UptimeRobot App Pushover Uptime Kuma
  1. Web, SSL, ports & Cron-jobs monitoring
    I use UptimeRobot for alerting me when my Internet service is down. UptimeRobot also is free for limited use. The primary benefit of this service is being external to my LAN. UptimeRobot is configured to send an email to a unique email address at Pushover, and I receive an alert on my mobile phone when UptimeRobot cannot ping my router. I've had two Internet service outages since signing up for this service. One when fiber into the neighborhood was cut during construction, and another just a couple of days ago when there was an extended power outage from a storm that outlasted my UPSs. It works well for this purpose.

  2. Real-time notifications on your Android, iPhone, iPad, and Desktop
    Pricing:
    First, let's talk about how I am alerted to trouble. I use the Pushover service, which is free for up to 10,000 notifications per month, for receiving notifications from a number of services. The mobile app is a one-time $5 USD purchase, but I believe it can be used for 30 days for free under a trial basis. Pushover allows me to receive notifications inside a dedicated app without having to sort through email or SMS messages. It also is extremely flexible and can be used by any number of methods;.

  3. A fancy self-hosted monitoring tool.
    I use several different approaches for monitoring devices, systems, and network. I can provide more details if you are interested. One approach you may consider is Uptime Kuma. It is modeled after UptimeRobot, but intended to be self-hosted. I run it in a Docker container. It monitors uptime for HTTP(s) / TCP / HTTP(s) Keyword / Ping / DNS Record / Push / Steam Game Server / Docker Containers and also supports Pushover.
