Something that only works on the LAN is acceptable. Run some app in the phone that receives a ping from the computer would suffice.
You have to pay one way or another. Either with your own time or by purchasing an app. Check out mqtt. I have mosquitto running on my router and home assistant for many sensors at home. Maybe not the easiest of things but once you get it going it can do quite a few things. I also have the "owntracks" app on my phone and it sends gps coordinates to my mosquitto server. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT https://medium.com/swlh/android-and-mqtt-a-simple-guide-cb0cbba1931c kdeconnect can also do quite a few things. I often use it to send clipboard between laptop and phone. I believe it can receive notifications from the desktop. https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Ping From cli I get a ping on my phone if I do this: qdbus org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon /modules/kdeconnect/devices/<yourdevicenumber>/ping org.kde.kdeconnect.device.ping.sendPing run this to discover what you can do: qdbus qdbus org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon qdbus org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon /modules/kdeconnect/devices/<yourdevicenumber>/ping And ultimately the method to use qdbus org.kde.kdeconnect.daemon /modules/kdeconnect/devices/<yourdevicenumber>/ping org.kde.kdeconnect.device.ping.sendPing -- /bengan
