Uptime Kuma SMS notifications – integration manual

Here we describe how to send Uptime Kuma SMS notifications and alerts using SMSEagle Hardware SMS Gateway. Setup is easy and should take about 5min to complete.

SMSEagle is an offline hardware SMS gateway. Therefore no external connection to 3rd party system is required. All notifications are generated on-premise and sent directly to a cellular network. This solution can be used in secure installations without Internet access.
