Best notification service

Post by drwurn »

Hi,
What is the best notification service to use when using android and iphone?
Atm I'm using gcm but messages usually takes some time, from seconds to minutes, even when priority is emergency.

thanks

Pushbullet has a limit on the number of push messages

Telegram is my favorite too.

I use Pushbullet as it works easy, but i would rather use Telegram instead.
Untill now i can't get it to work at all, created a bot, tried some but unfortunately did not succeed.

Telegram in use for years now.
Easy as I only need one app for notifications and chats.
Receive notifications from domoticz, pictures from camera's, messages from other (web) services.
Love it.

Pushover, for few dollars
It has been a while since testing others, but what I like most is that you can give different notification types, from strong (alarm, even when phone on not disturb) to silent.
Cons: only text, no images

Telegram Voice Calls are awesome. It will ring your phone and speak the notification. I use it for critical alerts (like alarm)

Hi,
I found ntfy.sh a very simple and efficient notifications app for Android. https://ntfy.sh
A tutorial in French is available here https://blogmotion.fr/diy/ntfy-notifica ... ique-20708

I'm using Google Cloud Messaging.
To activate it on your smartphone install the Domoticz app.
I'm not shure but I think the app is no longer maintained.
Anyway, it works.

BTW
NTFY looks very OK because it's open source.
Bugs bug me.
