Get Notified And Respond Immediately Using Actionable Notifications in Home Assistant

Did you know that you can create actionable notifications in Home Assistant? This way you can get a message on your phone and choose some actions within that message. Home Assistant will perform your chosen action after you've chosen a specific action. In this video, I'll show you how you will get a message on your phone when your printer ink cartridges are almost empty and what actions you can perform within that message.

Actionable notifications are messages that you receive on your phone and that present a couple of actions that you can perform within that message. We will create the following use case in this tutorial. When your printer ink cartridges are almost empty, you will get a message on your phone. Within that message you get three options:

* Order new cartridges
* Remind me later
* and Ignore
