HS3 Pushover Plugin

[mrhappy]

I finally got around to test the setting and it works great. Sending glance message with 5 mins between is no problem but I've been careful not to send too many.

My idea is to send a new glance message when the house is armed or unarmed. If this hasn't happened in 30 min an update with outdoor temperature and other data is sent. Just need to figure out what kind of info I would like to see.

Is it possible to send html code, like setting the text to green if the house is unarmed?

Some HTML tags are supported including text colours, see here - https://pushover.net/api#html - so just put the HTML in the message field.

I am not sure how they follow through to the watch glance messages though, I can't test them.

Hey guys.
i am trying to add a pushover message to an event i am creating via script.
the idea is when i set a timer from the app, it will add the event and send a push to notify the event has been created.

i tried using
hs.PluginFunction("Pushover 3P", "", "Pushscript", New Object() {"All Clients", pir_name & " Offline","Circle Problem", "emergency", "Tug Boat", Nothing, Nothing, "A.I Emergency"})
but i get this message in the log:

Running script(2) &hs.PluginFunction("Pushover 3P", "", "Pushscript", New Object() {"All Clients", pir_name & " Offline","Circle Problem", "emergency", "Tug Boat", Nothing, Nothing, "A.I Emergency"}), init error: Expected end of statement


i am running this via immediate script
when am i missing?

As said by others try &nhs but be aware that pir_name is a variable and you are trying to send it by immediate script command which will not have that variable declared. This works for me,

&nhs.PluginFunction("Pushover 3P", "", "Pushscript", New Object() {"All Clients", "Offline","Circle Problem", "emergency", "Tug Boat", Nothing, Nothing, "A.I Emergency"})

no, sorry to be unclear.

nhs.plugin not hs.plugin.

I can't remember the exact syntax but try nhs.hs.PluginFunction("Pushover 3P", "", "Pushscript", New Object() {"All Clients", pir_name & " Offline","Circle Problem", "emergency", "Tug Boat", Nothing, Nothing, "A.I Emergency"})

hs.hs.PluginFunction? is this correct?

It is possible, the entry is

MessageDelay = Convert.ToByte(hs.GetINISetting("Settings", "GlanceDelay", "20", gINIFILE))

So adding the GlanceDelay=30 under the [Settings] key should work (you would need to restart the plugin). Be advised that Pushover advice concerning this is - "When sending data to the Apple Watch, we recommend at least 20 minutes between each call. If you have pushed too much data and WatchOS stops processing updates, this resets overnight." which is why I set it to 20, it might be unpredictable if set lower.

Thanks mrhappy. My problem is resolved with .35 on my SEL running Linux.

This is probably something simple. I've updated to HS3 to v379. There were changes made to the .INI API calls I think. I just noticed while trying to change a devices name by removing a device and adding it with a new name that the list contained some garbage which I couldn't get rid of using the Config section. Disabling and re-enabling the plug-in showed it finding weird devices. I had to edit the .INI file to remove the erroneous entries.

There should be only AJF-iPad & AJF-iPhone6. The goal was to change AJF-iPhone to AJF-iPhone6.

It also resulted in the device AJF-iPhone6 showing as Offline in Pushover web site and will not receive notifications although it will receive the message. I've asked Pushover about that.

I've fixed this I think in version .35 (I've not checked Linux as that might be an issue), changed it so the client gets marked as removed in the ini file and when the plugin loads back up it does not attempt to put the client in again. That is the only change so anyone that does not need to fix that does not need to worry.

This plugin is FANTASTIC, gonna send a donation!

Here's one question/idea -> can you drop variable values into the messages?

For example, start a counter when a door is opened. The plug sends the following once the door is closed:

"The front door has been closed. It was open for 3:42."

Thanks for the feedback, the plugin supports HomeSeers own replacement variables in the message title, body and the URL. One of those replacement variables is to get the name of a timer (http://help.homeseer.com/help/HS3/st...ment_variables) - so in the message you would do;

The front door has been closed. It was open for $$TIMER:door_timer:

Where door timer was the name of your timer, you will have to check the formatting of these as from memory the formatting was a bit longer than you wish for. If so might be worthwhile checking the option in HS to create devices from counters/timers, then in the message instead of $$TIMER you could do $$DSR which gets the device status of a given device reference.

I have tried to search thru the 40 pages of responses but cant find my answer.


Can you respond to a pushover notification?

For example, if I use BLLAN to track my phone wifi connectivity.

Can I send a pushover notification when I connect asking do I want to open the garage and be able to answer YES or NO?

Any ideas?

No - thats really outside the ability of pushover itself which does not allow for that, the only response you can do is from an emergency message and that is only to ack the receipt of that message. I'd suggest a look at Pushbullet as I think that may have at some point allowed something similar.

Thanks for reporting this - I think you are correct and there has been mention of it but forgot that I actually use the method that has probably broken. It is because I split the line on Chr(0) and I think that character has changed so I probably need to look at it again. I'll pop it on the list to fix.
