Pi.Alert VS homebridge-raspbian-image

When using PiAlert make sure you use the fork https://github.com/jokob-sk/Pi.Alert and not the very outdated original.

For those of you who may seek help on this subject, kind leiweibau helped me in this and that conversations. There is a better and actively developed fork of this project in leiweibau's github repo. So you may want to use it.

Pi.Alert - original is here but there are more recent forks with additional features, such as this one.

/u/thekrautboy probably has the best and simplest option with Apprise here, but, if you're willing to get your hands dirty and just wanting to get the notifications in Gotify rather than email, you could modify the pialert.py script and change the send_email command to a send_gotify one using the Python documentation from Gotify here.

I just learned about https://github.com/pucherot/Pi.Alert

Pi Alert will do the job

Following this guide on the repo, I am running into this warning: [deCONZ] warning: not a deCONZ gateway

For anyone new to this game: Homebridge is far better and far easier than HOOBS to maintain over the long haul, regardless of HOOBS marketing insisting otherwise. And don't just trust me on this, ask any popular plugin developer.

I just image it with rasberry pi imager using the homebridge instructions - https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Getting-Started.

It has RTL8152B. The doc for raspian HB image here https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/Supported-Raspberry-Pi-Models

Which is different from Ring's Doorbell, but the fact still remains, Ring doesn't have a smart watch app, nor is it natively HomeKit compatible. However if you set up Homebridge for it, you can make it so.

The same Raspberry Pi that Homebridge is on, I'd imagine. It's included as an extra package in the official installer image: https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-raspbian-image/wiki/How-To-Install-AdGuard-Home

As for the original issue - you may have downloaded a corrupt image - if you really want to use their image (rather than build the OS then install) download it from here but check the sha256 of the downloaded file before using Etcher. I use QuickHash on my Mac but other programs exist for all platforms.
