WTH Alerts from Nabu casa

Month of "What the heck?!"

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.
