HS3 Pushover Plugin

[mrhappy]

hi.
sorry but that didnt help at all.
since i had a lot of slow responses on my linux machine, i moved my HS3 back to windows and all is well again.
i think it is a linux compatibility issue

OK, yes it does sound like it if you are running it the same on your windows PC. It may be a missing package of some sort I don't know as it seems to work for other linux users.

I'm sorry I did reply in post #1131 but as I didn't do a direct quote you probably did not get a notification.

If you can try that version and let me know then I will be able to advise further.

What am I doing wrong here? Trying to get a message when the garage door has been open for 1 hour. I got 35 messages. I only want 1.

Here is how I did my alerts. It works perfectly. After 30 minutes of the door being open, I will receive a pushover alert every 30 minutes until it is closed.

You realize you can control that based on the license you publish it under, right?

Yes - but it is almost completely unenforceable and especially for something this small. I can't see HST taking any action if it happened (such as excluding it from the store) as they would be making money from it that they would not be making out of me.

It is something I have already thought about but not something I realistically wish to do, I don't really like the thought of someone potentially profiting from my work (there would be nothing I could do to stop them) and it would take me some time to comment everything to a point where someone else could actually understand it. The plugin is not overly complex and someone wishing to make a Pushover plugin for HS4 would be just as well to start from scratch.

That's to do with the trigger..."at least" is evaluated by HS constantly rather than once, that's why the plugin just sends messages all the time. You will probably want a "for exactly" trigger.

Hi, the documentation link seems to be still down.

Does anyone have the list of instructions on how to get the plugin to function?

Thanks

IMPORTANT RE HS4

I have tested the HS3 plugin with HS4 version 4.0.0.19 and it appears to work OK (you will however have the HS3 configuration pages), not a great user experience but it does seem like it works.

I guess this is an alpha for devs only
. Managing to find it http://homeseer.com/updates4/SetupHS4_4_0_0_19.msi ,..just curious... V 14 to 19 are on their server


edti : blocked on the registration process ...hs3 temp licence doesn't work. Need an hs4 temp one I guess ----

HS4 Alpha installations will currently only work with trial licenses.

rjh would be nice to be able to get an hs4 30days licence just to mess a little with the software :O

THere is also the option to use pushover via node red. I do this at my mother's place ( 5 plugins limit)

Still use hs3 plugin here. But that might be an option , wtv is happening

Would you consider making the plugin open source? That way, someone could make the changes for HS4 UI and also fix any HS4-related bugs in the future?

Thank you for letting everyone know your plan for Pushover. I have to say I am disappointed. We use this Pushover plugin everyday and it works so well.

I have been using Geofency web hooks via MYHS and have had a couple of issues with the notification not making it to my HS system because of load balance issues on the HS servers. This kind of unreliable service concerns me if I am eventually forced to move over to their push notifications. Your Pushover plugin has been rock solid for years!

I don’t want my post to come across negatively, I just want to make sure you know that I appreciate the plugin you created which has provided users a choice. I understand that it still works....just disappointed about its future. I have no intent to adopt HS Mobile just for push notifications as I don’t find it useful compared to my custom HST project.

Thank you for you contribution to HS!

Thank you and I do understand people might be disappointed as they are reliant on Pushover for notifications and don't wish to use HSMobile, it gives me no pleasure to do this but with the number of plugins I have then I estimate it would take me months of work to make them all native HS4 plugins and I simply don't have that sort of time. It may be that this plugin continues to work just fine for the life of HS4 but there is also every chance that it won't at some point.
