HS3 Pushover Plugin

[randman]

Cannot select Device/Group

I just installed Pushover version 0.0.0.38 (from HomeSeer updater).
When I create a "Pushover 3P: Send Pushover Message" action, I select the device that I want to send a message to (by putting a check mark next to the device). When I close the "Device/Group" drop down, the device that I selected does not show up next to "Device/Group". The drop down menu still says "Select Devices(s)/Groups" and does not show the device that I selected (see first snapshot, attached). When I collapse the action, the "Device/Group" says "All Clients" (see second snapshot, attached).

I'm using a Mac. I've tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox, and they all exhibit the same behavior; i.e. I cannot select the pushover device/Group to send a message to. The other drop-down type menu items in the HomeSeer GUI work just fine with the browsers that I use, except the Pushover 3P's "Device/Group" drop-down.

I also have the same problem on a Windows 10 PC using the Edge browser.

Any suggestions?

I'll put it on the list to sort out with a bit clearer logging but just to explain what it sounds like you have done is because of that event creating so many messages the plugin is set to check how many messages you send over what time period and if they are excessive it will disable itself.

It's sort of a protection measure to stop spamming Pushovers website, the plugin and also clearing your account of your free messages (about 7000 a month which the plugin could do in a minute or two if the events were set badly). It sounds like in this situation it has done exactly what it was designed to do but perhaps not quite clear that it had done so.

OMG, I didn't even know these existed, but that was the issue. It was set to Disabled.

Thank you rprade! I will remember for next time.

You have 2 virtual devices, both have to be on to deliver non-emergency messages. Are they both enabled?

I have been using the pushover plugin for a few years now without any issue.

However, last weekend I was testing some new events and accidentally caused about 200 pushover messages to be sent from HS through the plugin. I was able to stop the event but ever since then I have not been able to get any pushover messages to send from Homeseer, receiving this error in the log, "Messages Disabled in Pushover Device".


I ran through all the FAQ steps on Pushover's website to restore/unblock my ios devices but realizes they weren't actually blocked since I was still receiving pushover alerts from other (non-homeseer) applications. I still ran through the steps including deleting the app, manually setting the ios device 2 days ahead and reinstalling the device.

I suspect there is something blocked in the plugin but I can't figure out what.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin, deleting the config.ini file with no luck. I even created a new Pushover application to test with but still get the same blocked message.

Can someone help me walk-through things to check or do to restore this HS pushover plugin?
