Help! Notify not working

Configuration
1

Hi, I posted earlier that telegram wasn’t working but now it seems all of my notifications aren’t working. Originally all of my notification options were working but now they have all stopped. I have gone as far as a fresh install of hassbian. I did though copy the yaml files back in. I think my notify configuration is correct as it was working. I was using notify: !include yamls/notifications.yaml but to trouble shoot I changed to the basic
`notify:

  • platform: pushbullet
    name: pushbullet
    api_key: xxx

in the .yaml I think its formatted correctly but it does’t seem to be inserting correctly. Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve searched for hours but can’t get it to work.

This is the error listed by home assistant
17-04-02 19:28:01 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Not initializing notify.pushbullet because could not install dependency pushbullet.py==0.10.0
17-04-02 19:28:01 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Unable to prepare setup for platform notify.pushbullet: Could not install all requirements.
17-04-02 19:28:01 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.notify] Unknown notification service specified

Help is much appreciated

Did you try installing pushbullet.py manually?

I have, these are the commands I used

can you suggest another way?

Try to add it like htis.

notify:
- name: xiaomi
platform: pushbullet
api_key: MyKey
5

pip install pushbullet.py

EDIT:
I don’t know if hassbian is using a virtualenv tho. Maybe you have to switch to that first.

I’m a bit of a noob, can you tell me how switch to the virtualenviroment?

I tried how you have formatted that but it just gives me further errors

Yes absolutly don’t worry. I just need to verify something as I am not running hassbian myself. Is there a directory /srv/homeassistant/bin on your machine with a executable activate?

9

yes there are three activate files in there blank, .csh and .fish

10

cool so you just do:

. /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip install pushbullet.py
deactivate

If you run into some permission problems you might need to switch to the homeassistant user first.

sudo su - homeassistant
