HS3 Pushover Plugin

[mrceolla]

I assume the syntax you're using used to work since you said running via script is an important part of your setup. All of my Pushover messages are sent via a script as well, and they are still working. My code is a little different and I don't know VB well enough to know if what you're doing is equivalent or not. I use this:

Dim toClients As String = "All Clients" ' separate with | if multiple; "All Clients" for all
Dim pushBody As String = Regex.Replace(body, vbCrLf, "") ' Body; let us remove vbCrLf and rely on HTML <br> for push messages; 512 char max; changed to 1024 in .45
' Pushover messages have 1024 max length
If pushBody.Length > 1023 Then
pushBody = pushBody.Substring(0, 1023)
End If
Dim title As String = subject ' Title
Dim priority As String = priorityParam ' Priority
Dim sound As String = soundParam ' Sound
Dim url As String = "" ' URL
Dim urlTitle As String = "" ' URL Title
Dim apiString As String = "" ' API String
Dim attachmentPath As String = "" ' Attachment path

Dim pushResult As Boolean = hs.PluginFunction("Pushover 3P", "", "Pushscript", New Object() {toClients, pushBody, title, priority, sound, url, urlTitle, apiString, attachmentPath})

I haven't made any updates to my system, but I recently lost lost the ability to send Pushover messages via VB script. I can still send send messages using Event actions.

I was using the .52 version plugin (which is the most current version available on the Homeseer web site), but I noticed you uploaded .54 here. So I installed .54 and I'm still getting an error message in the HS log and no message is going out when using a script to do so. Here's is a basic script I wrote just to test the functionality:

Public Sub Main(ByVal Parms As Object)
Dim CO(8) As Object

CO(0) = "All Clients"
CO(1) = "Script Test"
CO(2) = "Test"
CO(3) = Nothing
CO(4) = Nothing
CO(5) = Nothing
CO(6) = Nothing
CO(7) = Nothing
CO(8) = Nothing

hs.PluginFunction("PushOver 3P", "", "Pushscript", CO)

End Sub

And here is the error message I get in the HS Log:

Jan-26 15:35:37

Pushover 3P

PushMessage Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Jan-26 15:35:37

Pushover 3P

Attachment Does Not Exist - Sending Without

I've tried deleting the plugin, reinstalling, restarting Homeseer, rebooting my Windows machine...nothing has worked. I opened the plugin using the HS developer console and pasted the results below when I try to send a pushover message via VB script. Any suggestions on how I can start sending pushover messages via script again? It's a very important part of my setup.

THANKS!

Yes, the plugin was stopped (but not HS). Will try again. Thx for the feedback

edit: restarting HS did it, thx

PI console still shows 0.0.0.53 instead of 0.0.0.54, is this normal ?
just disabled the PI and copied the exe over the old one (0.0.0.54 over 0.0.0.53).
Everything else seems to work though.

Have you stopped the plugin before copying the file ? I had the same problem, I stopped the plugin, copied over the old file, restart and now I have the correct version

This is an issue which has caused an issue with other plugins of mine - it appears that the device code is dropped when you go into the device details page and then the plugin will try and create the device again (because it can't find the device in HS because the data is not there), if you edit this device again the code will go and the sorry process will continue.

I have fixed that I think now with the version on this post, sadly you will have to start again with HS devices which may cause some people to be reluctant to do this but it is there if they wish to.

Hello and thank you for this great plug-in. I did not see release notes, I'm curious what to expect if I update from .48 to .52?
Thanks and stay safe.

Strange (little) problem. Plugin version 0.0.0.52. HS3 3.0.0.548. If I modify for example the Pushover icon or the Floor parameter on a Pushover device, disable and enable the plugin new duplicate devices are created. Looks like the plugin creates new devices if something is changed on the original devices.

I am an idiot. Please can you try this version...

Agree with Dan-O: No idiot - by a long shot.

Latest version works a treat.

Thanks!
Alex

OK I can change this and probably should in all my plugins, thanks for the heads up. I'm not against minor changes like this...

Excellent! Keep up the good work!

[mrhappy]

Thanks mrHappy! Latest version works just fine.

However, you are using images from the "contemporary" folder. While it does exist on my HS4 production system, (upgraded from HS3) it does not exist on a fresh HS4 installation (my dev environment). All the references images exist in the "status" folder as well, and they are exactly the same.

The simple fix would be to use the ones from the "status" folder, that should work for HS3 and HS4. As I workaround, I copied the images to the contemporary folder for now.

I know, HS4 is not supported

NO WAY ARE YOU AN IDIOT!

I use your Pushover Plugin all the time.

Hi there.

Looks like with the latest version 0.0.0.52 sending messages from a script in HS3 doesn't work anymore. There's no errors or anything - just no message sent. Same script with same parameters works fine with 0.0.0.48. I've downgraded and got everything working for now, so no pressure.

Here's the relevant part of the script:

Dim CO(8) as Object
CO(0) = "phone1|phone2"
CO(1) = "Roomba hat eine Reinigungsaufgabe in " & Total_Time & " Minuten erledigt und ist nun zurück im Dock."
CO(2) = "Roomba Reinigung beendet"
CO(3) = Nothing
CO(4) = "Gamelan"
CO(5) = Nothing
CO(6) = Nothing
CO(7) = "iRobot"
CO(8) = Nothing

hs.PluginFunction("Pushover 3P", "", "Pushscript", CO)

Cheers,
Alex
