EHMTX Notify component for Home Assistant

Intro

If you use EHMTX with home assistant you can show notification with esphome service calls. Some situations are easier when you use notfiy call. This component translates notifier calls to the corresponding esphome calls. For full functionality you should still use esphome calls.

Installation

You can either use HACS or install the component manually:

• Put the files from /custom_components/ehmtx/ in your folder <config directory>/custom_components/ehmtx/

If you wish to add to the provided application images (such as Netflix) place '.png' images with names the same as the application in the following folder:

• <config directory>/custom_components/ehmtx/static/

For channels where there is no EPG, this can also be utilised to provide a channel image. Place an image file in the same directory with the same name as your channel source name (e.g. raiuno.png).

YAML

Add a ehmtx platform entry in your configuration.yaml as below.

Example of basic configuration.yaml

  - platform: ehmtx
    name: myehmtx32
