+# Drive Health Monitoring Script
+
+This script checks the SMART health status of all available drives on the system and sends notifications using the `ntfy` service. The script will alert you if any drives are failing and provide a summary of the health status for all drives.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before running the script, ensure you have the following installed:
+
+- **smartmontools** (to check drive SMART status)
+  ```bash
+  sudo apt install smartmontools
+  ```
+- **requests** Python library (for sending notifications)
+  ```bash
+  pip install requests
+  ```
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Clone or download the script to your machine.
+2. Ensure you have proper permissions to run `smartctl` with `sudo`.
+3. Edit the script to replace the ntfy URL (`https://ntfy.hrasci.eu/rpi5`) with your desired ntfy topic.
+4. Run the script:
+   ```bash
+   sudo python3 drive_health.py
+   ```
+
+The script will:
+- List all available drives on the system.
+- Check the SMART health status of each drive.
+- Send notifications via `ntfy`:
+  - If a drive is unhealthy, it sends an urgent notification with warning tags.
+  - If all drives are healthy, it sends a low-priority notification.
+
+## Example Notifications
+
+- **Healthy drives**:
+  - Notification with the title "All Drives Healthy" and tags `ok`, `check`.
+  
+- **Unhealthy drives**:
+  - Notification with a title indicating the specific drive, an urgent priority, and warning tags `warning`, `skull`.
