Let's do another round of this. What's going on on your servers, any cool things? How'd the recent CVE flood tangent you and did it change how you see/do stuff?

I set up crowdsec on all my internet-facing services. Couldn’t seem to get the online dashboard connected but I could at least confirm that it can block requests.

I’m also struggling with a new Home Assistant automation to send a live notification to my phone when my washer and dryer are running. The notification action works when I run it manually, and the automation as a whole gets triggered when the machine is on, and Home Assistant says it activates the notification, but I get nothing on my phone during a real test. Gonna keep fiddling.

    Crowdsec is on my to-do list as well. Should be easy to set up on OpnSense, just never pulled the trigger.

    I have HA notifications set up for the same thing, but sometimes they simply won't work. Have you set up all the energy settings? There's a way to create a manual notification from HA, does that work?

    The manual notification works, yep. And it’s using a vibration sensor, which looks to be working. I can see the Automation getting triggered, and the trace says it’s executing the notification step. The notif just never seems to arrive.

    Edit: I tested again and it worked. Who knows what it could have been.

    If it's important to know the time the notification was sent, put a time stamp in the message. Your phone will time stamp the notification on receipt, which is sometimes much later than it was sent (if an app was asleep, for example.)
