The Project
https://github.com/danielrosehill/Awesome-Red-Alerts
Awesome Red Alerts is a curated list of open-source and community projects that expand the alerting surface of Israel's Home Front Command (Pikud HaOref) Red Alerts. There is no official public API for these alerts, so a vibrant ecosystem of unofficial wrappers, dashboards, bots, and hardware projects has emerged. This repository catalogues all of them in one place. An important caveat: never rely on community projects as your primary alerting mechanism. The official alerts from Pikud HaOref are the only reliable source.
Official Resources and Third-Party Services
Home Front Command Website -- Official website with alert guidelines, shelter information, and safety instructions
Pikud HaOref Telegram -- Official Telegram channel broadcasting all alerts in real time
Tzofar (Tzeva Adom) -- Popular third-party alert service with apps on Android, iOS, Chrome extension, and WhatsApp channel
Oref Map -- Live geographic alert map with real-time visualization
RocketAlert.live -- Live rocket alert tracker with map and history
Geo-Dashboards and API Wrappers
Several projects provide interactive map-based dashboards for visualizing alert data geographically:
Oref Map (maorcc) -- Real-time interactive alert map with shelter locations
Red Alert Geodash -- Geographic dashboard with 1,450 polygon overlays and InfluxDB time-series storage
Pikud HaOref Map -- Web-based alert map by avisratmp-stack
On the API side, since there is no official public API, all wrappers are unofficial and may break when the internal format changes:
Pikud HaOref API GraphQL -- GraphQL wrapper providing typed queries over alert data
Pikud HaOref API (Node.js) -- Node.js wrapper with real-time polling and city mapping
Oref Alert Proxy -- Local relay proxy for Pikud HaOref alert data, serves as the data backbone for the Red Alert Monitoring Stack
Pikud HaOref API Go -- Go SDK for querying alert data
Home Automation Integrations
A significant portion of the ecosystem focuses on bringing alerts into smart home platforms:
Oref Alert (Home Assistant HACS) -- The most widely used HA integration, providing alert sensors and automations
Homebridge Pikud HaOref -- Homebridge plugin exposing alerts as HomeKit accessories
Oref Lights (Philips Hue) -- Flashes Hue lights red on incoming alerts
Roborock Missile Alert -- Sends Roborock vacuum to dock on missile alert (to avoid obstruction)
Notification Channels and Bots
The list covers notification projects across virtually every platform:
Pushover -- Volumetric threshold-based push notifications
Telegram -- Multi-city monitoring and AI-powered sitrep bots
Slack and Discord -- Channel-based alert forwarding for teams
macOS and Windows -- Native desktop notification center alerts
MQTT -- Bridging alerts to MQTT brokers for custom integrations
Raspberry Pi -- LED strip and sound-based physical notifiers
ESP32 -- Microcontroller-based alert notifier with LED and buzzer
MagicMirror -- Smart mirror modules displaying active red alerts
VoIP -- Automated phone call triggering on incoming alerts
AI Integrations and Analysis
The list also includes newer AI-focused integrations:
CC Red Alerts Statusline -- Claude Code statusline showing active red alerts
Pikud HaOref Alerts MCP -- MCP server providing live alert data to Claude
Miklat MCP -- MCP server providing shelter (miklat) location data to AI agents
HaOref Alert Analysis -- Statistical analysis and visualization of historical alert data
