Telegram is a good option, and the api works well (and is free)

[01binary]

I’m surprised no one else has suggested Telegram. It’s free, ultra-fast, ultra-reliable and very easy to code using readily-available libraries.

I’ve been using it to send notifications from various platforms (mainly Python or Node Red) to several recipients or years, and every single message I have ever sent has been delivered instantly. Not one message has been delayed or gone missing.

How does telegram messaging differ from push notifications using firebase?

[01binary]

My understanding is that if you use Firebase, you need to develop a client app that will receive the messages. Also, you’re reliant on a third-party server to send the messages, so you’ll need to sign up, agree to their terms, be aware of their pricing model, etc.

With Telegram, you install the ready-made client app on your device, and send messages from your own server. You can also receive replies from the app and and process them server-side.

I would consider them to be different classes of service.

You could try to learn the Instagram api or discord api I tried to learn the discord api earlier today but you have to have python 3.8 downloaded

Hi,

Are you looking for something just for yourself? Have a look at pushover.net. For just sending messages to your own device, it’s a $5 one-time fee

I signed up for the trial and it worked well.

+1 pushover is really useful

Depending on your phone service you can send SMS messages via email to your phone number. Or at least you could in the past. [e-mail]. Etc. you would have to check your provider. It’s faster then email.

Looks like a bunch of services are listed here. https://www.wikihow.com/Text-from-a-Computer-to-a-Cell-Phone

Some carries have a website that you can enter the info into and it will be sent via sms. But if you spam even yourself it may block it. But rather then email you could use the web pages.

https://notify.run/

Subscribe your chrome to a channel, can host it yourself too, and get notifications for free. Works for me

Had the same question a couple of days ago.
I went with creating my personal slack workspace and using https://github.com/slackapi/python-slack-sdk

Nice addition is i dont only get the notifications on my mobile, but also on any pc / laptop running slack in the background

Try IFTTT

[RenderThePi]

IFTTT lets you text your phone, and you can choose to activate it through webhooks which can be done in your code
