NAS, IoT, and Home Assistant Notifications
Home automation and device monitoring often need more than a one-time alert. PushGo lets automations send notifications, track events, and maintain the current state of devices or services.
Good Fits
Section titled “Good Fits”- Send NAS disk, backup, and service alerts to mobile and desktop clients.
- Report Home Assistant automations through a webhook-style HTTP request.
- Represent a device, sensor, backup job, or media service as a Thing.
- Use private Gateway deployment when home data should stay under your control.
How PushGo models this workflow
Section titled “How PushGo models this workflow”| Need | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Doorbell snapshot or disk warning | Message | The content is a single alert. |
| Backup or media scan progress | Event | Progress can update until completion. |
| Sensor or device state | Thing | The latest state matters more than every past update. |
Minimal example
Section titled “Minimal example”A NAS script can call /message for disk warnings, while a backup job can create an Event and update it until it succeeds or fails.
curl -X POST https://gateway.pushgo.dev/message \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "channel_id": "YOUR_CHANNEL_ID", "password": "YOUR_CHANNEL_PASSWORD", "title": "Hello from PushGo", "body": "The automation path is working." }'Questions this page answers
Section titled “Questions this page answers”- Can PushGo receive Home Assistant webhook notifications? Yes. Home Assistant automations can call PushGo HTTP APIs through webhook or REST actions.
- How do I avoid repeated stale device notifications? Use Thing for device or service state so clients can show the current object state.
- Can this run on a private network? Yes. Self-host the Gateway when the data path or transport policy should remain private.
Security and operations
Section titled “Security and operations”- Prefer scoped credentials and separate Channels for high-risk automation.
- Use MCP OAuth for AI assistants so models do not directly hold Channel passwords.
- Use self-hosting when the data path, transport policy, or compliance boundary must stay under your control.
- Use E2EE for sensitive fields that should be decrypted only by clients.
