Hey everyone, I'm trying to keep my PiHole DNS Blocker active. I have an iOS shortcut that controls it, and some family members also have a copy. They've been told how to use it, but I'm worried it might be off. I need a way to confirm if the disable command has been executed so I can reactivate it. I've sent emails and used SMTPS, but haven't gotten a response. My Windows PC isn't always on, so I need to know when it comes back online—either through a mobile check or an email notification. The iOS shortcut can run scripts, so I could execute the "pihole disable" command inside a script with a notification. Thanks.

I discovered a workaround: https://thepihut.com/blogs/raspberry-pi-...spberry-pi I removed the GPIO and motion sensor components and swapped the PushBullet with an email sender.
