After nearly losing a drive that SMART still rated "PASSED," I built SMART Sniffer - a HACS integration that actually watches the attributes that predict failure.

https://github.com/DAB-LABS/smart-sniffer

What it does:

  • Monitors early warning SMART attributes (reallocated sectors, uncorrectable errors, wear leveling, pending sectors)
  • Fires persistent HA notifications automatically when something starts climbing
  • Multi-machine ~ lightweight Go agent on each machine, auto-discovered via mDNS
  • One-liner install per machine, zero config in HA
  • HAOS add-on available for monitoring the local host drive

What it doesn't do:

  • No standalone web UI or database to maintain
  • No MQTT, no InfluxDB, no Grafana
  • Not a Scrutiny replacement ~ it's the "just tell me before it's too late" approach

Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Published ARM for RasPi. Needs testing.
