# Notifications

Source: https://autoarm.rhizomatics.org.uk/configuration/notifications/

Notifications is set up via the integration settings.

Two notifications are sent:

- Alarm status has changed, by any means
- A button has been pressed, and the arm status will be actioned with a few seconds delay

### Basic Notification

If Supernotify is not installed then only the standard Home Assistant [Send Message](https://www.home-assistant.io/actions/notify.send_message/) is supported, which offers only a *message* to a configured *Notify Entity*.

### Supernotify

If [Supernotify](https://supernotify.rhizomatics.org.uk) is installed, its `supernotify.notify` action is offered first in the **Notification Action** list, and is preselected on new installs have it already selected.

It offers:

- [Mobile Actions](https://autoarm.rhizomatics.org.uk/configuration/mobile_actions/index.md) to disarm, reset or arm away from pop-up actions on the mobile app notification.
- Automatic targets - leave the targets blank to let Supernotify choose who to notify based on its auto-discovery of mobile apps
- Defined targets - Add targets from a list of Home Assistant notifiable entities, selectors like *area* or *label*, email addresses or other types like `discord` or SMS numbers that Supernotify can be configured for.
- Voice notifications - using Alexa devices, or the `tts` integration
- Delivery choice - custom select which deliveries you want, from a list populated automatically from what the local Supernotify can do
- Automatic selection of Supernotift **scenarios**

#### Priority

- **Priority** can be set separately for three kinds of change
  - **Scheduled changes** - Times of the Day sensor, calendar, sunrise or sunset, `low` unless changed
  - **Occupancy changes** - people arriving or leaving, `medium` unless changed
  - **Manual changes** - alarm panel, button, mobile action or voice, `medium` unless changed

#### Scenarios

**Scenarios** are automatically sent for each notification, which a name based on the new alarm state and an `autoarm-` prefix, such as `autoarm-armed_away` or `autoarm-disarmed`. For convenience, all armed states all supply a `autoarm-armed` scenario.

Define any of these as [Supernotify Scenarios](https://supernotify.rhizomatics.org.uk/latest/configuration/scenarios/) to tune the deliveries, sounds, actions or wording for that state, the ones not defined there are ignored

#### Mobile Actions

**Mobile Actions** have their titles in the Home Assistant language, and leave out any that would do nothing, so there's no *Disarm* when the alarm has just been disarmed, nor *Arm Away* when it has just been armed away

### YAML Notification Configuration

This is a left-over from when everything was in YAML, and is now deprecated. The details are in the [advanced configuration](https://autoarm.rhizomatics.org.uk/configuration/advanced_config/#advanced-notifications).
