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:
    platform: xmpp
    sender: YOUR_JID
    password: YOUR_JABBER_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD
    recipient: YOUR_RECIPIENT
```

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).
