Is it possible to integrate current HomeKit values into a message?

Of course! In short: Change the Get contents of URL shortcut action to POST. Add "title" or "text" keys to the JSON Body. As the value, you can use Shortcut variables. If you used the Home App shortcut action to read a state from your device, you should be able to insert that into the notification.

The received notification does not have the right title & text. What's wrong?

If you see a default notification, please restart your device. To improve your privacy, the title & text is inserted locally by the app. Sometimes iOS & macOS do not activate that at first use. A restart should resolve it.
