Hi folks,
I have develop a little alarm-system in openhab. When a Window or Door was open a script is running and check a mobile phone is in wlan. When no phone is present, a message with tag “alert” was send to phone by myopenhab-cloud.
A new feature to set notification by tags with option "override my don’t disturb setting’ was nice. So I can mute my phone and get all extra important alerts.
I believe this has to be done in the Android system. Apps should not have the ability to override Do Not Disturb settings, or else developers could abuse the privilege.
Check your Notifications → Do Not Disturb settings. You should have the ability to add openHAB to the list of apps that are allowed when Do Not Disturb is turned on. This feature has been available in Android for quite a few years.
On my Android 14 phone I can set “Ignore DND” for individual notification categories. Categories correspond to notification tags in myopenhab.
On Galaxy A54 with Android 14, I don’t have notification tags(categories) in my setting → notifications → openhab… How I can activate it?
I don’t have that on phone either (a Z Flip 5), so I don’t think Samsung has enabled individual notification categories. It’s all or none for each app.
What about long pressing a (here: openHAB) notification and selecting the settings wheel in the new view? Or does that also not work for Samsung?
In the OS settings => Apps => openHAB:
Select Notifications => Select one category:
and scroll down:
Just had a Samsung phone at hand: go to Settings → Notifications → Advanced Settings and enable ‘Manage notification categories for each app’ at the bottom. Then go to the app notification settings → Categories and there you can manage each category.
Okay, so at first I missed that you can tap on the category name to get more options. I thought it was just an on/off toggle. But I don’t see the ability in Samsung’s UI to allow some to bypass DND and not others. I don’t have the “Override Do Not Disturb” toggle that @mueller-ma has.
Is it Android 14? If so Samsung may have removed this feature 
Yep, it’s One UI 6 with Android 14. Maybe it’ll show up with the Android 15 update.
Yeah, thank you so much, that is the setting that cost many hours of time to found.
