Like A Pro Service Monitoring with Uptime Kuma for Home Assistant

Recently Uptime Kuma has been added to growing list of Home Assistant AddOn's - thanks to @Frenck . And while you have other options to monitor services both internally in Home Assistant or by using integrations such as Uptime Robot, today we will look at this one and how to add it to Home Assistant.

Until Uptime Kuma integration is merged in Home Assistant, you can use HACS component for integration:

00:00 - Intro
00:28 - Uptime Kuma
01:52 - Installing and configuring AddOn
03:00 - Configuring Uptime Kuma
04:55 - Monitoring Home Assistant
05:58 - HACS integration for Uptime Kuma
08:34 - Simple automation for alerts
10:48 - Wrapping video up

Don't forget to give me a thumb up if you liked this video, subscribe if you still haven't and I'll see you next time!

Have fun!

Thank you very much. I've been battling on with Monit and was getting sick of editing config files and restarting the service. This is a great replacement! :)

There is a notification (email/telegram/etc.) integration in Kuma. It is a much better and faster way to get notification about status changes.

[Tntdruid]

Very cool, been looking for something like this 👍

This method doesn't work unless you have HA OS installed. Doesn't work this simply via the Docker install. No one seems to mention that, but it's a huge miss in these setups. If you're running HA via Docker the Add-Ons option isn't available at all.

Anybody else having trouble to add the repo to hacs? Is doesn't add it in my hacs

[philnichols]

What is the name of the lovelace card used to display some of your uptime statuses? The one with the green vertical bars and the 100% below?

What are the advantages of uptime kuma to ping addon?

[supperka]

Hello, How can make enteties look like yours ? My just looks like node-red UP, not lik your green retangulars.

Do you know how i can get access to this add-on via Nabu-Casa? I guess since this is not an ingress enabled app, i would need to manually forward ports and use my ISP IP instead?

[idanslonimsky]

For some reason I'm not able to add the uptime_kuma repo to custom repositories in HACS - has anoyone encountered that?

[jmadawg]

This looks great! Will help me remove a bunch of stuff I'd been using simplemonitor for ages now. I've setup the integration, but I've noticed that new checks don't seem to be getting picked up by Home assistant for some reason. Not quite sure what's up, continuing to chase down what's wrong.

[bigmansaylon]

And how can I update a newer version off kuma, if I have an active version in home assistant??

[ItamarValdman]

thanks for the video! I like your channel verry much!
could you please tell me how is it better than the ping integration? it seems a very fancy way to do a very simple thing that is achievable by the ping integration....

[wilhelmspeck]

Thanks for you great videos. I Installed Uptime Kuma after I initially saw your video. I now have the problem that I cannot seem to remeber the username/password I used during the installation. I have set up about 15 servers/instances that I control, so I don't want to setup everything again. Do you have any idea how I could reset the credentials for uptime kuma inside homeassistant? TIA

[pavolholes]

Hey, nice video, thanks! Question: how can I get that nice diagrams about the services availability history to the dashboard? Thanks!

[davecl]

the github page has been archived.. any idea how to install the integration manually?
thanks

[ictstelucjam]

Nice video BT, Thanks. Already integrated and working just fine. Now we can do a litle bit more and different as only with Glances. One question, Whats the name of your Lovelace frontend cards that you use in your video? For example the green block diagram for your MQTT?

[richf]

Neither GitHub repositories work with the latest Home assistant update

[clairerovic]

Nice to have a well focused video to watch before work. Do we know when it will move into Core.

[Tarikmoe]

Did anybody figure out how to get the home assistant built in notification service in uptime Kuma?
