I see several that can push notifications from self hosted services like Gotify, Pushbit, Uptime Kuma, etc. But is there anything that can handle SMS portion that PB does so dang well? I tried KDE Connect and it was not a great experience. But I’ll give it another try once my new PC is built, but between my Macbook and my Android phone it was pretty poor. Slow syncing, delays in sending SMS. That sort of thing.
I’m down to selfhost if there’s a project already out there, but my searches left me empty handed other than the aforementioned apps.
My understanding is that you’re not going to find a self hosted solution that makes use of SMS (not counting email to SMS gateways) because sending SMS programmatically requires a SMS gateway those aren’t cheap (think of Twilio). You can find many options for app-based notifications (push notifications usually) and email-based notifications as a workaround.
Fair. And I’m willing to pay, even if it’s open source and it’s via contributing. PB irked me because they put some of the previously free stuff behind a paywall so the value went down in my mind. That said, it worked very well.
As far as I know sending and receiving SMS through KDE connect, I’m using the gnome implementation Gsconnect, should work flawlessly. Not the prettiest experience but it works. GSconnect comes with a message viewer that even let’s you browse old SMS
