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:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: pushbullet
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
```
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*): Enter the API key for PushBullet. Go to https://www.pushbullet.com/ to retrieve your API key.
