The file platform allows you to store notifications from Home Assistant as a file.

To enable file notifications in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  platform: file
  filename: FILENAME
  timestamp: 1 or 0

Setting timestamp to 1 adds a timestamp to every entry.

To use notifications, please see the getting started with automation page.
