>It also has an XBee radio link to a Raspberry Pi which sends me email
Nice. Slack is great for this sort of things and adds additional mute channel functionality for normal events. There is the odd service (eg Freshping) that will check it can ping your Pi, even when on your on a dynamic IP, and alert you to outages. Results also sent to Slack but not muted.
I hope you have all the bad puns configured for your notification. “Chick in”, “chicken out”.
