I would like to have an add-on for changedetection.io (Github link).
I checked the tutorial on how to make it, but it is just a bit above my current ability.
The docker container can be found here: https://hub.docker.com/r/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io
Somebody out there that would like to build this?
You should be able to use the RSS url and a standard RSS integration (see feedreader in the HA core docs). The RSS url is found by clicking the orange RSS button on your changedetection.io instance:
I am not 100% sure, but I think the RSS feed can get the notifications from “a change” from Changedetection into HA. I want to self host url change detection service as a whole.
The feedreader RSS integration will work fine, but will have a polling interval and therefore a delay.
ChangeDetection uses Apprise notifications, so another option is to configure a notification of type hassio://, see the documentation here (https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/Notify_homeassistant).
It creates a “persistent notification” and therefore an event, which HA can listen for, clear, and then take any action you want via an automation.
Here’s the result of a test notification I sent:
The Apprise engine can also generate IFTTT notification events (see https://github.com/caronc/apprise/wiki/Notify_ifttt). I don’t have an IFTTT webhook server installed in my HA to demonstrate, but it would be trivial to do so.
Bumping this request as I could use this myself. To be clear: the request is for an add-on that would incorporate the self-hosted changedetection.io service, not just notifications from the paid subscription service.
The only downside is a missing panel to access ChangeDetection’s interface - but I got it solved by adding a web page panel via Settings > Dashboards. Not sure if that other add-on would have that done for you.
