Setting up Fibaro water flood sensor for email notification

Configuration Z-Wave

hello, i am totally new to automation and rpi.
i was able to get the Fibaro on the 3rd floor paired to my gen5 z-wave stick as seen here:

i set up an account for PushBullet then entered the API token into the configuration.yaml file:

then i proceeded to make a simple test automation so that when the temp goes above 80F degrees, it will send me an email. so far that didnt work. my automations.yaml file looks like this:

i even force a test to see if email is working by going into services tab, entered the info as seen below and hit CALL Service, no email to phone yet :frowning:

please help.

Does pushbullet support emails? Did a quick look at their site and I don’t see a mention of it. Did you download their app to some device?

i dont know. i was following this doc: https://home-assistant.io/components/notify.pushbullet/

i just tried SendGrid, removing all entry of PushBullet and that didnt work…

pushbullet is not an email service.
To see your notifications, you need to install a pushbullet app.

after i installed the PushBullet app on my android phone, i got the messages now! thank you so much!
wish the instructions were clearer for newbies like myself…

Pushbullet does support emails, just the way it’s shown in the config example:
email/[email protected]
I prefer the Pushbullet app myself as well, but email does work.

something must be wrong cause email via PushBullet refuses to work using the example from the doc. i even trimmed it down to bare necessity:

without the email info, i will get the notification on my PushBullet app though as seen here:

Here’s my notification setup:

notify:
# Pushbullet Notification
  - name: mypushbullet
    platform: pushbullet
    api_key: !secret pb_api

But that part seems to work for you alright, it seems.

And this is my entry in the automation.yaml:

- alias: Plug Off
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: switch.plug
    state: 'off'
  action:
    service: notify.mypushbullet
    data_template:
      title: 'HASS says:'
      message: Plug has been turned off @{{now().strftime("%H:%M")}}h!
      target:
      - device/wgssgs7
      - email/[email protected]

Works fine and reliably every time.
