Home Assistant iOS app adds local push notification support

It’s implemented but it still requires an official Google Assistant smart home skill and a cloud connection to set-up. It works out of the box with Home Assistant Cloud.
It’s kinda cool how it works, as your Google Home Mini will run our JS app and let it interact with Home Assistant. In the case of Home Assistant Cloud, all commands are just forwarded as-is as all processing is always local. You can see the source here https://github.com/NabuCasa/home-assistant-google-assistant-...
Note, syncing local access, exposed devices and any command requiring 2FA still goes via the cloud.

2. Firebase Cloud Messaging, for push notifications (since we can't talk to APNS directly in HA)
FCM is a dependency I'm actively trying to kill off in favor of an implementation that is both end-to-end encrypted and talks directly to Apple's Push Notification Service. Apple would not allow a solution where HA talks directly to APNS as they do not want that many active connections, and it would require disclosing private keys for the App STore account.

Only issue I'm seeing right now is balancing the security of your setup with the lack of iOS support for client certs. Looks like it's under some amount of development, but not much movement in the past 3 years: https://github.com/home-assistant/iOS/issues/27. Since I use our family's phones as a presence detection, I'd need the this to work with iOS.
