This script collects data for every hotspot in a given wallet, comparing the Helium Blockchain Height to the most recent activity block of each hotspot over time. This data is plotted and sent to the user via the Pushover API on a Report and Alert basis.

To anyone hoping to use this script to monitor your own hotspots please clone or fork this repo! If you see mistakes or have suggestions please submit pull requests!

• This script will be slow if you have dozens of hotspots, multithreading helps, but the Helium API is only so fast.
• This whole system is designed to run with just a single wallet address at a time, passing a different WALLET_ADDR from run to run will throw all the data into one giant bucket.

You can find a more detailed walk through on the implementation on my blog but here are the basics

This code was written with Python3.9, though I suspect it will work well with Python3.6+ (it uses f-strings quite a bit)

Create a virtual environment and install the requirements using

pip install -r requirements.txt

I do this in /postactivate and /predeactivate

Edit the /postactvate file:

#!/bin/zsh
# This hook is sourced after this virtualenv is activated.

export WALLET_ADDR="a-valid-wallet-address"

Edit the /predeactivate file:

#!/bin/zsh
# This hook is sourced before this virtualenv is deactivated.

unset WALLET_ADDR

Two Pushover Apps are recommended, at least one is necessary.

Add these to teh /postactivate and /predeactivate files
