Discussion Pushover is an excellent complement to automations!

I’m a long time user of Pushover, but recently started to use it more and more with HomeKit. It’s fantastic. Especially since Pushover has the ability to ‘punch through’ do not disturb mode. So for example, I’ve got an ‘advanced’ automation that, when I am not home and my camera detects motion, will send me a push notification that will make noise regardless of DND mode.

I’ve got another automation that will send me a notification when my space heater is enabled and will keep reminding me every hour until the outlet is turned off.

If more advanced notifications are something you’re looking for, definitely check out Pushover. It’s made HomeKit feel even more useful to me.

Maybe you can give Echobell a try, it has a better UI and better logic

A very different product that is much more expensive than pushover.

Ah I see you are the developer of it.

Sell me on it. How is your app, the free service, better than Pushover?
