Alternative alert notifications

Has anyone been successful in setting up alternative alert notifications (eg. WhatsApp messages instead of emails etc)?

This is something I am looking into.

Currently, I am using Zapier to generate an SMS from an Email notification but it is very slow, sometimes the alerts arrive 15 minutes after the failure.

I am using a Raspberry Pi with Venus OS, so I am just now starting to look at whether I can catch the alerts on the Pi itself and generate the notifications locally.

I left a review of the app asking the developers to add an audible notification. Especially sin e the app offers no added features from the non Bluetooth model of the battery protect device. The price difference is substantial for nothing extra at all.

It would be really convenient if you could webhooks for alarms in vrm. @mvader (Victron Energy) maybe this is something that could be added to the feature wishlist?

Alarm Push via the VRMapp would do it for me!

Hi,

I prefer to receive my Cerbo GX alarms, especially the bilge as SMS text or on Whatsapp. Is this possible or a possible future development? I only see the notification by email option. I have currently set up an automated task (opdrachten) in iOS but this does not work without issues.

Anything moving on this front?
Reply is much appreciated

On the latest Webinar which is also now on the Victron Youtube channel, @mvader (Victron Energy) mentioned that they are looking in to this, that they are still considering the best way to do it, SMS, Whatsapp, Telegram etc.
