Home Assistant alerts

Send kwatch incident alerts to Home Assistant. Use the interactive manager for installation and credential setup. This page explains the provider fields and shows a minimal configuration fragment.

Before you start, have these values ready:

• token — Long-lived access token.

Credentials, tokens, keys, passwords, and webhook URLs must be mounted from a Kubernetes Secret. Use an exact ${file:/absolute/path} reference for every field marked Secret.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Secret	Validation	Default	Description
token	string	yes	yes	—	—	Long-lived access token
url	string	no	no	url	http://localhost:8123	Server URL (default: http://localhost:8123)
service	string	no	no	—	notify	Notification service (default: notify)
routes	json	no	no	json	—	Optional JSON route filters.
retry.maxAttempts	integer	no	no	integer	—	Optional maximum retry attempts.
retry.delay	string	no	no	—	—	Optional retry delay, for example 5s.
fallback	string	no	no	—	—	Optional fallback provider name.

Minimal example

Add routes, retry, and fallback when you need delivery filtering or recovery. See the channels overview for guidance, or the complete provider reference for the catalog-wide view.
