iOS Notifications (UX): add timeout or until: <enitity> <test> <value> parameter

[richardwonka]

Creating notifications on users' devices is easy. Tidying up afterwards requires significant geeking, which potentially leaves lots of clutter on users' devices that they then have to clean up manually, reducing the PAF (Partner Acceptance Factor).

often enough, a notification is only useful for a defined time or until a defined state is entered, e.g.:

• A notification about high humidity in the bathroom should disappear when humidity has normalised (or window has been opened)
• A notification about a dry plant should disappear when said plant has been watered.
• A notification about someone leaving the office isn't useful once they have arrived home.
• Some notifications are not useful enough to be permanent, but could simply disappear after n minutes.

Solution: add a parameter until: to device notifications that allows definition of triggers that will cause the notification to be cleared. These would be defined analogous to automation triggers.

Adding this parameter would imply creation of a tag: (if not user-defined) and wait for the defined trigger(s) before sending the clear_notification message for said tag
