In this video, I show how to install and configure the Uptime Kuma add-on, how to configure it to monitor a Plex server, how to add an uptime card to the Home Assistant dashboard, and how to send push notifications to the companion app when Plex goes down.

This is awesome. Just discovered this and setup was so easy following your videos. thank you for the great videos.

[@fasthowto]

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you found the video useful, and thanks for watching!

[@ivayodeperegrio]

Awesome! hey I already had Uptime Kuma for over a year, but with your guide now I can squeeze more out of it!

[@fasthowto]

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

[@rubenescandell8482]

Another amazing video about HA! you're doing an incredible job for the community so thx a lot

[@fasthowto]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Comments like this bring a smile to my face and help motivate me to make more. Thanks for watching!!

[@mrbenny28]

Thanks for the great video. Subscribed!

[@fasthowto]

Thank you!!!

[@carlhussain5170]

Great Video, I got it installed in HA as an Add on but after that I just hooked it up to to Pushover as I don't need to see it in HA, so that might be easier to setup to one of their Many options to notify. but as its HA specific your video works perfectly

[@fasthowto]

Pushover.. That's a new one to me. What is that, and what do you use it for?

[@fasthowto]

I just went and looked it up. Looks easy enough to use, but I'm not a fan of anything cloud unless *absolutely* necessary. Too bad, I definitely would use it if it were somehow a local integration. Oh well. Glad to hear everything works for you with Uptime Kuma though, and thank you for watching! :)

[@lifewithTomnJerry]

I like your shirt!

[@fasthowto]

Thank you!

[@pepetono6374]

First of all, thank you for your videos.
it gives me an error "Custom element doesn't exist: uptime-card."
You should make a video with your style, fast and clera about buttons in home assistant dashboard sending mqtt commands to devices!

[@fasthowto]

You need to watch the video about custom uptime card. There's a link in the description. ;)
Thank you for the idea. I'll have to put some thought into it. Currently I don't send any mqtt messages from HA, I only listen for them from my video camera system. I don't have a lot of mqtt stuff just yet..
Thanks for watching!!
