Signal (and signal-cli) now allow sending messages to yourself which appear as "Note to Self" in the app.

The process for me was:

  1. Android app already registered with my number on my phone (i.e. master device)
  2. Install signal-cli on OctoPrint. But do NOT "register"
  3. Run signal-cli link -n "OctoPrint" on Octoprint to generate a tsdevice link
  4. Copy the tsdevice link to generate a QR code.
  5. Back in the app on your phone Settings --> Linked devices --> +
  6. Scan QR code and accept link
  7. Send yourself a message with signal-cli signal-cli -u +447555000555 send -m "My first message from the CLI" +447555000555
  8. Profit

Major downside is that you don't get a notification on the app as it comes through as Note-to-self.
