Getting Started

HACS

Make sure you have HACS installed

If not, check the HACS Instructions. Supernotify is one of the default repositories in HACS so no custom repo configuration required

Installation

From the HACS page on Home Assistant, select Supernotify in the list of available integrations

HACS Selection

Configure

Supernotify can be set up either from the UI or from YAML.

For a zero-configuration setup with everything auto-discovered (mobile push, an existing SMTP integration or any notify entities, recipients from Home Assistant persons), go to Settings → Devices & Services → Add Integration and search for Supernotify. Archive, duplicate detection and housekeeping settings can be adjusted afterwards from the integration's Configure option.

Deliveries, transports, scenarios, recipients and cameras are still configured via YAML for now - see the Configuration pages.

Send

Send a test notification from Developer Tools Action Tab or start sending notifications from automations.

Dev Tools Action

This first notification will go out all mobile devices in the house. To limit it, list the mobile devices, or the person entities as targets in the notification:

Notify All The Mobile Devices for One Person

Add a Notification Action to an Automation

Select Action

Configure Action

Removal

From the HACS menu, select Supernotify and chose Remove from the ... menu.

Cleaning Up Config

  1. Any manually created YAML files in the config directory will be untouched, remove these manually if confident they won't be needed again.
  2. Any archived notifications will remain, by default in /config/archive/supernotify directory unless configured otherwise. Remove this directory if needed.
  3. If using cameras or image attachments, media files may be left, by default in /config/media/supernotify directory unless configured otherwise. Remove this directory if needed.
  4. Templates may be left behind, by default in a supernotify/templates directory under your Home Assistant config directory unless configured otherwise. Remove this directory if needed.
