Turn off persistent notification icon

Using a Samsung S22+, Android 14.

Is there a way to turn off the persistent “W” icon in the notification bar? I can dismiss this notification, but it just returns shortly after. In the app, I do have “Running in the background” turned on, but according to the text, it doesn’t sound like the app will let me know if a trigger goes off when I’m away from home if it’s not running.

I think something changed in the app a few months ago as this didn’t use to be there.

Thanks.

Welcome @john_k

Looks like you are using a Samsung. Just as an FYI, you really don’t need to have the run in background option selected. In the App Info setting on the App itself, make sure Battery is set to Unrestricted.

I have an S24+ and have no issues with the icon showing only when there is a notification waiting.

If needed, I can share my settings under App Info, if you wish.

Thanks much. I think that did the trick.

Sometimes I get a delay of a minute or more before I’m notified of an alert and that was throwing my testing off.
