MaxNotify for Home Assistant

MaxNotify connects the Max messenger to Home Assistant: you can send messages, photos, files and videos to chats and, optionally, react to incoming messages and button presses in automations. Setup is done through the Home Assistant interface, without editing configuration files for the integration itself.

The integration works in two ways: with the official API of the Max platform, and through the notify.a161.ru service (a simplified option for those who use it). Both options are configured in the wizard when you add an entry.

Home Assistant 2026.2.0 or newer is supported (older releases may not work correctly).
