1. Introduction

You can configure push notifications for your ASUSTOR NAS using either Pushbullet or Pushover, which provide push notification services over networks. These services are available on multiple devices, across different platforms and major Web browsers. When designated system events occur, notifications can be instantly pushed to your phone, mobile device or PC.

Please make sure you have registered for the Pushbullet service at the official website (www.pushbullet.com) before you begin.

Note: Pushbullet free accounts (without a Pro subscription) are limited to 500 pushes per month. Going over will result in an error when sending a Push.

STEP 1

  • Type: Select "Pushbullet" from the drop-down menu.
