<p>The <code>smtp</code> platform allows you to deliver notifications from Home Assistant to an e-mail recipient.</p>
<p>To enable notification by e-mail in your installation, add the following to your <code>configuration.yaml</code> file:</p>
<div class="highlighter-coderay"><div class="CodeRay">
<div class="code"><pre><span class="comment"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="key">notify</span>:
<span class="key">name</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">NOTIFIER_NAME</span></span>
<span class="key">platform</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">smtp</span></span>
<span class="key">server</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">MAIL_SERVER</span></span>
<span class="key">port</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">YOUR_SMTP_PORT</span></span>
<span class="key">sender</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">SENDER_EMAIL_ADDRESS</span></span>
<span class="key">starttls</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">1 or 0</span></span>
<span class="key">username</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">YOUR_SMTP_USERNAME</span></span>
<span class="key">password</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">YOUR_SMTP_PASSWORD</span></span>
<span class="key">recipient</span>: <span class="string"><span class="content">YOUR_RECIPIENT</span></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Configuration variables:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Setting the optional parameter <code>name</code> allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value is <code>notify</code>. The notifier will bind to the service <code>notify.NOTIFIER_NAME</code>.</li>
<li><strong>server</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): SMTP server which is used to end the notifications. For Google Mail, eg. smtp.gmail.com. Keep in mind that Google has some extra layers of protection which need special attention (Hint: Less secure apps). Defaults to <code>localhost</code>.</li>
<li><strong>port</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): The port that the SMTP server is using, eg. 587 for Google Mail and STARTTLS or 465/993 depending on your SMTP servers. Defaults to 25.</li>
<li><strong>sender</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): E-mail address of the sender.</li>
<li><strong>username</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Username for the SMTP account.</li>
<li><strong>password</strong> (<em>Optional</em>):Password for the SMTP server that belongs to the given username. If the password contains a colon it need to be wrapped in apostrophes.</li>
<li><strong>recipient</strong> (<em>Required</em>): Recipient of the notification.</li>
<li><strong>starttls</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Enables STARTTLS, eg. 1 or 0. Defaults to 0.</li>
</ul>
<p>This platform is fragile and not able to catch all exceptions in a smart way because of the large number of possible configuration combinations.</p>
<p>A combination that will work properly is port 587 and STARTTLS. Its recommended to enable STARTTLS, if possible.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that if the password contains a colon, it needs to be wrapped in apostrophes in the <code>configuration.yaml</code> file.</p>
<p>For Google Mail (smtp.gmail.com) an additional step in the setup process is needed. Google has some extra layers of protection<br />
which need special attention. By default, the usage by external applications, especially scripts, is limited. Visit the <a href="https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps">Less secure apps</a> page and enable it.</p>
<p>To use notifications, please see the <a href="/components/automation/">getting started with automation page</a>.</p>
