Sounds like some logic you can tease out with node-red. I don’t know of a native way to do it in HA.
Yeah node red + the notification services on HA would definitely be how I do this. In fact, I kinda do already.
Sorry to not tell that, the plan is indeed for doing this in node red. I only want an example to put me on the right track and thought maybe someone else had something similar.
Should be able to just do it with automations and include "choose" action. 2024.1 looks like it makes it easier building blocks.
This is the answer. I have a handful of notifications setup this way. My routing logic tends to be much simpler but that's what "choose" is for.
The only tricky one may be to hold the notifications until later. I probably wouldn't bother with that personally. Instead I use the do not disturb functionality on the phone.

Looks nice at first sight. I'll definitely check it out thoroughly. I think it's exactly what I need. Thanks.
I've actually been trying to implement something like this myself, but I'm trying to do it natively in HA. What I've done so far is make an automation for each appliance that calls a script (with variables passed through for messages and whatnot) which notified each member of the household in parallel, based on whether they're home or not.
My eventual plan is to make each appliance automation flip an input_boolean that sends an initial notification which can be dismissed (either by sensor, NFC tag or notification action). Then every so often or based on a trigger (like door opening, toothbrush doing off, etc.) it triggers the notification script again.
