[RELEASE] Home Assistant Device Bridge (HADB)

[jlv]

@jlv

If HADB brought over the notify._speak and notify._announce entities, those could get mapped to component devices with a capability "Notification" and invoke the callService directly. They'd just be directly usable in HE anywhere notification was wanted.

I created a pull request to implement this change.

With this change, if you import from HA the Alexa _speak and/or _announce entities, you can just sent notifications to them from the regular notification selection. E.g.,

(this sends a push to my app, an email via the new built-in mail notifier, and makes an announcement (with a ding) on my Echo Show. The "on Net" is because HADB devices are connected to my main hub via HubMesh).

Just to note: this does not use the HA Alexa Skill, but instead just the (free) Alexa Devices integration (Alexa Devices - Home Assistant).
