+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.
+
+```yaml
+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"}
+```
+
