The file platform allows you to store notifications from Home Assistant as a file.
|
|
|
|
To enable file notifications in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
notify:
|
|
name: NOTIFIER_NAME
|
|
platform: file
|
|
filename: FILENAME
|
|
timestamp: 1 or 0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created.
|
|
The default value is `notify`. The notifier will bind to the service
|
|
`notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
|
|
|
|
Setting `timestamp` to 1 adds a timestamp to every entry.
|
|
|
|
To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page]({{site_root}}/components/automation.html).
