Send Smart Home Notifications via WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram with Home Assistant 🚀

Hey everyone,

I just uploaded a new video on my YouTube channel where I show how to send smart home notifications with Home Assistant directly to WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram.

👉 The video itself is in German, but YouTube’s auto-generated English subtitles are pretty solid and make it easy to follow along even if you don’t speak German.

Or just connecting your smart home directly to your favorite messenger app

Would love to hear your feedback and if you’ve tried something similar with Home Assistant! 🙌

Thanks. Can you motivate why this would be needed? HA can send notifications to the smartphone app? Why getting them as whatsapp notifications is better?

You could send notifications to others that don't have the HA companion app on their phones.
