Well, as the title says, I’ve had a few notifications that alerted over night and I’m wanting to sleep instead

These are ntfy alerts, but driven by Uptime Kuma… and I can’t find a programmatic / config option that says “don’t notify between 11pm and 7am” (but willing to admit I’ve just not found it… yet…)

I need my (Android, ofc) phone to be on in case of family calls / messages, so I can’t use “Do Not Disturb”, and remembering to manually mute the ntfy app each night just doesn’t make sense to me - computers are quite capable of automating my requirements for me.

So… any pointers? I’m sure you’re not all getting alerts at 2am because your ISP dropped a few packets…

    Do not Disturb on my phone has the option to turn off everything except alarms and/or calls from a variety of sources. It can be set to be active at certain times of the day.

      True, but if you are not from America, many many people use VOIP calling on apps like WhatsApp to call.

      DnD priority overrides don’t work for that.

        That’s not right. As long as they are excluded from DnD with their phone number, Android will let them through. It even says so in the settings (feddit.de still has image upload issues but the info states that “Even if messaging and calling apps can’t reach you, people that you choose here can still reach you through those apps”)

          Maybe that is a new android thing or a Samsung thing? That phrase doesn’t show up in my settings.

          2 years ago, my mother and I tested it extensively when I moved trying all of the “allowing app” settings combined with starred people and it never worked for whatsapp, only stock dialer and texts.

            I’m running Stock Android 13 Fairphone 5. So if it’s not available for you it’s most likely taken away by your vendor. I remember my Sony XZ2 with Android 10 already having that feature 🤔

      As best I can tell, on Android, while there is scheduling, there isn’t a way to trivially say “enter do-not-disturb mode for the next N minutes/hours on a one-off basis”, which is normally what I want. I don’t want to set up a schedule; I just want to silence the thing without having to worry about forgetting to re-enable the mode. It seems like an odd omission.
