The `matrix` platform allows you to deliver notifications from Home Assistant to a [Matrix](http://matrix.org) room. Rooms can be both direct as well as group chats.
|
|
|
|
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
|
|
|
|
To enable Matrix notifications in your installation, you first need to configure
|
|
the [Matrix component](/components/matrix/). Then, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
notify:
|
|
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
|
|
platform: matrix
|
|
default_room: ROOM_ID_OR_ALIAS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
name:
|
|
description: Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
|
|
required: false
|
|
default: notify
|
|
type: string
|
|
default_room:
|
|
description: The room all messages will be sent to, when no other target is given.
|
|
required: true
|
|
type: string
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|
|
|
|
The target room has to be precreated, the room id can be obtained from the rooms settings dialog. Rooms by default have a canonical id of the form `"!<randomid>:homeserver.tld"`, but can also be allocated aliases like `"#roomname:homeserver.tld"`. Make sure to use quotes around the room id or alias to escape special characters (`!`, and `#`) in YAML. The notifying account may need to be invited to the room, depending on the individual rooms policies.
