The persistent_notification integration can be used to show a notification 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. Accepts templates.
title	yes	Title of the notification. Accepts templates.
notification_id	yes	If notification_id is given, it will overwrite the notification if there already was a notification with that ID.

Here is how an action of your automation setup with static content could look like.

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

If you want to show some runtime information, you have to use templates.

{% raw %}

action:
  service: persistent_notification.create
  data:
    title: >
      Thermostat is {{ state_attr('climate.thermostat', 'hvac_action') }}
    message: "Temperature {{ state_attr('climate.thermostat', 'current_temperature') }}"

{% endraw %}

The service persistent_notification.dismiss requires a notification_id.

This service allows you to remove a notifications by script or automation.

action:
  service: persistent_notification.dismiss
