Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Not receiving alerts
I see that the alertr.de website is down, and it appears that the server responds with error 10 when I try to test send a message. Is it a problem on the server side or do I have to do some more debugging on my side?

Monitoring Linux hosts for security breaches and using AlertR as notification channel
Around Christmas I published a handful of scripts I use internally to monitor my Linux hosts for security breaches (https://github.com/sqall01/LSMS). Somehow, it got a lot of attention which I did not expected. Since these scripts can be used with AlertR, I decided to additionally write a tutorial how you can set up both projects to work with each other. Here is the link: https://github.com/sqall01/alertR/wiki/Tutorial-SensorClientFIFO-LinuxSecurityMonitoring

Version 0.900 released
The awesome news: AlertR now supports the new data type: GPS. With GPS a position and the time it was recorded is stored. But this alone is not awesome but just lame. The awesome thing is that a new sensor client was added: Sensor Client GPS. This sensor fetches periodically GPS data from a provider and allows you to use geofencing to monitor if the monitored GPS device is outside or inside a specific area. Naturally, this new client comes with its own Tutorial. Personally, I use it to monitor if my car is parked at home and as car alarm system with the help of an old Android mobile phone.

Template for Sensor Client now available
For a long time, there were templates for Alert and Manager clients. Meaning, a developer has an easy way to start writing native Alert and Manager clients for AlertR. However, a template for Sensor clients was missing. With the restructuring of how the sensor processing works internally in the clients earlier this year, I have now completed a template for Sensor clients (https://github.com/sqall01/alertR/tree/master/sensorClientTemplate). This template gives every developer an easy start in implementing a native sensor client for AlertR without having to start from an already finished Sensor client and starting to rewrite it for fitting the needs.

Using a network calendar (e.g., Google Calendar) to schedule actions in your automation system

Using a calendar (e.g., Google Calendar) to schedule AlertR actions
One or two weeks ago I had the idea to use a calendar to schedule actions that are then executed by AlertR. More specifically, in my case, I wanted the schedule to change the temperature of my thermostats as well as switching some appliances on and off depending on the time and day. Fortunately, AlertR already had everything it needed to do this. So, here is now a tutorial on how you can do this.

Instrumenting sensor event processing in your home alarm/automation system
No it does not use MQTT. It uses a custom json based protocol. The exact layout is documented here: https://github.com/sqall01/alertR/wiki/Protocol

Show HN: I built a self-hosted status page and monitoring tool for my projects
Hey mate, I'm using https://healthchecks.io/ for heartbeat monitoring my crons. It's been working flawlessly for quite some time now. The UI is super clean and easy to navigate. It's also free up to 20 monitored jobs. Note - I'm not in any way related to that project.

Webhooks suck, but here are alternatives
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.

What do you use for external monitoring?
i use healthchecks.io and have been very happy

Prioritize IPv4 over IPv6 in dual stack
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.

Managing re-occurring tasks - Daily/weekly/monthly
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.
