The xmpp platform allows you to deliver notifications from Home Assistant to a [Jabber (XMPP)](http://xmpp.org) account.

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
    name: NOTIFIER_NAME
    platform: xmpp
    sender: YOUR_JID
    password: YOUR_JABBER_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD
    recipient: YOUR_RECIPIENT
```

Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created.
The default value is `notify`. The notifier will bind to the service
`notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.

All Jabber IDs (JID) must include the domain. Make sure that the password matches the account provided as sender.

To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page]({{site_root}}/components/automation.html).
