HS3 Pushover Plugin

[mrhappy]

Great!
Please include it in the PluginFunction as well - I use that a lot!

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

It's a little slow through the email gateway - several minutes, but it works great. If we could do it with the API it would be seconds.

Here is from my phone

And it even pops up on my watch

Could someone please do me the honours of trying version .37 here (http://s652164905.websitehome.co.uk/...r_0_0_0_37.zip - just replace the exe file), I have added the option to specify a path to a file. Now this is not a file selector because this box supports replacement variables (if you had a changing filename or something) so you need to copy a full path to a file. UNC paths appear to work fine however a URL will not (this is a security measure), I also have not tested it on Linux.

Whilst the attachments support up to 2.5MB I really do not suggest using anything towards this, sending this size file will cause the plugin to be quite busy encoding and uploading it (takes a minute to upload on my connection for a 2MB file) and I don't see a real need for a file this big. I would suggest keeping it in the hundreds of KB if you can.

The plugin does every effort to send the file quickly but because the file has to be decoded and sent along a HTTP connection it will not be seconds unless the file size is small. The Pushover API is not specific but I have tested bmp/gif/jpg and png files and they appear to work OK, please note that I had to get a bit down and dirty with the HTTP call with this because .net support for multi part messages did not come in until .net 4.5 and as such I had to make my own.

An additional property is now available in the Pushscript routine (please check your scripts) with this version, that is an additional string parameter for the file path in exactly the same format as the events page.

If it works I will press the button on the updater and let everyone download it..

Thanks.

So far so good. I tried multiple paths from the root down and they all worked. I picked a small image of about 90K and it arrived on my phone after about a minute. It looks like HomeSeer got the file to Pushover.net quickly so the delay is likely at Pushover's end. A minute is acceptable for my usage.

I will do some more testing with larger images to see what effect they have on speed and if there is a limit.

Excellent thanks for testing, I'll include it in the updater in that case and if anyone has any issues then let me know. The plugin should fault if you try and send anything larger than 2.5MB so it shouldn't let you be able to hang the plugin but it certainly could be a little unresponsive if you send huge files and there may be delays in other messages getting through.

working here with a delay as you mention but more than acceptable many thanks my native android doorbird app is now almost redundant! horrible thing! the snapshot from 3P Doorbird is approx 35kb and takes about 15 seconds to hit my mobile

Thanks. It failed on a 3mb file. I tried a 2.3mb file and it was the same speed as the 90k file. It arrived in 58 seconds by my stopwatch and HS processed it in 10 seconds.

Interesting you are seeing the same delay, I didn't do a lot of testing with different file sizes but I will take a look see whether or not there is any optimisation to be taken advantage of and if there is I will do a bit of testing. Thanks for testing.

You replied before I got a chance to edit the post. It took a second for the small file to process and send and 10 seconds for the 2.3mb file.

What is your delay if you are only sending text, not images?

A minute delay is fine if you only want notifications but too long for when you want to respond immediately... Like answering the front door, security/surveillance, etc

About 2-4 seconds without an image attachment.

When I try to send an 189K image I get the following error.

I kind of hoped it would be fine with Linux as it is fairly standard but I guess I have been proved wrong. I will do my level best to fix this but it might take a bit of time because I'm going to have to get a VM back installed.

It's finding the file and looks to be making half a go of it which is good at least, the fact it's not a 400 series error should help a bit so it could be a difference in encoding between the two platforms. For now I'm afraid you will have to make do with just sending messages the old way, when no text is sent in the attachment field the message gets sent by the old method.

mrhappy,

I upgraded your plugin today and did not really check on the update information. But now no more messages seem to be sent, all messages give the following error:

jan-29 23:00:06	 	Pushover 3P	Pushover Notification Sent - Message Title
jan-29 23:00:06	 	Pushover 3P	Attachment does not exist - check path/file status and try again - will send plain message

Why is it now demanding for an attachment and also, why is the "plain message" not sent? Do I really need to change all events now?

[deanrparry]

I'm still getting plain text working as normal here
