phone-alert',

That's in your automation settings. My automation that does TTS only activates if it's a tornado warning.

Old thread, I know, but I'm trying to figure this out currently... How were you able to isolate it to only tornado warnings? I've tried to adjust the config in a way that only responds to warnings containing "tornado warning" - but it still notifies for all of the alerts...

[IIAIronWolf]

@noltondyer were you able to get it figured out? If not, I can show how mine is setup.
