Notify Group

The group notification platform allows you to combine multiple notify platforms into a single service.

Configuration

# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  - name: NAME_OF_NOTIFIER_GROUP
    platform: group
    services:
      - service: html5
        data:
          target: "macbook"
      - service: html5_nexus

Configuration Variables

name

(string)(Required)

Setting the parameter name sets the name of the group.

services

(list)(Required)

A list of all the services to be included in the group.

service

(string)(Required)

The service part of an entity ID, e.g., if you use notify.html5 normally, just put html5. Note that you must put everything in lower case here. Although you might have capitals written in the actual notification services!

data

(string)(Optional)

A dictionary containing parameters to add to all notify payloads. This can be anything that is valid to use in a payload, such as data, message, target or title.

Example

An example on how to use it in an automation:

action:
  service: notify.NAME_OF_NOTIFIER_GROUP
  data:
    message: "The sun is {% if is_state('sun.sun', 'above_horizon') %}up{% else %}down{% endif %}!"
