Brother printer integration

Third party integrations
1

Hi, I am configuring my Brother printer integration following the Brother Printer documentation.
I added the template: and the alert: code in configuration.yaml, but I’m not sure if I should change the notifier (I have the HA Companion app on my mobile phone), and if so what I should change it to, or where to look for in HA for the name of the notifier to use.

Appreciate your advise.

You need to change the value under notifier to a notifier (or list of notifiers) that you use. If you don’t know what notifiers are available to you, open Developer Tools > Services and type notify. in the field. The drop-down should populate with all the notification services available on your HA instance. When adding a notifier to an alert you just use the part of the notification service after the dot.

notification service notifier
notify.mobile_app_roels_pixel mobile_app_roels_pixel 

laser_out_of_paper:
  name: Laser Printer is Out of Paper
  done_message: Laser Printer Has Paper
  entity_id: binary_sensor.laser_printer_out_of_paper
  can_acknowledge: true
  notifiers:
    - mobile_app_roels_pixel

I changed roels_pixel to the name of my phone and added another phone, tested it and it works :-).
Thanks, @Didgeridrew
