Ok, so if I would like to have a motion sensor (and maybe a camera) attached to a server on a rasperry pi which sends alerts to my smartphone ... how much work and tinkering can I expect at the current state, if I am very good in javascript, node and linux, but not at "low level" things?

Try either the e-mail sender add-on or the twilio add-on, then create rules that notify you via one of those methods. Camera integration is tricky, mostly due to the lack of standards around data streams and extra sensors/actuators, dealt with in different ways by different vendors. Other binary sensors or variable sensors can be triggered easily with rules to notify you of things you care about.
