Home Assistant currently supports the awesome [PushBullet](https://www.pushbullet.com/), a free service to send information between your phones, browsers and friends.
To add PushBullet to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```
notify:
platform: pushbullet
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
```
### 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.
```
automation:
alias: Sun set notification
platform: state
state_entity_id: sun.sun
state_from: above_horizon
state_to: below_horizon
execute_service: notify.notify
service_data: {"message":"YAY"}
```
For more automation examples, see the [getting started with automation page]({{site_root}}/components/automation.html).
