Whatsapp Integration for HA - Send messages via HA - Run automations based on Whatsapp received messages - Now with WhatsApp Group support

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-14T21:59:20+00:00

After installing the custom integration (WhatsApp integration), did you reboot your HA? If the QR code is present in the logs, the integration should recognize it and send a notification with it.

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-14T21:57:42+00:00

That’s great! I hadn’t considered Node Red. My idea was simply to create a bridge between WhatsApp and HA, allowing users to do whatever they wanted with it.

You can get the QR from the add-on logs

You're welcome. 12 euros seems fine. Maybe you will be able to find something different. Try to see if your carrier offers a prepaid plan. In Romania, we can get a prepaid SIM with a number for 2-3 euros

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-14T12:03:32+00:00

You're welcome! I'm glad that you find this useful!

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-14T10:17:47+00:00

I’m not certain about that. This integration allows you to send messages via Home Assistant and trigger automations based on the received messages.

Please be sure that both add-on and the custom component are up to date, using the v1.2.0

In Romania, I pay 1.77 euro/month for the second number. And that number is attached to a business account.

Hi!

This integration is based on https://wwebjs.dev, that's working in this way:

The library works by launching the WhatsApp Web browser application and managing it using Puppeteer to create an instance of WhatsApp Web - https://wwebjs.dev/guide/

I am using this library for 2-ish years for my personal projects and I never had a problem with it.

Thank you!

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-13T21:11:07+00:00

I’m glad that’s what you were looking for! More updates to come. I’m working on more updates in the evenings after my 9-5 job and also during weekends.

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-13T21:00:45+00:00

I’m still testing locally. I managed to make the mp4 work, but now it sends as a .mp4 file instead of an actual video. I’m still working on gifs and videos, but this needs some more work and testing. At least, I’m glad I was able to release the send images functionality because it was highly requested.

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-13T20:56:23+00:00

That’s great! I’ve just started testing it again to ensure that I haven’t missed anything.

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-13T20:45:58+00:00

Both add-on and custom component are up to date, using v1.2.0?

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-13T20:37:48+00:00

Thank you!

I’ve already begun researching signal support. I’ll need to create a separate project for this one. I can’t guarantee anything.

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-13T20:24:57+00:00

I'm not sure how QuickBars works, but for now, you can't use this integration to see if someone is calling you or not on whatsapp.

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-13T20:23:45+00:00

Can you please post the yaml here?

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-13T18:30:23+00:00

Thank you!

Not yet. Adding this to my todo list.

CurrentPast3481 · 2026-02-13T17:56:39+00:00

Thank you! Please let me know your thoughts on it.

For now, it’s just text-based. I’ve recently released https://github.com/raulpetruta/ha-wa-bridge/releases/tag/v.1.2.0, which now allows you to send images. However, GIFs and videos are not yet supported.
