Twitter Instructions on how to add Twitter notifications to Home Assistant.
Notifications
0.12 twitter

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. Visit "Keys and Access Tokens" of the application to get the details (Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Access Token and Access Token Secret which needs to be generated).

Configuration

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

# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  - name: NOTIFIER_NAME
    platform: twitter
    consumer_key: YOUR_API_KEY
    consumer_secret: YOUR_API_SECRET
    access_token: YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN
    access_token_secret: YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET

{% configuration %} name: description: Setting the optional parameter name allows multiple notifiers to be created.
