Notification Bar on Updating Sensors #1220

Closed redflag237 closed 3 years ago

redflag237 commented 3 years ago

Home Assistant Android version: 3.0.2-full Android version: 8.1.0 Phone model: BQ Aquaris X Pro Home Assistant version: 0.117.6 Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Description of problem: Home Assistant App for Android refreshes the Sensor Values every 15 Minutes. When so, my connected Smartwatch, Mi Band 5, shows an Notification telling "HA Refreshing Sensors". I love the notifications sent from my HA Automations, but don't want to see this Updating Notifications on my Smartwatch. The corresponding App (Mi fit) just grabs the Notification Area, i can select or unselect each single app. Unfortunately i cannot filter the Content of the notification. Can you implement a switch to disable the "Updating sensors" message to appear in notification area? Traceback (if applicable):

You can disable the sensor worker notification channel if you wish as your device is on Android Oreo, more about that was covered in the blog: https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2020/09/12/android-240-release/#foreground-service-worker

and also mentioned in our documentation: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/core/sensors
