I have 5 different Android phones all on LAN WiFi connection. All software updated rebooted and BI server pinged through BI app. All worked like clockwork for years. I still find the BI push notifications intermittent. I can walk around the property and all phone have good prompt notifications, then do the same thing a few minutes later and only 1 phone will get notifications. I don't have any more hair to pull out. Anyone else notice intermittent notifications?

Yes, I am seeing this. Also getting notifications that sometimes take up to 5 minutes to arrive.

Most messages arrive 10 minutes later or not at all. And pictures are no longer displayed at all. (Galaxy S20)

Per Ken, I deleted all Mobile Devices on BI server, uninstalled the BI phone app and reinstalled, then reboot phone, then re-enable Mobile Devices on the BI server. Make sure phone has all the correct permissions for notifications. Right now all 5 of my Android Pixel phones are getting low latency notifications again, all the way down to Android 8.1 devices. I did notice some small changes to the BI app menu after reinstalling app, so you cannot do just an update. As far as pics, I never got pics of triggers for years. I use sms notifications with pic added. Most people use Pushover app for trigger pics. Thanks for all of Ken's help!

but if you are just looking for a simple push and a quick setup, the pushover email option is simple to setup.
That's what I decided to do when I started having the notification issue on my Android phone. Not only is it a great alternative, but it allowed me to uninstall the Blue Iris app off my phone. I love Blue Iris, but their phone app was not my favorite.

I just started playing with Google’s Generative AI in Home Assistant for notifications. So far it seems to be identifying people well, but I haven’t tried it with animals yet.
