Integrates MySensors notifications into Home Assistant. See the [main component] for configuration instructions.

Setting the `target` key in the service call will target the name of the MySensors device in Home Assistant. MySensors device names follow the notation: "[Sketch name] [Node id] [Child id]".

### {% linkable_title Automation example %}

```yaml
...
action:
  service: notify.mysensors
  data:
    message: Welcome home!
    target: 'TextSensor 254 1'
```

The following sensor types are supported:

##### MySensors version 2.0 and higher

S_TYPE          | V_TYPE
----------------|--------------------------
S_INFO          | V_TEXT

For more information, visit the [api] page of MySensors.
