The twitter notification platform uses Twitter to deliver notifications from Home Assistant.

Setup

Make sure you have a developer account registered with Twitter, then go to Twitter Apps and create an application. If you don't have a developer account you need to apply for one, it can take some time to get approved.

App permissions

If you do not perform this step, your application will only receive read permissions and will not be able to post tweets on behalf of your account on Twitter.

1. Visit "Settings" of the application.
2. Click on Set up under "User authentication settings".
3. Check the box for OAuth 1.0a.
4. Set the app permission to Read and write.
5. Enter a callback and website URL and click save.

It does not matter for the integration what you enter as a callback or website URL.

Generate tokens and secrets

1. Visit "Keys and tokens" of the application.
2. Click on Regenerate under "Consumer keys" to get your Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.
3. Click on Regenerate under "Access Tokens and Secret" to get your Access Token and Access Token Secret.

Configuration

To add Twitter to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry

  - name: NOTIFIER_NAME
    platform: twitter
    consumer_key: YOUR_API_KEY
    consumer_secret: YOUR_API_SECRET
    access_token: YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
