More than one SMTP "notifier"?

Configuration
1

Hey everyone, This is my 1st post and I just started working on my HASS implementation about a week ago.

I’m using HA in an iocage “jail” on my freenas 11.2 homeserver.

So far I’ve figured out most things but ran into an issue.

In my configuration.yaml I have a working SMTP notifier like this:

  - name: notifier_sms_dad
    platform: smtp
    server: smtp.gmail.com
    port: 587
    timeout: 15
    sender: [email protected]
    encryption: starttls
    username: [email protected]
    password: secret
    recipient: 
     - [email protected]
    sender_name: My Home Assistant

Great! that works, but when I try to create another one like this:

notify:
  - name: notifier_sms_liam
    platform: smtp
    server: smtp.gmail.com
    port: 587
    timeout: 15
    sender: [email protected]
    encryption: starttls
    username: [email protected]
    password: secret
    recipient: 
     - [email protected]
    sender_name: Smusz Home Assistant

I can test the config, restart the server, and all is good.

HOWEVER …

I can only use one of the services, usually the “2nd” one in the yaml file (last one to load).

I can use the service “notify.notifier_sms_liam” but the 1st one I configured: notify.notifier_sms_dad is now gone?

On the doc page it says you can create as many of these as you might need but I’m stumped?

What is your question?

are you repeating the notify: line? You shouldn’t. It should be

notify:
  - name: notifier_sms_liam
    platform: smtp 
    rest of defintion
  - name: notfifier_sms_dad
    platform: smtp
    etc...
