One of the things most people want at some point in their home automation is to get notified when certain events occur. For this reason there is a `notify` component in Home Assistant.
|
|
|
|
Home Assistant currently supports a wide range of services for notifications:
|
|
|
|
- [E-Mail](/components/notify.smtp.html)
|
|
- [File](/components/notify.file.html)
|
|
- [Instapush](/components/notify.instapush.html)
|
|
- [Jabber (XMPP)](/components/notify.xmpp.html)
|
|
- [Notify My Android (NMA)](/components/notify.nma.html)
|
|
- [PushBullet](/components/notify.pushbullet.html)
|
|
- [PushOver](/components/notify.pushover.html)
|
|
- [Slack](/components/notify.slack.html)
|
|
- [Syslog](/components/notify.syslog.html)
|
|
|
|
### Automation example
|
|
|
|
Notifications are great to be used within Home Automation. Below is a an example configuration that you can add to your `configuration.yaml` to be notified when the sun sets.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
automation:
|
|
alias: Sun set notification
|
|
|
|
platform: state
|
|
state_entity_id: sun.sun
|
|
state_from: above_horizon
|
|
state_to: below_horizon
|
|
|
|
execute_service: notify.NOTIFIER_NAME
|
|
service_data: {"message":"YAY"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
