Gladys VS Healthchecks

We are making Gladys Assistant ( https://gladysassistant.com/ ), an open-source smart home software.

It's less "techy" than HA (no YAML files, no CLI), and UI first.

We have way less integrations for now, but are working hard on it.

Don't hesitate to try it and make us some feedback.

My name is Pierre-Gilles and I'm the core maintainer of Gladys Assistant, an open-source smart home software based on Node.js/Preact.js (https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys).

Nice project! Just one question, how do you find open-source projects?

I'm the core maintainer of an open-source smart home software (https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys, 2.2k stars, has been existing since 2014), and is not listed, any reason why? :)

Don't forget to stop writing to the database while doing the backup, otherwise you can run into an infinite loop if you write faster than sqlite3 .backup is doing the backup :D

Learned that the hard way when implementing sqlite3 backups on Gladys Assistant ( open-source home automation platform https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys )

In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent.

Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system - maybe there are cases where you send false-positives and needlessly trigger external system alerts. The customer Wasm could do more introspection on the healthcheck event and make a more informed decision about how to proceed.

i use healthchecks.io and have been very happy

Is there anything different from https://healthchecks.io/ --- a service I've been using for free for a couple years now?

Because of this block on the router, and the fact that IPv6 connections are by default preferred over IPv4, many things on the system now cannot access the internet. the only things that can access the internet are for accessing servers that ONLY support IPv4 like my mail.smpt2go or my uptime monitoring scripts for healthchecks.io.

i use https://healthchecks.io/ and highly recommend it.

We use a heartbeat system. Basically the monitoring continuously sends an alert to a healtcheck system. If that heartbeat fails, PagerDuty sends an alert to the oncall.

i like healthchecks.io

There are some good (free!) monitors out there, I have used and like healthchecks.io and cronitor.io
