The instapush platform uses [Instapush](https://instapush.im) to delivery notifications from Home Assistant to your Android or iOS device.

The Instapush Getting Started page will guide through the process of creating the required items.

# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
    platform: instapush
    # Get those by creating a new application, event, and tracker on https://instapush.im
    api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
    app_secret: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
    event: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
    tracker: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ

To retrieve those values for existing settings, log into your account at https://instapush.im and go to your Dashboard. Then click APPS tab, choose an app, and check the Basic Info section. The Application ID is the api_key and app_secret is the Application Secret.

It's easy to test your Instapush setup outside of Home Assistant. Assuming you have an event notification and a tracker home-assistant, just fire a request and check the Instapush dashboard for a new entry.

curl -X POST \
    -H "x-instapush-appid: YOUR_APP_KEY" \
    -H "x-instapush-appsecret: YOUR_APP_SECRET" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"event":"notification","trackers":{"home-assistant":"Switch 1"}}' \
