Ntfy.sh – Send push notifications to your phone via PUT/POST

Re:Ntfy.sh – Send push notifications to your phone via PUT/POST by spuz on Tuesday November 08, 2022 @07:56AM (#33518492)

When I was making my IoT washing machine sensor, I used Blynk.io to push notifications to my phone but of course that service became commercialised and is no longer free. I could not find any nice easy to use alternative except for Telegram which is what I use now. This service looks exactly like what I would need and I appreciate the promise to keep it open source.

https://pushover.net/ Has existed for several years. It works great for me.

Thanks, I may have dismissed Pushover simply because it isn't free but a $5 one time purchase is actually not too bad.

It's practically free. I bought the app once many years ago and have never sent more than 1000 pushes a month.

Additionally they support "Critical Alerts" on iOS for when you really need to get a notification regardless of whether or not you've muted your device. Probably something similar is possible on Android as well?

Yes, emergency priority: ignores do-not-disturb, full volume, and repeats every x minutes until acknowledged (x is configurable when sending the notification).

On Android, Pushover is able to (optionally) play notification sounds for high-priority messages through the alarm channel like an alarm app would, so it can bypass the device's mute switch.

This has been requested in ntfy as well. I'll likely implement that eventually. Sounds like a great feature.

+1 for pushover

I’ve been using for quite a fee years. The app is not free but once you pay the one-time fee for the app, they have a generous free tier for personal use, and it has worked quite flawlessly for me so far.

Yep. Same for me. Reliable, not subscription based and very easy to integrate. Nothing fancy in a positive manner.

I'm using Pushover a lot, it exists for a very long time, never changes and just works. It's also very easy to wire it up to existing tools as it can listen to webhooks.

In my case I just did that recently to receive webhooks and send them to my phone: https://blog.notmyhostna.me/posts/push-notifications-from-ap...

I've used pushover for years as well. I wish they would charge me $5/y instead of a $5/lifetime. I've asked them to do that. I want this service to last.

I set up Tasker on my phone such that when a specific low-priority (no visible/audible alert) message from pushover, containing only a hash key, is received it picks it up and does an HTTPS request to my self-hosted server to retrieve the actual notification text.

I have a bash/websocat client connected 24/7 to wss://client.pushover.net/ as well that I should probably put up on git for other people.

Pushover requires a monthly subscription for teams. I guess that’s what most of their revenue comes from anyway.

Re:Ntfy.sh – Send push notifications to your phone via PUT/POST by there on Tuesday November 08, 2022 @09:54AM (#33519620)

That is correct. Pushover has been around for 10 years now and I get most of its financial support from Team subscriptions.

Any individual users wanting to support Pushover are welcome to join as a personal Team with 1 member :)

Also pushover fan. I have come to rely on it for critical monitoring alerts, and have not yet experienced failure in many years of use.

I've been using Prowl for 13 years and haven't ever had a problem. I paid for the app once and that was that.

Fun seeing everyone's ad-hoc solutions for this!

Personally I setup a Slack server and use webhooks to push events to a channel there. Works great :)

I'm building exactly this right now for my first hardware project. Have you published any notes anywhere?

Got any more information on what you're doing with your washing machine? I have this[1] running for the past four years with Telegram without a hitch but I'm curious on what you're doing!
