Configuration

Start with the simplest possible setup, added from the UI with no YAML at all - see the minimal page. This will allow you to notify using Notify Entities and push mobile notifications to all the devices registered in Home Assistant, without specifying any targets, or any other config.

This page onwards covers YAML configuration - still how Deliveries, transports, scenarios, recipients and cameras are set up, though archive, duplicate detection and housekeeping can also be configured from the UI.

Deliveries explains how to set up the basic notification channels you want, and Configuration Levels how to choose the best place to put configuration for simplicity, clarity and concision.

If using email attachments, e.g. from camera snapshot or a snapshot_url, some extra config needed, detailed in Multimedia Basic Configuration
