More Information
Notify Switch adds HomeKit switches that send a preset message when turned on, usually from an automation, then turn themselves off. One switch can reach a recipient group over SMS (Twilio), email (Twilio Email or any SMTP mailbox), Telegram (a bot the user creates), and ntfy (ntfy.sh or self-hosted). Delivery is direct with the user's own credentials; there is no relay service and nothing contacts a host the user has not configured.
