notifierr

notifierr is an SMS notification service used in conjunction with Radarr/Sonarr to send SMS notifications when movies and TV shows are available to watch.

Installation

The easiest way to install notifierr is with pip

python3 -m pip install notifierr

You can also clone the repository directly and run setup.py manually

git clone https://github.com/adamsbytes/notifierr.git
cd notifierr
python3 setup.py install

Usage

Configuring the Server

You must edit notifierr/config.py with your own values before starting the API server. You'll also need to set some environment variables, depending on which SMS provider you're using.

Twilio SMS provider

The following environment variables are required and can be found in your Twilio console:

TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID: Twilio account SID

TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN: Twilio auth token

TWILIO_FROM_NUMBER: the Twilio phone number you want to send messages from

Starting the Server

NOTE: pip installs may need to add ~/.local/bin to their PATH

For pip installs:

notifierr --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8181

To manually start the server:

$appdir/cli.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8181

Available API endpoints

GET /version: responds with the running version of notifierr

POST /message/movie/{uid}: sends a detailed notification message for new movies (Radarr) to the phone numbers associated with uid

POST /message/tv/{uid}: sends a detailed notification message for new TV episodes (Sonarr) to the phone numbers associated with uid

Configuring Radarr/Sonarr

A high level overview

The app uses the UID portion of http://ip:8181/message/tv/UID to select which phone numbers to use for the message. These are configured in the app's config.py file.

To have granular control over which numbers are messaged about which downloads, use Tags in Radarr/Sonarr!

For example, to let Dave know when his favorite show is ready, put his number in the config.py with any UID you'd like. Tag Dave's show with a unique tag, then create a notification that triggers with that same tag and use a URL containing Dave's UID at the end.

A step by step walkthrough

Once notifierr is running, in Radarr/Sonarr, visit Settings > Connect and create a new Connection.

For the connection type, select Webhook

For the notification triggers, choose On Download or On Import (depending on the option available)

For the URL, enter http://notifierr-ip-address:8181/message/tv/$uid, replacing $uid with the UID you entered in config.py to correspond with the numbers who should receive the message

For the method, select POST

Press Test to validate the connection, then press Save.
