Healthchecks VS b-parasite

Hey mate, I'm using https://healthchecks.io/ for heartbeat monitoring my crons. It's been working flawlessly for quite some time now. The UI is super clean and easy to navigate. It's also free up to 20 monitored jobs. Note - I'm not in any way related to that project.

In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent.

Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system - maybe there are cases where you send false-positives and needlessly trigger external system alerts. The customer Wasm could do more introspection on the healthcheck event and make a more informed decision about how to proceed.

i use healthchecks.io and have been very happy

Is there anything different from https://healthchecks.io/ --- a service I've been using for free for a couple years now?

Because of this block on the router, and the fact that IPv6 connections are by default preferred over IPv4, many things on the system now cannot access the internet. the only things that can access the internet are for accessing servers that ONLY support IPv4 like my mail.smpt2go or my uptime monitoring scripts for healthchecks.io.

i use https://healthchecks.io/ and highly recommend it.

We use a heartbeat system. Basically the monitoring continuously sends an alert to a healtcheck system. If that heartbeat fails, PagerDuty sends an alert to the oncall.

i like healthchecks.io

I'd like to be able to design my own PCB (that would include a custom Capactitive Soil Moisture Sensor) with all the other hardware built in, somewhat like the b-parasite. But that's pretty far down the line.

Im working on a soil moisture sensor that I plan to fully bury into potting/etc soil, and the sensor itself wont be moved/abraded/etc like a typical piece of outdoor furniture but the ground/water environment is obviously not conducive to finish longevity.

Have you seen b-parasite? There is a sample that uses zigbee, and somewhere in the issues someone had used an NRF528x chip that had an attachable antennae, which may help your BLE connection issues.

Aha read the read me … https://github.com/rbaron/b-parasite/blob/zigbee-sample/code/nrf-connect/samples/zigbee/README.md

Im working on modifying a project for a capacitive soil moisture sensor, and im wondering how to perhaps increase the capacitive effect/range of capacitive values/sensitivity. What factors would be used to increase the capacitive effect? more loops? thicker loop? lots of parallel traces back and forth in lieu of the loop?
