Email alert for EDM scheduled power cuts in Cabo Delgado, Mozambique — runs on GitHub Actions. *Read this in Português.* # EDM Cabo Delgado Power Cut Alerts Emails you whenever EDM posts a new scheduled power cut ("Corte Programado") for **Cabo Delgado** on edm.co.mz. Runs for free on GitHub Actions, every 4 hours. It remembers which outage reference codes (e.g. `PEM260705-0092`) it already alerted on, so you only get one email per outage. ## Setup (about 10 minutes) ### 1. Create a Gmail App Password You need a Gmail account to *send* the alert (it can email any address, including itself). 1. Go to myaccount.google.com and enable **2-Step Verification** if not already on. 2. Go to myaccount.google.com 3. Create an app password named "EDM alert" and copy the 16-character code. ### 2. Create the GitHub repository 1. Sign in to github.com (free account is fine). 2. Create a **private** repository, e.g. `edm-alert`. 3. Upload these files keeping the folder structure: - `check_edm.py` - `README.md` - `.github/workflows/edm-alert.yml` Easiest way: on the repo page, **Add file → Upload files**, and drag the whole folder contents in. (To create the `.github/workflows` folder via the web UI, use **Add file → Create new file** and type `.github/workflows/edm-alert.yml` as the filename, then paste the workflow content.) ### 3. Add your secrets In the repo: **Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret**. Add three: | Name | Value | |---|---| | `SMTP_USER` | your Gmail address | | `SMTP_PASS` | the 16-character app password | | `ALERT_TO` | the email where you want alerts | ### 4. Test it Go to the **Actions** tab → "EDM Cabo Delgado outage alert" → **Run workflow**. Since the current Cabo Delgado outage is new to the script, you should receive an email within a minute or two. ## Notes - To monitor a different province, add a repository secret or edit the script's `PROVINCE` default. - To change frequency, edit the `cron` line in the workflow (`0 */2 * * *` = every 2 …
