is there a way to create notifications with buttons so that you can confirm a notification. You could then use this to control something! for example: when the 3D printer is ready, send a notification with: disable 3D printer yes/no! If you press yes, the 3D printer turns off, if you press no, it stays on. ---

Yes but than with buttons in the push notification! A button with yes and a button with no! So you can control something directly in your notification. You know what i mean? ---

I think it will work like that! You have to swipe down the notification! I will test it and let you know! ![IMG_2369](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/a/4ad158c2d8f0b450665b287fb632939d95ba214e.jpeg) ---

You can also tap the notification, after which Homey shows you the options: ![IMG_1515](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/1/e1f6f11f628f2de4fd2f3f21685585a2a453ea68.jpeg) ---

Doesn’t work for me on iOS18 (long-pressing does, but short-pressing doesn’t). There’s no setting that I can change to enable this because it’s something that’s handled in the app, and I think it might be related to having to reinstall the Homey app because notifications weren’t working at all anymore (and even after a reinstall it wasn’t working until I performed a workaround). ---

Strange. I initially was also not able to receive notifications when I installed my Homey Pro two months ago. But I found a way to trigger the ‘enable notifications’ prompt in the iOS app. Since then it works, including the above subsequent confirmation pop-up screen in the Homey app. Which work-around did you apply? ---

now the next question! I now receive this notification, but how can I ensure that I control a device when I press one of the buttons? I’m quite a novice when it comes to this! How do i make a good flow with it? ---

The confirmation push message card has two outputs/connectors: - one for True (you answered Yes) and - one for False (you answered No). It actually also has a third output: the Error option. That option applies when you don’t respond to the pop-up notification (if I recall after 10 minutes). This third option is only available when using Advanced Flows. In a Basic Flow it would look something like this: ![IMG_1516](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/9/29fcfd6d2531453a796254b2d60f8b0998b2f351.jpeg) ---

This is also possible with the Telegram app (and Pushover I think). ---
