Every module that can detect a problem needs a way to say so, and for that this station uses Pushover — which is better than any email or SMS solution I have tried, and not by a small margin. A single short HTTP request from a shell script or a Python module, and the phone in your pocket makes a noise you chose, with a priority you set, on a device you nominated.
Email fails because it is where unimportant things also live, so it gets ignored. SMS fails because it costs money, needs a gateway, and has no concept of priority. Pushover has sound per priority, acknowledgement for the urgent ones, and delivery you can actually verify — which is what separates an alert from a hope.

Nothing here yet. Drop images or video into
/projects/rs1/modules/rs1-pushover/media/ and they appear on this page at the
next build — or list them in module.json with captions
to control the order and the wording.
Not published yet. Code for this module will live in
/projects/rs1/modules/rs1-pushover/ alongside its module.json, and
gets listed here once it does.
