+One of the things that was missing in Home Assistant for a while was a way to communicate with users. Wouldn't it be nice to get a message when important events happen like the lights being turned on while no one is home? Since the Home Assistant frontend runs as a web application on the phone, we have no way to bring ourselves to the front. This is where the new notify component comes in, powered by PushBullet.
+
+The new notify component will take in messages and tells them to the user. For now this will be powered by the very awesome [PushBullet](https://www.pushbullet.com/) but any other messaging platform can be easily added.

+
+Read on to learn how to enable the notify component and integrate it with other components.

+
+### Enabling the notify component
+
+To enable the new notify component, add the following to your `home-assistant.conf`:
+
+```
+[notify]
+platform=pushbullet
+api_key=ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
+```
+
+You can get your api key from [your account page on PushBullet.com](https://www.pushbullet.com/account).
+
+### Sending messages from your component
+
+To be able to send messages, the notify component has to be loaded and initialized successfully.
+
+```python
+import homeassistant.loader as loader
+
+def setup(hass, config):
+    notify = loader.get_component('notify')
+    notify.send_message(hass, "Hello from my component!")
+```
