Trying to setup notifications for HA and trying to decide which service to use.
html5 appears to be proprietary (no ios) and needs a browser to work…correct?
pushbullet should work any any phone correct?
Are there any in particular services that you recommend
Thanks.
the iOS app
I actually don’t have ios, I just saw in the docs that html5 does not work with it. I just wanted something that was not proprietary or need a browser if I could help it. But if that is the best way to go, I will.
I found a thread and they list many many services and having a hard time choosing.
I went ahead and setup pushbullet and it works manually (I saw how to do it from the dev menu in the docs) . When I try and put it automations , it does not like the name of the service, .
action:
service: notify.notify_name
data:
message: “The garage door is open”
Do you see anything wrong with the service name? It works manually.
Thanks.
I am an idiot!
no indentation on message
It’s been awhile since I have done my basic scripts.
Not sure if it’s working but no more config check errors!
I prefer Telegram and Pushover (Telegram for alerting the family of particular things, and Pushover for “emergency alerts” (because it can override do not disturb modes))
Thanks for all the help today guys…really got me up to speed .
At 11pm I got the notification on my phone that the garage door was open!
thanks again…
