The [Pushsafer service](https://www.pushsafer.com/) is a platform for the notify component. This allows you to send messages to the user using Pushsafer.

In order to get an private or alias key you need to go to the [Pushsafer website](https://www.pushsafer.com) and register.

To use Pushsafer notifications, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  - name: NOTIFIER_NAME
    platform: pushsafer
    private_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
```

Configuration variables:

- **name** (*Optional*): 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`.
- **private_key** (*Required*): Your private or alias key. Private key = send the notification to all devices with standard params, alias key send the notification to the devices stored in the alias with predefined params.

When setting up the application you can use this [icon](https://home-assistant.io/images/favicon-192x192.png).
