The `instapush` platform uses [Instapush](https://instapush.im) to delivery notifications from Home Assistant to your Android or iOS device.
|
|
|
|
The Instapush [Getting Started page](https://instapush.im/home/start/) will guide through the process of creating the required items.
|
|
|
|
To add Instapush to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
notify:
|
|
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
|
|
platform: instapush
|
|
api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
|
|
app_secret: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
|
|
event: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
|
|
tracker: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): 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`.
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your API key for Instapush.
|
|
- **app_secret** (*Required*): The secret for your created application.
|
|
- **event** (*Required*): The event to push to.
|
|
- **tracker** (*Required*): The name of tracker inside Instapush.
|
|
|
|
To retrieve the needed values for existing settings, log into your account at [https://instapush.im](https://instapush.im) and go to your **Dashboard**. Then click the **APPS** tab, choose an app, and check the **Basic Info** section. The *Application ID* is the `api_key` and `app_secret` is the *Application Secret*.
|
|
|
|
Assuming that your setup looks look in the image below...
|
|
|
|
<p class='img'>
|
|
<img src='{{site_root}}/images/screenshots/instapush.png' />
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
...then your entry for the `configuration.yaml` file needs to be like this sample.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
notify:
|
|
platform: instapush
|
|
[...]
|
|
event: msg
|
|
tracker: state
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It's easy to test your Instapush setup outside of Home Assistant. Assuming you have an event *notification* and a tracker *home-assistant*, just fire a request and check the Instapush dashboard for a new entry.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -X POST \
|
|
-H "x-instapush-appid: YOUR_APP_KEY" \
|
|
-H "x-instapush-appsecret: YOUR_APP_SECRET" \
|
|
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
|
|
-d '{"event":"notification","trackers":{"home-assistant":"Switch 1"}}' \
|
|
https://api.instapush.im/v1/post
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
