The smtp platform allows you to deliver notifications from Home Assistant to an e-mail recipient.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable notification by e-mail in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
||||
notify:
|
||||
platform: mail
|
||||
server: MAIL_SERVER
|
||||
port: YOUR_SMTP_PORT
|
||||
sender: SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS
|
||||
starttls: 1 or 0
|
||||
username: YOUR_SMTP_USERNAME
|
||||
password: YOUR_SMTP_PASSWORD
|
||||
recipient: YOUR_RECIPIENT
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This platform is fragile and not able to catch all exceptions in a smart way because of the large number of possible configuration combinations.
|
||||
|
||||
A combination that will work properly is port 587 and STARTTLS. It's recommanded to enable STARTTLS, if possible.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that if the password contains a colon, it needs to be wrapped in apostrophes in the `configuration.yaml` file.
|
||||
|
||||
For Google Mail (smtp.gmail.com) an additional step in the setup process is needed. Google has some extra layers of protection
|
||||
which need special attention. By default, the usage by external applications, especially scripts, is limited. Visit the [Less secure apps](https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps) page and enable it.
|
||||
|
||||
To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page]({{site_root}}/components/automation.html).
