Pi.Alert is a self-hosted network monitoring application that scans Wi-Fi and LAN for connected devices and alerts on unknown or missing devices. It also monitors web services via HTTP status, response time, and SSL certificate checks, with a PHP web interface and multiple notification channels.

Use cases

  • alert me when an unknown device joins my wifi
  • monitor my home network for new devices
  • get notified when a device goes offline
  • check if my web services are up and measure response time
  • monitor ssl certificate changes on my websites
  • detect rogue dhcp servers on my lan
  • track devices across routers and switches
  • integrate network presence into home assistant

When to choose

  • you want self-hosted device presence monitoring for a home or small office LAN
  • you use Pi-hole, UniFi, FRITZ!Box, OpenWrt, pfSense, or similar and want to import their host data
  • you need alerts for unknown devices, disconnected always-on devices, or service/SSL changes
  • you want a web UI with device history, notes, and an API

When to avoid

  • you need enterprise-grade network monitoring like SNMP polling or flow analysis
  • you want a lightweight headless daemon without a web interface
  • your environment is not Linux-based or cannot run cron jobs and a PHP web server
