Notifications from Home Assistant to Ubuntu Devices

[eharrison84]

Don't know if I just haven't found the right place or the setup, but can System-Bridge do notifications for Ubuntu devices from Home Assistant?

You will find a Home Assistant Action (used to be called Service) called notify.system_bridge_<id> where id is the name of the device.

You will also need to be able to use the notify-send command https://github.com/timmo001/system-bridge/blob/4b049ab20747277c090bd1427f7b805b0014406e/utils/handlers/notification/notification_linux.go#L34C23-L34C34

Yes! Thankfully notify-send is installed by default on Ubuntu (ubuntu-desktop package depends on libnotify-bin).

Should have also said that system-bridge probably needs to be running as the logged in desktop user, but I haven't tested that.

Don't know why it works now but yea!!!

One more question. Can a camera's snapshot be added to the notification?
