Cloud watchdog for HA #120

Closed pa-wills closed 2 years ago

pa-wills commented 3 years ago

I think i need something that will alert me if HA falls off the air. Say as the result of a power outage, or because the internet open-circuits.

Concept:

  1. a Lambda that is invoked from a webhook, itself invoked every 5 mins or so by HA (timed automation).
  2. a server-side process that sends a notification to me if the instance misses say 4 consecutive notifications.

This should be relatively easy to build, surely. Doubtless there are other instances of this, but I think I will just build it myself in order to get used to serverless. I have never done anything on that set of components, and this seems like a good little starter project.

One thing - is it redundant given nabucasa? Might be worth checking.
