camerahacks/rpilocator-rss-feed: rpilocator RSS Feed Notifications
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/04
On my list to experiment with is [Wayback/Archive] camerahacks/rpilocator-rss-feed:
This is the official rpilocator.com and hwlocator.com RSS feed reader and push notification scripts and Node-RED flows. The RSS feed is checked every minute and the script/flow sends a push notification when a product comes in stock.
Send ntfy, Pushbullet, Pushover or Gotify notifications to your device.
I only knew one of the above services, so here I have listed links to all of them:
- [Wayback/Archive] ntfy.sh | Send push notifications to your phone via PUT/POST with source code at
[Wayback/Archive] binwiederhier/ntfy: Send push notifications to your phone or desktop using PUT/POST
- [Wayback/Archive] Pushbullet – Your devices working better together (which I knew and is free for some of its use)
- [Wayback/Archive] Pushover: Simple Notifications for Android, iPhone, iPad, and Desktop (30 day trial, USD 5 per platform: iOS/Android/Desktop for 10k messages/month)
- [Wayback/Archive] Gotify · a simple server for sending and receiving messages with source code at
[Wayback/Archive] Gotify: A self-hosted push notification service.

- [Wayback/Archive] rpilocator on Twitter: “@kondorYEG @Ladewig @jpluimers It does, but the RSS feed needs to be published through the WebSub protocol”.
- [Wayback/Archive] Doug Kay on Twitter: “@rpilocator @Ladewig @jpluimers Saw that but issue is it’s not plug and play. I just want an app to download. Subscribe to the feed and get notifications the second they arrive. I’m surprised there isn’t an RSS client for that.”
