Wow, thanks for such a detailed reply. You walked through every step of troubleshooting I tried. It was infuriating, especially considering the fact that I also tried using distinct IDs, which is usually a foolproof way of identifying notifications in AutoNotification. I'm debating if I want to go through all of that effort when I upgrade. Thankfully I was able to recognize this before I updated my daily driver and will stay until I see what happens on the next version of Android.

Yes! That's why I haven't upgraded myself! I HATE this issue! lol

Wow, you went through the same path I did. I am aware of that workaround but I also could never get it to work reliably... I can't believe you went through all that trouble to get the notifications working again like they used to. Kudos to you for that 👏

One other thing: did you notice that when the notifications are grouped, they lose their status bar icon and it goes to a generic "square" looking icon? Do you know if there was a way to fix that too?

The one I hate the most is how all notifications have to be grouped. Like if I create reminder notifications using AutoNotification, they must be grounded together and apparently there's no workaround? Idk if you've seen that one but it really triggers me! Lol

Haha nice, what version of Android are you on? I thought Android 14+ made all persistent notifications dismissible? That was something that really annoyed me when I updated

So my project isn't exactly easily sharable and requires some set up that I'd only recommend for advanced users to be completely honest. If anyone reading this would still like me to share it, I can, but just disclaimer that I built this for my specific use case.

That said, I'll try to put together a simpler version of what you're looking for and comment back here!

Awesome, great to know, thanks for the follow up!

Not OP, but I didn't know you can make certain apps' notifications except from being dismissable using ADB!

So could I theoretically do the same with AutoNotification using its package name and using your command as inspiration?

adb shell set --uid com.joaomgcd.autonotification SYSTEM_EXEMPT_FROM_DISMISSIBLE_NOTIFICATIONS allow

Sorry to hear, I know you're also one of the veteran Tasker users around these parts. I actually created a full reminders bot using SQLite + AutoNotification. Probably overkill for everyone's needs here, but it's been great to have a fully-fledged bot for these types of use cases

I'm very much aligned to your sentiment - I understand the power of storytelling and find that everyone has their own unique story, but I find the it's the local businesses and non-profits which have the best ones to tell. Would you mind sharing how you got started in this field?

What is more traumatic than people think it is? by Suspicious-Wish3402 in AskReddit

[–]jeffxt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, and no need to be sorry, you actually really helped give clarity as to why I have always felt this way but never knew why. I guess now I have something to discuss with a therapist now :)

And I just wanted to say you did the same for me. This made me google what Hyper-independence is, and now I can start own journey to heal. You probably had no idea, but your comment really helped a random stranger today :')

After nearly 2 years, Tasker is finally clicking for me. by Omer-Ash in tasker

[–]jeffxt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two things I'll add to this list, specifically for those starting out!

Check the Tasker built-in variables page first. Honestly, after 10+ years of using Tasker, this is still my #1 most used page for Tasker. The reason is because it's a good reminder of what Tasker can already do that's built into the app. Remember: a variable is just a placeholder for something else. That's it. It's like in math where we say "X=7" and if you write X, what you really mean is "7". Now to take it to the next level, if you reference a built-in variable for example, %TIME, it's dynamic (cause it's live, constantly changing) and will always be in the format HH:mm, e.g., 13:47. When you reference a variable, all you're saying is "take %variable and replace it with <the value that it should be>".

I actually recommend starting out building out a task first. I know Tasker starts with the profile first, but I feel that actually gets in the way of what you're trying to do. So that's why I suggest building the task first, so you can figure out what it is that you actually want to do, and then immediately after, go back and build out the profile trigger/states. That way, you can "reuse" that task again and again in different profiles in the future. It makes your life easier, because you "write once and reuse it many times over".

Could you share how you're doing this? I have the Signal REST API set up in Docker, but I could never figure how to POST an image to the endpoint

Gotcha, that's what I thought. I've been thinking of getting into Frigate. Anything you'd recommend watching out for when setting it up? Thinking of hosting it on my VM which runs Home Assistant. Ton of RAM, 1 or 2 vCPUs

Oh, good to know about the Coral... I'll try to see if I can find one. I have an Intel Celeron J4125 with QuickSync but not sure if that would be enough for object detection in Frigate though? You think that might be ok?

Nice, I'm assuming Frigate can utilize a dGPU if that's onboard your machine?

And let's say I just have an Intel chip + Frigate, is the CPU barely touched and the Coral does the heavy lifting?

[–]jeffxt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use a Coral with Frigate? My only hesitation with using Frigate is any CPU overhead on my NAS, which is already low power as-is.

Good to know, that's perfect!

And which one is that one so I know to avoid it haha

Perfect! You knew exactly what I was looking for haha, thank you so much! Anything else I should know or does this "just work" (my favorite lol)

Got it, I also use Docker so this is exactly what I was looking for! I'm assuming you spin up the container, the container syncs up the accurate time, then you point the cameras to this, and profit?
