Persistent Notification

The persistant_notification can be used to show a message on the frontend that has to be dismissed by the user.

Service

The service persistent_notification/create takes in message, title, and notification_id.

Service data attribute	Optional	Description
`message`	no	Body of the notification.
`title`	yes	Title of the notification.
`notification_id`	yes	If `notification_id` is given, it will overwrite the notification if there already was a notification with that ID.

The persistant_notification component supports specifying templates for both the message and the title. This will allow you to use the current state of Home Assistant in your notifications.

In an action of your automation setup it could look like this with a customized subject.

action:
  service: persistant_notification.create
  data:
    message: "Your message goes here"
    title: "Custom subject"
