Does that still work when your internet is turned off? Some. People are lucky that they always have reliable internet, others do not.

My openhab cloud

Plenty of ways but I believe they all will require a cloud and internet to work.

Requires Alexa cloud link, not Openhab Cloud.

I use ntfy. https://ntfy.sh/

Self host it on a separate machine or even the same machine that openHAB runs on.

On Android it uses WebSocket communication for real time notifications.

Here’s a sample rule to send a notification when a sensor is triggered:

rule "Hallway Motion"
when
	Item motion_hallway changed
then
	if (motion_hallway.state == ON) {
		sendHttpPostRequest("https://<ntfy-url>/<ntfy-topic>?auth=<auth>", "text/html", "Hallway Motion")
	}
end

If assistance is required reach out!
