Notifications & Sensors
Notifications
IntelliKeep sends reminders when tasks are approaching or past their due date.
How notifications work
- Notification checks run every hour
- A reminder is sent N days before a task's due date (configurable globally and per task)
- Overdue tasks also trigger a notification
- Notification deduplication is in-memory and resets on HA restart
Notification channels
| Channel | Always active | How to configure |
|---|---|---|
| HA persistent notifications | Yes | Built-in, no config needed |
| Mobile push | Optional | Set a notify.* service in Configuration |
Automation trigger
IntelliKeep fires an event you can use in HA automations:
triggers:
- trigger: event
event_type: intellikeep_task_notification
event_data:
event_type: overdue # or "approaching"
Available event data fields: task_id, title, message, event_type.
Sensor entities
IntelliKeep creates three sensor entities that you can use in dashboards and automations:
| Entity | Description |
|---|---|
sensor.intellikeep_tasks_due_today | Number of tasks due today |
sensor.intellikeep_tasks_overdue | Number of currently overdue tasks |
sensor.intellikeep_next_due_task | Name and due date of the next upcoming task |
Sensor state is refreshed:
- Immediately after any service action that changes task data
- Every 5 minutes via the scheduled coordinator refresh
