component	PushOver	Instructions how to add user notifications to Home Assistant.	2015-01-20 22:36	true	false	true	true	pushover.png	Notifications

The PushOver service is a platform for the notify component. This allows components to send messages to the user using PushOver.

To use PushOver notifications, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# 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): This parameter is optional but should be configured, in order to get an API key you should go to https://pushover.net and register a new application.
• user_key (Required): To retrieve this value log into your account at https://pushover.net

This is a quote from the pushover website regarding free/open source apps:

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.

When setting up the application you can use this icon.
