+"""
+Pushover platform for notify component.
+
+Configuration:
+
+To use the Pushover notifier you will need to add something like the following
+to your config/configuration.yaml
+
+notify:
+    platform: pushover
+    api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
+    user_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
+
+VARIABLES:
+
+api_key
+*Required
+This parameter is optional but should be configured, in order to get an API
+key you should go to https://pushover.net and register a new application.
+
+This is a quote from the pushover website regarding free/open source apps:
+"If you are creating a client-side library, application, or open source project
+that will be redistributed and installed by end-users, you may want to require
+each of your users to register their own application rather than including your
+own API token with the software."
+
+When setting up the application I recommend using the icon located here:
+https://home-assistant.io/images/favicon-192x192.png
+
+user_key
+*Required
+To retrieve this value log into your account at https://pushover.net
