Note that indentation is an important part of specifying relationships using YAML. Things that are indented are nested "inside" things that are one level higher. So in the above example, `platform: pushbullet` is a property of (nested inside) the `notify` component.
Getting the right indentation can be tricky if you're not using an editor with a fixed width font. Tabs are not allowed to be used for indentation. Convention is to use 2 spaces for each level of indentation.
