HS3 Pushover Plugin

[gjelsvik]

Hi all,


Can we do message replacement variable you can use in Pushover messages or emails.

Yes you can.

You can use Homeseers replacement variables:
https://www.homeseer.com/support/hom..._variables.htm

$$DSR
$date
$time
$$date
$$time
etc...

Here is one that sends me the current temperature of our freezer and sends me a message if it is over 18F as long as it is not in a defrost cycle. $$DSR:1766: is the freezer temperature device



Here is one that sends me a notice when my HomeSeer server CPU usage is excessive. The two replacement variables are Jon00 computer performance monitoring devices.



The above event creates this message

The pushover plug-in supports HomeSeer replacement variables. For a string of text, I send it to a virtual device's string and use the virtual device's replacement variable in Pushover messages.

BTW, if you ever get you're own domain use Google Domain Services. You can run DDNS with their servers directly with any router that allows you to put the DDNS server IP in. I've been using them for a while and haven't looked back.

Ok, now I understand what's gong on so I won't worry about it. Thanks for getting back on this.

Should be back online now (here ), I did a bit of a silly thing and confirmed my hostname with NoIP when I got the email on my phone - it put the IP of my phone as the host

Hi,


I am trying to get Pushover setup. It works from the Pushover website, but I can't get the Homeseer part working.


Can someone post the documentation - none of the links seem to work.


Thanks,


Dave

I'm sorry work has been a bit chaotic, I moved the documentation to my own web server but it looks to be broken, I'll fix it later tonight and if you are still struggling let me know.

I've been using pushover for a while now and it's been great. However something is happening and I have no idea why.

I just created a vb script that reads the RPi CPU temperature and put it in to a virtual device. All that works just fine. What happening is that when editing the script within HS3 every time I tell it to save the script I get the following displayed on the console.

[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionCount() 17
[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionCount() 17
[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionName() 1
[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionName Return: Send Pushover Message
[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionName() 2
[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionName Return: Withdraw Emergency Pushover Message
[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionName() 3
[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionName Return: Change Emergency Settings
[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionName() 4
[6/5/2018 7:55:20 AM] ActionName Return: Send Glance Message

This does not show in the logs and the only reason I see it is that I'm still running my HS3 build by issuing "sudo ./go" at the linux command prompt.

It also happens if I open and close the options at the bottom of the event. No where in the event do I do anything with pushover.

I have NO idea what pushover is sending this out.

If I disable Pushover it goes away and if I re-enable it comes back.

If I create a new empty event that event and toggle options it acts the exact same way.

If I go to an old event and toggle options it doesn't.

Somehow pushover seems to be connecting it self to newly created events.

And the really weird thing is that if I creat a new empty event with pushover disabled it does the same thing.

As I said I only see this on the console output not in the logs. Could you have left some sort of test code in that only comes out on the console?

I log a lot to the console window, some plugins make sparing use of the console window, some log a fair bit to it - I find it useful for developing/debugging (and indeed HS left it as an option to enable developer mode so probably had the same intention else they wouldn't give you the option to display the window) and as such tend to find it good to show what the plugin is doing.

Now windows is obviously doing things differently because each plugin loads in a separate window (and you can disable them) so it is easy to see what just belongs to that plugin and it does not show in the main HS log. Linux without the windows interface merges them all together and puts them in the console window, you should find this happen with any plugin it is probably just that I log more to it hence why you see it more often.

When you go into any event in HS it calls into every plugin in the HS system and asks for the action names that belong to that plugin (it puts them in the drop down list). The plugin will answer with the names and it uses those in the drop down list when you build an event, this is irrespective of whether you use them in the event or not. It is not the case that Pushover is attaching itself to unrelated events.

When you build an event then it should start to call into the ActionBuildUI, ActionProcessPostUI, ActionConfigured, HandleAction and possibly a couple of other methods to correctly handle the event action. This is just what HS does as part of it's normal routine, nothing out of the ordinary - if the Z-Wave plugin decided to do the same then it would show also. It should not show in the main HS log.

Thanks, mrhappy.. it seems to work fine now.. Well I get two alerts per lock,unlock.. that's much better than 6 and then every 10 mins afterward. LOL
Just learning this homeseer... I'll continue to read the forums, they've been a great help thus far.

[mrhappy]

Hmm, the same result... I tired "set if device changes" and "set it device is set or changed"

It might be worth your time having a read of the HS3 Event Clinic forum as that contains some very good guides on the nuances of the event engine. Some triggers are named in a slightly confusing matter and some settings of HS3 don't help in this regard, what can cause confusion is that HomeSeer (or perhaps more correctly, a HS plugin of whatever origin) can set a device value to the same value more than once. So what could be happening is that the lock is sending the same value to HS every 5 minutes or whatever as part of it's routine to keep them in sync and some events will trigger because the device value has been set...it's just been set to the same value (clear as mud? Although there is an option in the device settings to not update the last change time if the value does not change, that might help here). That's likely the issue in the example event you posted, Zorac is onto the right lines and you might want to look at 'changes and becomes locked' which should mean that it will only trigger when it changes from unlocked (or another status) to locked.

Ok thank you guys for the input! I will try this out... new to all this homeseer stuff.. but it is so cool.. you can do so much more..
