I am working on implementing notification in reef-pi. The idea is to use it for anything wrong, including system error or equipment failures etc.
I hope to get basic email notification done before 1.0, and wondering what are the most important things we would like to get alert for?
My current list is:
- Temperature outside a range
- Equipment failures (not every single of them, but a consolidated list of failures in a period, if present)
- ATO pump running too long
Anything else ?
If I may make a suggestion. I would suggest some of these "important" alerts you also look at text/sms/mms alerts. Email can take some time to come in. I have my system send me an email and a push notification (via pushbullet - https://www.pushbullet.com/) I normally get the push notification sooner than I do emails.
Here an old pic of my alerts and how it shows on my lock screen of my phone (yea both came in at the same time but that isn't always the case)
