James Cole has contributed support for <a href='https://pushover.net/'>the PushOver service</a> as a platform for the notify component. This allows components to send messages to the user using PushOver.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
notify:
|
|
platform: pushover
|
|
# Get this by registering a new application on https://pushover.net
|
|
api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
|
|
# Get this by logging into your account on https://pushover.net
|
|
user_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
|
|
```
|
|
|

### 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"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
