@mfalkvidd Awesome, thanks. Now, I just need to figure how the Home-Assistant platform works!

I can't find anything regarding V_TEXT in the documentation. Is this something planned for v2?

Thanks!

If I'm understanding correctly, @sundberg84's project is too amazing compared to what I'm trying to achieve I already have a controller running (Home Assistant), I'm just looking for a way to forward notifications from this controller to a MySensors node. Home Assistant as this service called notify, with multiple implementations (XMPP, Pushbullet…). A nice way to achieve what I want would be to create a notify implementation working in pair with MySensors, by pushing an arbitrary text to a specific node.

However, I never wrote any Home Assistant components, so I'm absolutely not sure on where to start. And there may be a "standard" way to push text to a node on MySensors, but I didn't find any. I'll be happy to work on this once I have a pretty much clear idea on what to do or not, but… it's not the case right now, hence this discussion

I plan for some time now to use a small LCD screen to display information. It would be nice to integrate this via MySensors and reuse the hardware I already have set up. Exposing a notify service in HA would be a perfect match for that.

Does anybody have any hint on where to start?
