How to get notifications

Welcome to Hubitat.
In order to get notifications, you must have a device previously set up that supports notifications.

  1. Audio notifications: Perhaps the easiest of all notifications is the audio notifications to Sonos devices, using the built in driver/app. Audio notifications to alexa & google home devices also work, but usually require a 3rd party add on.
  2. Text notifications. This can be done via a variety of ways.
    a) Twillio - low cost 3rd party add on
    b) standard Linux SendMail on a RPI (this is what I use from @erktrek)
    Email Notifications Driver using Node/sendmail on a PI
    c) SendMail on the Hubitat (see SendMail from @kahn-hubitat) ; usually requires a email address on a local provider
    Sendmail - Send email and text notifications, (notification device) no local server needed
    d) Pushover driver
    e) In order to get notifications to the Hubitat mobile app, the mobile app should setup a device for you - use that device to send notifications
    I think that should get you started on the road that is most appropriate for you.
