Notifications & Sensors

Notifications

IntelliKeep reminds you as tasks approach their due date, and again once they are overdue.

How notifications work

• Checks run once an hour
• A reminder goes out when a task is within its Remind me window: N days before the due date, set per task (new tasks start with the default from the integration options)
• An overdue task gets its own notification, unless Notify when overdue is off for it
• Each task is notified once per stage. This deduplication is kept in memory, so it resets when Home Assistant restarts
• Completing or deleting a task clears its notification state

Notification channels

Channel	Always active	How to configure
Home Assistant persistent notifications	Yes	Built in, no configuration needed
Mobile push (or any notify.* service)	Optional	Set a notification service in Configuration

Notification event

Every notification also fires an intellikeep_task_notification event that you can use in automations:

triggers:
  - trigger: event
    event_type: intellikeep_task_notification
    event_data:
      event_type: overdue   # or "approaching"

Field	Description
event_type	approaching or overdue
task_id	ID of the task
title	Notification title
message	Notification message
notification_id	ID of the persistent notification

Task update event

IntelliKeep also fires intellikeep_task_updated whenever a task changes, with the fields task_id and action. The action is one of created, updated, completed, reopened, deleted, note_added or note_deleted.

triggers:
  - trigger: event
    event_type: intellikeep_task_updated
    event_data:
      action: completed

See Automations for complete examples.

Sensor entities

IntelliKeep creates three sensors that you can use in dashboards and automations:

Entity	State	Attributes
sensor.intellikeep_tasks_due_today	Number of open tasks due today or already overdue	—
sensor.intellikeep_tasks_overdue	Number of overdue tasks	overdue_tasks: list with the task_id, name, due_date and priority of each overdue task
sensor.intellikeep_next_due_task	Name of the open task with the nearest due date	task_id, due_date, priority, linked_entity_ids, frequency, repeat_interval, weekdays

The entity IDs assume the default instance name; see Entity IDs.

IntelliKeep also has a to-do list and a calendar entity.

Data updates

Task state is refreshed:

• Right after any change made from the panel, the card, the to-do list or an action
• Every 5 minutes, so the counts follow the clock (a task becomes due or overdue at local midnight)
• The panel and the card receive updates as soon as the data changes, without reloading the page
