Notifications Configuration

MeshManager uses Apprise for notifications, supporting 90+ notification services.

Overview

Notifications can be sent for:

• Scheduled Solar Reports - Daily battery risk analysis

Setting Up Notifications

1. Navigate to Settings > Solar Schedule
2. Enable Scheduled Notifications
3. Add notification times (HH:MM format, 24-hour)
4. Enter one or more Apprise URLs
5. Click Save

Apprise URL Format

Each notification service has its own URL format. Here are common examples:

Discord

discord://webhook_id/webhook_token

To get your webhook URL:

1. Server Settings > Integrations > Webhooks
2. Create or copy webhook URL
3. Extract the ID and token from the URL

Slack

slack://token_a/token_b/token_c

Use an Incoming Webhook.

Telegram

tgram://bot_token/chat_id

1. Create a bot via @BotFather
2. Get your chat ID via @userinfobot

Pushover

pover://user_key@api_token

Get credentials from pushover.net.

Email (SMTP)

ntfy

ntfy://topic

Or with a self-hosted server:

ntfy://user:password@hostname/topic

Matrix

Multiple Destinations

Add multiple Apprise URLs to send to multiple services simultaneously. Each URL should be on a separate line or comma-separated.

Example:

discord://webhook_id/webhook_token
tgram://bot_token/chat_id
pover://user_key@api_token

Testing Notifications

Before relying on scheduled notifications:

1. Configure your Apprise URL(s)
2. Click Send Test
