Jabber (XMPP)

The xmpp platform allows you to deliver notifications from Home Assistant to a Jabber (XMPP) account.

To enable Jabber notifications in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  - name: NOTIFIER_NAME
    platform: xmpp
    sender: YOUR_JID
    password: YOUR_JABBER_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD
    recipient: YOUR_RECIPIENT

Configuration variables:

• name (Optional): Setting the optional parameter name allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value is notify. The notifier will bind to the service notify.NOTIFIER_NAME.
• sender (Required): The Jabber ID (JID) that will act as origin of the messages. Add your JID including the domain, eg. your_name@jabber.org.
• password (Required): The password for your given Jabber account.
• recipient (Required): The Jabber ID (JID) that will receive the messages.
• tls (Optional): Allow to disable TLS. Defaults to true.
• verify (Optional): Allow disabling SSL certificate validity check (e.g., self-signed certificate). Defaults to true.

All Jabber IDs (JID) must include the domain. Make sure that the password matches the account provided as sender.
