  1. How do I send a notification to a list of people via BCC (I have it working in the 'to' field.)

  2. How do I send the date/time & sensor data with the message?

this is what I am currently using and it's not working

data:
  message: "Current voltage is {{ states('sensor.ups_input_voltage') }}"

as something as simple as this says "[attachment(s) removed]

data:
  message: "Current voltage is xyz"

the service doesn't support bcc as far ac I can tell.

#

google_mail integration does

#

Wow, that is very helpful. Thanks!

#

Hours/Days of googling and I never came across that integration. Crazy

#

Likely incorrect search terms like "notifications smtp" instead of "google mail" lol

Anyone got a fix/help for this:

you can't comment things out and use the GUI

#

if you want comments, you have to use yaml

neat storm
#

But I am using the yaml 'mode'

smoky zenith
#

but you're using the GUI

#

you have to go 100% yaml outside the UI

neat storm
#

Ahh so file editor

#

To confirm my understanding:

edits in GUI [either yaml or gui] = cleaned code

edits in file editor = stay as I like

smoky zenith
#

not exactly

#

if you're still in automations.yaml, the GUI will take control of it

#

you'll have to completely separate your yaml only automations into a separate file for the UI to leave it alone

neat storm
#

So I literally can never open the GUI again if I want comments and stuff?

smoky zenith
#

you can have both

neat storm
#

Ohh okay so the drz thing with using the pointers !automation.yaml

smoky zenith
#

yes

neat storm
#

Copy I was wondering how to get my secrets into the GUI and it never worked lol

smoky zenith
#

well, i'm assuming yes, i've never seen his stuff
