HS3 Pushover Plugin

[will40]

Mr Happy

I hope you can help me. It seems HS3 stopped pushing the pushover messages to my device clients. This may have stopped a few days ago. I made no changes to the PI or to my account. I test from the pusher website it works fine to my clients.

I test an event in HS3 and it logs the pushover message in the PI config as if it went out. Just not getting to my device(s).

Is there something I can do to reset this? Of course I just noticed it is not working now that I preparing to go away for the next few days

I just noticed I was getting these error messages in the log; Unknown Exception in Pushmessage Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Looks like the pushover.net site is down. Is this related or is this a configuration issue? It was working before.

It's a fair point to raise and one I had not really thought about since the plugin was made all those years ago as I probably had the naive belief that most people would have a connection that is relatively stable or have some sort of backup. At the minute all that will happen is that the message will not go and you will get an error in the log, it will not try to send it again.

I will see if I can put in a timer or queue if I get a web timeout exception and add the message to a list for periodic retrying.

Completely agree, internet is typically stable other than power outages, but in my case on the odd (very odd) occasion I have a glitch where things like weather or QNAP reports not being able to connect.

Only recently started with Homeseer and looking at its potential to be a mini intruder system, notifying me when sensors are triggered, and came across this plugin. My Homeseer is on a UPS but modem/router isn't (will add one down the track) hence was just a thought to ensure best possible receiving a notification.

I have a search but came up with nothing so apologise if this is somewhere in this 78 page thread..... wondering what happens if the internet is down, does this plug-in retry until it succeeds or is there a simple way to achieve this via Homeseer?

Great plugin and thank you!

You could use this plugin via a script, and if the send fails, continue to try until it succeeds. That will only work for you if the plugin function returns failure information, which I am not sure about as I have not tried.

In my experience, the message simply fails to send. It would be nice if the plugin could keep a queue of messages that fail and then send them once the internet connection is back up.

Strange one - but you can try and add it manually. Try the following;

1) Stop the plugin
2) Open your HS3PushoverConf.ini file which is in your \Config directory
3) If you don't have an [APITokens] section then add this to the bottom of the file
4) Then enter a key like this appname=appkey and save the file
5) Restart the plugin, see if the application name is now in the event actions

It should look something like this;

[Settings]
UsrKey=KWnsGKueetY17to66uAypaJn6xxxxx
eInterval=60
eExpiry=200
WantDevices=False
FloodNumber=50
[Clients]
iPad=removed
nexus7=removed
iPhone=removed
redminote4=removed
cttiphone=removed
honor9lite=Nothing
[B][APITokens]
HomeSeer=cJvZXLNqBGifwKv2AcqfR5namxxxxx
default=cJvZXLNqBGifwKv2AcqfR5namxxxxx[/B]

Just wanted to chime in that I was trying to set up the plugin from scratch today and ran into the same issue adding my application. Editing the INI file manually worked.

Great plugin so far!!

Ahh right, yea I was trying everything I don’t even remember taking that screen capture but more than likely trying it from my office .. however local or remotely same error.. hmm wonder What library I could be missing.. I’ll try a fresh install shortly (over next few days) and report back in, I like that I can pop in a new micro sd card and start over if no progress pop the old one back in

[mrhappy]

yes I never use myhs.. always direct shell or a local pc. I did not have really have a need for push notifs. so can go on without it. ill reach back out when i do get around to reinstalling it. I have a twillio account so may possibly down the roads use that for sms notif. Thanks mrHappy enjoy the weekend. PS yea it a pi i built and installed raspbian then HS3

OK you might be missing one of the Mono libraries for web pages if you have issues on more than my plugin and you have self built...the reason I asked re MyHS is that it does appear you are using it to access the page because in that screenshot it is accessing connected2.homeseer.com which is one of the MyHS URL's. It shouldn't cause an issue but don't know of much else that will cause a problem.

[Ravell]

Have you tried directly by the IP address rather than by MyHS? It might behave the same but this error is particularly vague and unhelpful so I don't really know where to start. Did you build the Pi and install the packages yourself or have you purchased it from HS? Do other plugin config pages work OK?

Just a heads-up for Pushover users. I noticed a delay in notifications for the past couple of days, just some erratic behavior in general, and I had to re-register a couple of devices due to DDoS attacks on their server.
