Home Assistant

This custom component sends events from Home Assistant straight to Notifery. Hook it up to sensors, automations, or scripts and get notified when things happen around your house.

What you need

1. A Notifery account with a zone and API key (see Getting Started)
2. Access to your Home Assistant filesystem

Installation

There’s no HACS support yet, so you install it manually:

1. Download or clone the home-assistant-integration repo
2. Copy the home-assistant-integration folder into your Home Assistant custom_components directory
3. Rename that folder to notifery
4. Restart Home Assistant

It should look like this when you’re done:

custom_components/
└── notifery/
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── config_flow.py
    ├── const.py
    ├── manifest.json
    └── services.yaml

Configuration

Once Home Assistant is back up:

1. Go to Settings > Devices & Services
2. Click + ADD INTEGRATION
3. Search for Notifery and select it
4. Paste in your zone API key
5. Click Submit

Tip

Your API key lives in the Notifery app under your zone’s Settings > API keys.

Automation examples

Here are a few automations that actually make sense in a real home.

Door or window opened

automation:
  - alias: "Notify when front door opens"
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id: binary_sensor.front_door
        to: "on"
    action:
      - service: notifery.send_event
        data:
          group: security
          title: "Door Alert"
          message: "Front door was opened at {{ now().strftime('%H:%M:%S') }}"
          code: 0

Motion detected

automation:
  - alias: "Motion in backyard"
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id: binary_sensor.backyard_motion
        to: "on"
    action:
      - service: notifery.send_event
        data:
          group: security
          title: "Motion Detected"
          message: "Backyard motion sensor triggered at {{ now().strftime('%H:%M') }}"
          code: 0

Low battery warning

automation:
  - alias: "Low battery notification"
    trigger:
      - platform: numeric_state
        entity_id:
          - sensor.living_room_motion_battery
          - sensor.front_door_battery
          - sensor.garage_sensor_battery
        below: 20
    action:
      - service: notifery.send_event
        data:
          group: maintenance
          title: "Low Battery"
          message: "{{ trigger.to_state.name }} is at {{ trigger.to_state.state }}%"
          code: 1

Washing machine finished

automation:
  - alias: "Washing machine finished"
    trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id: sensor.washing_machine_status
        from: "Running"
        to: "Idle"
        for:
          minutes: 2
    action:
      - service: notifery.send_event
        data:
          group: household
          title: "Laundry Done"
          message: "The washing machine has finished its cycle"
          code: 0

Freezer temperature warning

automation:
  - alias: "Freezer temperature warning"
    trigger:
      - platform: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.freezer_temperature
        above: -10
    action:
      - service: notifery.send_event
        data:
          group: climate
          title: "Freezer Warning"
          message: "Freezer temperature is {{ trigger.to_state.state }}°C, check the door"
          code: 1

Automation reload

automation:
  - alias: "Notify on automation reload"
    trigger:
      - platform: event
        event_type: automation_reloaded
    condition:
      - condition: template
        value_template: "{{ trigger.event.data.service == 'automation.turn_on' }}"
    action:
      - service: notifery.send_event
        data:
          group: system
          title: "Automation Reloaded"
          message: "An automation was reloaded at {{ now().strftime('%H:%M:%S') }}"
          code: 0

Tip

You can also fire notifery.send_event manually from Developer Tools > Services if you want to test things without writing a full automation.

Troubleshooting

Not getting notifications? Check these in order:

• Is your API key correct? Copy it fresh from your zone settings.
• Do your group aliases match exactly what’s in Notifery? They are case-sensitive.
• Can your Home Assistant instance reach https://api.notifery.com?
• Check the Home Assistant logs for errors from the notifery custom component.
• Make sure the integration actually loaded by looking for it under Settings > Devices & Services.
