40-43: Clarify that authentication is optional and link to configuration parameters.The new paragraph explains access token authentication, but it’s not clear that providing credentials is optional. Consider adding a note or cross-reference to the “Username (optional)” and “Password (optional)” fields in the Configuration parameters section so users know they only need authentication for protected topics.
104-111: Enhance readability of Known limitations section.Rather than a single paragraph, break the limits into a bullet list or add an admonition block for clarity:
- Burst capacity: 60 messages (refills at one message per 5 s; full capacity in 5 min)
- Account limits: Vary by tier—see Account → Usage
- Self-hosted: Configure limits on your own instance
This will make it easier for users to scan.
112-117: Fix minor grammatical issue in Troubleshooting.In the first troubleshooting sentence, insert “is” before “reachable”:
- “…verify that your network connection is stable and the ntfy service is reachable.”
Also consider breaking the long paragraph into steps or bullet points to improve scannability.

38-43: Clarify and tighten Authentication wording
The new Authentication section is helpful, but the phrasing can be more concise and align with existing Home Assistant docs style. Consider simplifying sentences and avoiding passive constructions.Proposed diff:
-2. **Authentication (optional)** - - Depending on whether the server is configured to support access control, some topics may be read/write protected so that only users with the correct credentials can subscribe or publish to them. - - The **ntfy** integration uses **access token** authentication to access protected topics. When you provide your ntfy username and password, Home Assistant automatically generates and uses an access token for authentication. +2. **Authentication (optional)** + + If your ntfy server enforces access control, topics may require authentication to subscribe or publish. + + When you enter a username and password, Home Assistant automatically generates and manages an access token for you.
104-111: Standardize link formatting in Known limitations
Great addition of rate‐limit details! To maintain consistency across the docs, avoid bolding link text. Also consider referring to the “ntfy service” rather than embedding bold inside the link.Proposed diff:
-**ntfy** imposes various rate and usage limits. The official [**ntfy.sh**](https://ntfy.sh/) server allows up to **60 messages in a burst**, with a **replenishment rate of one message every 5 seconds** (i.e., the full 60-message capacity refills in 5 minutes). +**ntfy** imposes various rate and usage limits. The official [ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh/) service allows up to **60 messages in a burst**, with a **replenishment rate of one message every 5 seconds** (i.e., the full 60-message capacity refills in 5 minutes).
112-117: Enhance Troubleshooting as step-by-step guidance
The Troubleshooting section is comprehensive but presented as a single paragraph. Converting it into a bullet list will improve readability and help users follow the steps more easily.Example refactor:
- The **ntfy** integration relies on an active internet connection to communicate with the ntfy service. If you encounter issues, verify that your network connection is stable and the ntfy service is reachable. Additionally, the ntfy service itself may experience downtime, whether unexpected or due to scheduled maintenance. - - In any case, when reporting an issue, please enable [debug logging](/docs/configuration/troubleshooting/#debug-logs-and-diagnostics), restart the integration, and as soon as the issue reoccurs, stop the debug logging again (*download of debug log file will start automatically*). Further, if still possible, please also download the [diagnostics](/integrations/diagnostics) data. If you have collected the debug log and the diagnostics data, provide them with the issue report. + The **ntfy** integration relies on an active internet connection and the availability of the ntfy service. + + If you encounter issues, follow these steps: + - Verify your network connection is stable and the ntfy service is reachable.
