I set up an ntfy notification to warn me if the air in my bedroom is bad between 6 pm and 9 pm. It lets me turn on the air purifier in advance. Lately, I wasn’t receiving alerts, so I checked my systems, and the notifier and Home Assistant were fine.

In Digdag, workflows are typically defined in YAML files with a “.dig” extension. Developers usually write these workflows, which consist of tasks to be executed. However, tasks can also be added dynamically using the Digdag Python API or by downloading a “.dig” file from a remote HTTP server and incorporating it as a subtask.

You can add webhooks to make it reactive.
