Pushover
The Pushover service is a platform for the notify component. This allows integrations to send messages to the user using Pushover.
Configuration
In order to get an API key you need to register an application on the Pushover website. Your Pushover user key can be found on the Pushover dashboard.
Configuration
Adding Pushover to your Home Assistant instance can be done via the user interface, by using this My button:
If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:
-
Browse to your Home Assistant instance.
-
In the sidebar click on Settings.
-
From the configuration menu select: Devices & Services.
-
In the bottom right, click on the Add Integration button.
-
From the list, search and select “Pushover”.
-
Follow the instruction on screen to complete the set up.
Example Automation:
- service: notify.entity_id
data:
message: "This is the message"
title: "Title of message"
data:
url: "https://www.home-assistant.io/"
sound: pianobar
priority: 0
attachment: "local/image.png"
Component specific values in the nested data section are optional.
Image attachments can be added using the attachment parameter, which can either be a local file reference (ex: /tmp/image.png).
To use a specific Pushover device, set it using target. If one of the entered devices doesn’t exist or is disabled in your Pushover account it will send a message to all you devices. To send to all devices, just skip the target attribute.
- service: notify.entity_id
data:
message: "This is the message"
title: "Title of message"
target:
- pixel3
- pixel4a
data:
sound: pianobar
priority: 0
