I'm trying to setup SMTP notify in configuration.yaml. As long as I only put in the following, the notify.email is an option but as soon as I had the line server: "smtp.domain.com" in configuratin.yaml it no longer works. Obviously the server, sender and recipient lines are actual ones to be used, not the fillers here. Any ideas? If I can't get past this I have no hope of making email notifications. HA version I'm using is core 2025.1.0, supervisor 2024.12.3 , operating system 14.1, frontend 20240103.0

Example configuration.yaml entry (This works as far as notify.email becomes an available action)

notify:

Hi, did you solve this issue? I'm using the Notify action with a gmail server for years now, it's been perfect, but over the last few weeks I've been getting a Repair notification that says automation has an unknown action: notify.gmail though the notification actually works OK. This is my config:

  - name: gmail
    platform: smtp 
    server: smtp.gmail.com 
    port: 587
    timeout: 15 
    sender: xxx@gmail.com
    encryption: starttls
    username: xxx@gmail.com
    password: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    recipient: 
      - xxx@gmail.com
    sender_name: Xxxxxx Home Assistant ```

I haven't solved it. Having searched in many places for the answer, it seems that SMTP only works consistently with gmail. I had to setup a gmail account for the purpose of notify, which isn't exactly intuitive. That took a few hours of fiddley stuff. It seems to work, but the notifications I'm looking to receive are hopefully rare. Out of bounds type temps and humidity's. I can force trigger and the notifications go out, but haven't had them trigger based on actual data yet.

Running on the same issue. I guess still not fixed?
