Get notifications and now images sent to your mobile from Home Assistant so you can keep an eye on your house. If you own a Synology NAS, this is a totally free notification option with no file limits. Awesome! No Android smart watch support for Chat just yet but hopefully that is coming soon. An example script that uses the platform is shown below - service: notify.hass_synochat data: message: "Pool Gate was opened" data: file_url: http://ipaddressofhass:8123/local/images/pool_gate.jpg N.B Ensure you turn off your phones battery optimisation feature for the Synology Chat app otherwise you won't get notifications coming through in near real time. Buy your Synology NAS here . Home Assistant Chat add-on here . Info on the Synology Chat platform is here .
