Home Assistant

Telstra

The telstra notification platform allows you to deliver Home Assistant notifications to Australian phone numbers over the Telstra SMS API.

To enable the Telstra notifications in your installation, you must first create an account and API app over at dev.telstra.com. The free tier allows for a maximum of 1000 free messages.

After your API app is approved, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  name: NOTIFIER_NAME
  platform: telstra
  consumer_key: TELSTRA_API_CONSUMER_KEY_HERE
  consumer_secret: TELSTRA_API_CONSUMER_SECRET_HERE
  phone_number: SMS_RECIPIENT_PHONE_NUMBER_HERE

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.
  • consumer_key (Required): The consumer key of your Telstra API app.
  • consumer_secret (Required): The consumer secret of your Telstra API app.
  • phone_number (Required): The phone number of where the notifications will be sent.

To use notifications, please see the getting started with automation page.
