WTH Alerts from Nabu casa

Why is no alerts when my HA goes of line or the resources are to low, like ram and Disk space, the things a Cloud monitor and access should have. Just an Observation :slight_smile:

Look like duplicate of this

This HA offline is good

The others like (disk space) could be done with automation

I like your suggestion but I recommend local devices monitoring Home Assistant. That’s the best way to know whether it’s just an internet outage or a problem with your HA server. That isn’t to sat Nabu Casa couldn’t have a role.

Like an uptime robot, nabu casa could check if HA si up… But I think too, for other alert it’s HA local role

I have alerts set up on low memory and low disk as follows (using Alert2):

alert2:
  alerts:
    - domain: sys
      name: "disk space low"
      condition:  "{{ states('sensor.disk_use_percent_config')|float > 90 }}"
      reminder_frequency_mins: 1440
      message: "% free is {{states('sensor.disk_use_percent_config')}}"
    - domain: sys
      name: "memory low"
      condition:  "{{ states('sensor.memory_free')|float < 1000 }}"
      reminder_frequency_mins: 1440
      message: "% free is {{states('sensor.memory_free')}} MB"

And yeah, alerting if offline is probably most easily done from something externally watching to see if HA is alive & happy.
