It has 167 installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated September 6, 2026. Universal Notifier centralizes notifications to Telegram, mobile apps, Alexa, Google Home and similar targets. It adds a single send service that can deliver one alert to several channels, such as both Telegram and Alexa. Text messages get a prefix with the assistant name and time, while spoken messages use clean text only. Voice volume follows morning, afternoon, evening and night time slots, with separate weekday and weekend settings, and quiet hours hold back voice messages unless a notification is marked priority. Voice messages are queued so they play one after another, and media player state is saved and restored afterward. Greetings are picked at random from editable lists, and channels are managed through the UI with no YAML. Automatic summary of the README and code of jumping2000/universal\_notifier.

The component adjusts the volume before speaking. > - Do Not Disturb (DND): Define quiet hours for voice assistants.
