Is it possible to configure pushover from the web gui or is the CLI required? I may have imagined it but I thought I saw pushover show up in the gui but I can’t find it now.
You need to configure it manually in YAML → Pushover - Home Assistant
Thanks. I modified the configration.yaml using the vscode addin. In general, do I have to reload the supervisor (or do something else) to make config changes take effect? Also, to test it, is this an Action type of Call Service and a Service of Notifications:pushover?
I just created a new automation which triggers at a fixed time and has one action: send a notification to my iPad. I did not receive a notification.
alias: New Automation
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: time
at: '11:41'
condition: []
action:
- service: notify.mobile_app_ipad_pro_3
data:
message: Test 1234!
mode: single
You need to restart Home Assistant for these changes to take effect.
Afterwards go to Developer Tools → Services and see if you have a new service notify.xxx
.
Yes, I now have notify.home_assistant (probably need to rename that to show it is via Pushover).
As to why the Notification to the iPAd does not work. Does that require more than the message body to be specified?
You need to change the service to the notify.xxx
service that you found under Developer Tools → Services
You can also test the service there as well instead of creating an automation.
The service that uses pushover is called notify.home_assistant and it works.
The service that in theory sends a notification to the iPad is called notify.mobile_app_ipad_pro_3 but I can’t get that to do anything.
I don’t know how to change the name of the pushover service but it is not critical as long as I remember what it is
It has the name that you defined in the pushover condiguration in configuration.yaml
That’s something completely different, you opened the topic about the pushover config and now you ask about a mobile app notification. Did you test the service under Developer Tools → Services? Do you get any error message?
You are quite right. I should’ve started a new topic on this notification failure. I tried running it from Services in developer tools but there is no error message.
