Webhook payload + event names
Each escalation tier can fire a signed HTTP POST your automation listens for. The payload carries the reminder id, the tier, and the acknowledgement state, so Home Assistant can react differently as the reminder climbs.
Use case · Home Assistant
Home Assistant reminders that make the house notice.
When a screen is not enough, RemindRelay can reach into your smart home. Wire an escalation tier to a Home Assistant automation or a signed webhook and turn a reminder into pulsing lights, a paused TV, or a spoken announcement — until it is acknowledged.
Acknowledgement flow
When the reminder is acknowledged — by tap, reply, or a returned webhook — the relay stops and a resolve event fires, so your automation can switch the lights back and end any announcement loop.
Security model & status
Webhooks are signed so your endpoint can verify they came from RemindRelay, and you choose exactly which tiers fire them. Home Assistant and webhook integration are part of the platform’s design and roll out through early access — join the waitlist to help shape the event schema.

FAQ
Common questions.
How does the Home Assistant integration work?
A reminder can fire a signed webhook at the escalation tiers you choose. Home Assistant listens for it and runs any automation — lights, media, speakers — then a resolve event fires on acknowledgement.
Is the webhook secure?
Webhooks are signed so your endpoint can verify authenticity, and you control which tiers send them. Never expose secrets in your automation logs.
