A new discovery section has been added to the Adding a new platform page with instructions how to make your platform discoverable.

-]]> - - - - <![CDATA[Hello PushBullet, nice talking to you]]> - - 2015-01-04T13:29:07-08:00 - https://home-assistant.io/blog/2015/01/04/hey-pushbullet-nice-talking-to-you - One of the things that was missing in Home Assistant for a while was a way to communicate with users. Wouldn’t it be nice to get a message when important events happen like the lights being turned on while no one is home? Since the Home Assistant frontend runs as a web application on the phone, we have no way to bring ourselves to the front. This is where the new notify component comes in, powered by PushBullet.

- -

The new notify component will take in messages and tells them to the user. For now this will be powered by the very awesome PushBullet but any other messaging platform can be easily added.

- -

- - A message triggered by the simple_alarm component is shown by PushBullet on the Moto360. -

- - -

Read on to learn how to enable the notify component and integrate it with other components.

- - - - -

Enabling the notify component

- -

To enable the new notify component, add the following to your home-assistant.conf:

- -
1
-2
-3
-
[notify]
-platform=pushbullet
-api_key=ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
- - -

You can get your api key from your account page on PushBullet.com.

- -

Sending messages from your component

- -

To be able to send messages, the notify component has to be loaded and initialized successfully.

We used this time to finally make the overhaul to use UTC as the internal date time format. We added a bunch of test coverage in the process to make sure the transition went smoothly. Pleas see the blog post about the UTC refactor for backwards incompatible changes.

    - -

    This release includes a significant startup boost for the frontend and a fix for Wemo discovery after their latest firmware upgrade.

    - -

    I would like to give a big shout out to our newest contributor fabaff for taking the time to improve the documentation.

    Overwriting Entity Attributes
    -Before diving into the newly supported devices and services, I want to highlight an awesome configuration enhancement by rmkraus: overwriting entity attributes.

    - -

    These new configuration settings allow you to overwrite entity state attributes. The main usage for this is being able to overwrite attributes that influence how an entity is shown in the interface.

    - -
    # Example configuration.yaml entry
-homeassistant:
-  customize:
-    light.bowl:
-      # hides this entity from the interface
-      hidden: true
-    light.ceiling:
-      # Replaces the state badge with given picture
-      entity_picture: http://graph.facebook.com/schoutsen/picture
-
    - -

    MySensors
    - -Andythigpen and Theolind have added support for the MySensors platform to Home Assistant.

    - -
    # Example configuration.yaml entry
-sensor:
-  platform: mysensors
-  port: /dev/ttyACM0
-
    - -

    OpenWeatherMap
    - -Fabaff has contributed support for OpenWeatherMap. This will allow you to integrate local meteorological data into Home Assistant.

    - -
    # Example configuration.yaml entry
-sensor:
-  platform: openweathermap
-  api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
-  monitored_variables:

-    - type: 'pressure'
-    - type: 'clouds'
-    - type: 'rain'
-    - type: 'snow'
-
    - -

    InstaPush
    - -Fabaff has contributed support for InstaPush. This will allow you send messages from Home Assistant to your iOS and Android devices.

    - -
    # 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
-
    - -

    XMPP
    - -Fabaff has contributed support for Jabber/XMPP. This will allow you send messages from Home Assistant to anyone on Jabber/XMPP.

    - -
    # Example configuration.yaml entry
