The instapush platform uses Instapush to delivery notifications from Home Assistant to your Android or iOS device.

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
  api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
  app_secret: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
  event: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
  tracker: 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 for Instapush.
• app_secret (Required): The secret for your created application.
• event (Required): TThe event
• tracker (Required): The name of tracker inside Instapush.

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"}}' \
