NPushOver VS Gotify

The general ones that use email never seem to send anything. The ones that specifically use Gmail don't work anymore since Google apparently changed some security settings. And the one that uses Pushover didn't work AND wanted me to pay too much for their app.

check out pushover, I use it for this exact case

I use Pushover for receiving alerts and notifications on my phone. I think the mobile app may cost a small amount like $5 USD, but the service is free for up to 10,000 notifications per month. I can't recommend Pushover enough. It is freaking awesome.

I used to use PushBullet but they stopped supporting iOS which is why I came to Now Push. I may use https://pushover.net/ instead, there doesn't seem to be a ton of alternatives.

Rather than reinvent the wheel, I'd just use Pushover.

I use Pushover for my iOS devices, it's absolutely solid and affordable. :)

I'm using Pushover but I don't think the transport matters. By default it sends you a mib code but you can customize the notifications with templates. Here are couple examples.

I use diun. I configured it to notify me of available updates via pushover. I then update my containers when I have time to ensure they've restarted correctly. The whole process takes maybe a minute or two and I never worry about something failing silently.

I'm playing with an esp8266 providing WiFi to an Arduino with this library. I have it set up properly to POST to Pushover as well as requestbin, and between the debug output and the interface from these tools, I can verify that the request data is being POSTed properly, and the esp8266 / arduino unit's response status code properly shows 200.

How about a Pushover or similar implementation? Thanks for your initiative!

I use apprise with Gotify

If you do not need the state tracking, but instead need something that can deliver push notifications to you, check out ntfy and gotify

Gotify (version 2.5.1): A client for receiving push notifications

I've found Gotify to work well for that

Just FYI - there's also shoutrrr and gotify with similar functionality. I've tried them, they're very good, but not fitting my (very humble) needs.

Been looking for something for push notifications for a while now. How is ntfy working out for you? Have you ever used gotify?

You can self host a Gotify server (single file executable, web interface), install the app, set it to connect to the server on the local network. Sending a message is as easy as a curl to the server. It will show up in the apps.

The problem is that there is no iOS app. You could use the browser there but maybe ntfy would be a better fit (Android + iOS.)
