Anyone got a simple appdaemon smtp app to send out emails?
I use the SMTP notification service - that way its just a service call to notify
Yea, I was just hoping for something where the recipient isn’t hard coded.
I am looking for this too, using the Home Assistant services.
This works
self.call_service('notify/email_info', title = notification_title, message = notification_body)
This also works
self.notify(notification_body, title = notification_title, name = 'email_info')
but sends out a plain text email message. is there any way to get to the built in html
message body format
This does not work
self.call_service('notify/email_info', title = notification_title, html = notification_body)
Thanks
you need to check out the HA services.
i dont think HA excepts notifications without a message argument, so that why the last one doesnt work.
Here are the docs
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/smtp/
yaml to send html email
burglar:
alias: Burglar Alarm
sequence:
- service: shell_command.snapshot
- delay:
seconds: 1
- service: notify.NOTIFIER_NAME
data:
message: 'Intruder alert at apartment!!'
data:
images:
- /home/pi/snapshot1.jpg
- /home/pi/snapshot2.jpg
html: >
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transit...
This all works fine, I just cannot send an HTML email from an AppDaemon python script
so you need this:
self.call_service('notify/email_info', message = "Intruder alert at apartment!!", data = {"images":["/home/pi/snapshot1.jpg","/home/pi/snapshot2.jpg"], "html": "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transit..."})
you just need to translate everything from yaml to dicts.
Wow, brilliant thanks
Is this documented anywhere?
Am i missing some docs or looking in the wrong place?
self.notify('aaa', title = notification_title, name = 'email_info', data = {"html": notification_body})
self.call_service('notify/email_info', message = 'aaa', data = {'html': notification_body})
Both of the above work for HTML emails
from what I see in the email and internet headers of the received email, is that HA requires the ‘message’ field but it is not actually used for a HTML message.
Thanks again
no there is nowhere documented how exactly translate HA services to call_service.
it is in principle the knowledge how to translate yaml to python dicts.
