The Instapush Getting Started page will guide through the process of creating the required items.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: instapush
# Get those by creating a new application, event, and tracker on https://instapush.im
api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
app_secret: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
event: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
tracker: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
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
.
To retrieve those values for existing settings, log into your account at https://instapush.im and go to your Dashboard. Then click APPS tab, choose an app, and check the Basic Info section. The Application ID is the api_key
and app_secret
is the Application Secret.
It's easy to test your Instapush setup outside of Home Assistant. Assuming you have an event notification and a tracker home-assistant, just fire a request and check the Instapush dashboard for a new entry.
curl -X POST \
-H "x-instapush-appid: YOUR_APP_KEY" \
-H "x-instapush-appsecret: YOUR_APP_SECRET" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"event":"notification","trackers":{"home-assistant":"Switch 1"}}' \
