The [Pushover service](https://pushover.net/) is a platform for the notify component. This allows components to send messages to the user using Pushover.
|
|
|
|
In order to get an API key you need to go to the [Pushover website](https://pushover.net) and register a new application. From the website you can also retrieve your user key.
|
|
|
|
To use Pushover notifications, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
notify:
|
|
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
|
|
platform: pushover
|
|
api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
|
|
user_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`.
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key.
|
|
- **user_key** (*Required*): Your user key for Pushover.
|
|
|
|
Example Automation:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- service: notify.entity_id
|
|
data:
|
|
message: "This is the message"
|
|
title: "Title of message"
|
|
data:
|
|
url: "https://home-assistant.io/"
|
|
sound: pianobar
|
|
priority: 0
|
|
```
|
|
Component specific values in the nested `data` section are optional.
|
|
|
|
This is a quote from the Pushover website regarding free/open source apps:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
If you are creating a client-side library, application, or open source project that will be redistributed and installed by end-users, you may want to require each of your users to register their own application rather than including your own API token with the software.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
When setting up the application you can use this [icon](https://home-assistant.io/images/favicon-192x192.png).
|
|
|
|
To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page](/getting-started/automation/).
|
|
|
|
When sending a notification, optional parameters can also be set as per the pushover [API documentation](https://pushover.net/api).
|
|
|
|
Example notification triggered from the Alexa component for an intents is shown below which also uses [Automation Templating](/getting-started/automation-templating/) for the message:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entries
|
|
alexa:
|
|
intents:
|
|
LocateIntent:
|
|
action:
|
|
service: notify.notify
|
|
data_template:
|
|
message: "The location of {% raw %}{{ User }}{% endraw %} has been queried via Alexa."
|
|
data:
|
|
title: "Home Assistant"
|
|
data:
|
|
sound: falling
|
|
device: pixel
|
|
url: "https://home-assistant.io/"
|
|
```
