Remotely Monitor Your Raspberry Pi to See What’s Running and Be Notified If Something Goes Wrong
If you are using a Raspberry Pi that is doing something in the background, like operating as a surveillance camera system or weather station , then it’s good to know exactly what it does, no matter where you are. The original state demonstrates how to create a dashboard that will keep you informed and notify you if something goes wrong.
This project allows you to see what your Raspberry Pi is doing from anywhere, which is convenient in itself, but more importantly, you can receive email or SMS notifications if something goes wrong. That way, if the security system shuts down due to a drop in power or something else, you know right away. It’s a pretty simple project to set up, and the initial state service is free unless you’re using a ton of data. Head over to GitHub to get everything you need.
