Trying to create a virtual switch to pause notifications, but I can't seem to figure it out. Would appreciate some help if possible.
That sounds great. I think a lot of people might chime in, if you can describe in more details what kind of project you have in mind and devices you need to pause.

The way I do it:
I program all automations in Webcore.
Piston automations are programmed according to room.
I have 1 piston that holds all my notification automations.
I have a virtual switch for each of the room automations.
I have a piston running all the pausing/resuming of pistons through virtual switches. Now I can use my voice to Alexa to "turn off X automation" and it will pause the correct piston. When I tell Alexa to turn on said automation, it resumes the piston.
I can also auto resume automations depending on the circumstances. I have a take a nap routine that will pause the automations in the room for a few hours.
I realize this is probably an over the top configuration but I'm sure you can leverage parts of it to make it work for your automation situation.

I just wanted to disable a Cat notification every once in a while. I think I figured it out though. There's a place in the notification app to do this.
