+
+[GNTP](http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/help/gntp.aspx) is a specification for sending and receiving notifications between computers. The most well known server implementations are [Growl](http://growl.info) for Mac and [Growl for Windows](http://www.growlforwindows.com/gfw/).
+
+To use GNTP notifications, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+notify:
+  name: NOTIFER_NAME
+  platform: gntp
+```
+
+GNTP will attempt to connect to a local server running on port 23053 if no `hostname` is provided.
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **name** (*Optional*): Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value is `notify`. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
+- **app_name** (*Optional*): The application name that will be displayed on every notification and will be registered with the server.
+- **app_icon** (*Optional*): The icon that will be displayed on every notification. You can provide a HTTP URL or a `file://` URL. File URLs only work if Home Assistant and the GNTP server are running on the same machine. If no `app_icon` is set a local copy of the Home Assistant logo will be used. If you choose to use a HTTP URL please make the maximum image size 150 px by 150 px as Growl for Mac will sometimes timeout when registering.
+- **hostname** (*Optional*): The hostname or IP address of the GNTP server to contact.
+- **password** (*Optional*): The password to authenticate to the GNTP server with.
+- **port** (*Optional*): The port that the GNTP server runs on. The specification states that servers should not allow users to use any port other than 23053 but `port` is provided here just in case.
