<p>One of the things that was missing in Home Assistant for a while was a way to communicate with users. Wouldnt 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.</p>
<p>The new notify component will take in messages and tells them to the user. For now this will be powered by the very awesome <a href="https://www.pushbullet.com/">PushBullet</a> but any other messaging platform can be easily added.</p>
<p class="img">
<img src="/images/screenshots/pushbullet_moto360.png" />
A message triggered by the simple_alarm component is shown by PushBullet on the Moto360.
</p>
<p>Read on to learn how to enable the notify component and integrate it with other components.</p>
<a name="read-more"></a>
<h3>Enabling the notify component</h3>
<p>To enable the new notify component, add the following to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">home-assistant.conf</code>:</p>
<div class="language-conf highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code>[<span class="n">notify</span>]
<span class="n">platform</span>=<span class="n">pushbullet</span>
<span class="n">api_key</span>=<span class="n">ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>You can get your api key from <a href="https://www.pushbullet.com/account">your account page on PushBullet.com</a>.</p>
<h3>Sending messages from your component</h3>
<p>To be able to send messages, the notify component has to be loaded and initialized successfully.</p>
<div class="language-python highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">homeassistant.loader</span> <span class="kn">as</span> <span class="nn">loader</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">setup</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">hass</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">config</span><span class="p">):</span>

<span class="n">notify</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">send_message</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">hass</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">"Hello from my component!"</span><span class="p">)</span>
