The `llamalab_automate` platform uses Googles Cloud Messaging Services to push messages from Home Assistant to your Android device running the LlamaLab [Automate](https://llamalab.com/automate/) app. This can serve as an alternative to Tasker + AutoRemote.
|
|
|
|
Go to [https://llamalab.com/automate/cloud/](https://llamalab.com/automate/cloud/) and create a new API key/secret.
|
|
|
|
To add Automate to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
notify:
|
|
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
|
|
platform: llamalab_automate
|
|
api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
|
|
to: example@gmail.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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*): Enter the API key for Automate.
|
|
- **to** (*Required*): E-Mail address the Automate-Fiber is configured for.
|
|
- **device** (*Optional*): Name of the target device to receive the messages.
|
|
|
|
Receiving cloud messages in Automate:
|
|
|
|
1. Add a new flow
|
|
2. Insert block "Messaging -> Cloud message receive"
|
|
3. Insert block "Interface -> Toast show"
|
|
4. Connect OK from Flow beginning to IN of Cloud receive
|
|
5. Connect OK from Cloud receive to Toast show
|
|
6. Connect OK form Toast show to IN of Cloud receive
|
|
7. Tap Cloud receive and select the E-Mail account as setup in your configuration
|
|
8. Assign a variable name for the Payload
|
|
9. Tap Toast show and set the message value to the variable you've specified
|
|
|
|
If you have multiple devices paired to one Google Mail account and want to control each instance of Automate individually, you can set the notifier to target a specific device. To determine your devices name, add a Cloud Message send block to your flow, tap it and scroll all the way to the bottom. Device names are case sensitive.
