**Feature description** The idea is to receive a notification (email, Telegram, other) when our local Gladys instance (installed on a Raspberry) is unreachable (for a defined period of time?). This can be useful when going on vacation to detect a network outage or a power outage. ---

Great idea @cicoub13! 🙂 Thanks for the feedback. ---

For my part, I would have liked to be notified when Gladys restarts. It’s simple, but it’s the only way to know if there’s a power outage, for example. I guess you would need a trigger or an MQTT device? ---

Cela pourrait aussi indiquer qu’il y a eu une coupure de courant. Avoir le temps total d’indisponibilité dans ce cas peut aussi être un vrai plus. ---

On that point, I use on my side a (free) service called [https://healthchecks.io/](https://healthchecks.io/), and honestly it does the job so well I don’t even know if we need a native feature 😂 I created a healthcheck on their site: ![Screenshot 2024-10-28 at 17.30.31](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/f/0/f0760923cc6ae97cdecaba2686632762dcf3901c.jpeg) I got the URL. Then I have a scene in Gladys that pings the healthcheck every 5 minutes: ![plus.gladysassistant.com_dashboard_scene_ping-healthcheck](https://gladys-assistant-community.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/4/c/4c4d1c07c8a1a05a3aeccd9f6bdd38df36891efb.png) If one day Gladys or the internet is down at my place, I see it right away — I receive an email; it’s possible to have notifications on lots of services (WhatsApp, Telegram, ntfy, etc…) I occasionally see disconnections when my internet router updates (around 2-3 AM in general) Very handy! ---

For those who voted, would it be okay if I converted this post into a tutorial on the forum? 🙂 Does this adequately meet your needs? ---

Yes. Successfully set up on my Gladys ---

I think a health check will do the trick 🙂 ---

Tutorial created: > [@Être prévenu quand son instance Gladys est indisponible](https://community.gladysassistant.com/t/etre-prevenu-quand-son-instance-gladys-est-indisponible/9206): > > Salut à tous ! Je vous propose ce tutoriel pour être alerté quand votre Gladys n’est plus en ligne, par exemple en cas de problème hardware ou de crash. J’utilise de mon côté un service (gratuit) qui s’appelle [https://healthchecks.io/](https://healthchecks.io/) et qui permet de créer un « Dead man switch Â». Concrètement, Gladys va contacter à interval régulier ce site, et si Gladys ne se manifeste pas, le site saura que Gladys n’est plus disponible et vous préviendra. J’ai créé un healthcheck sur leur site :
