HS3 Pushover Plugin

[mrhappy]

Hi
i moved my homeseer from windows to linux and my pushover for some reason is not working on some places.
i have a weather push that goes through and a news update that i had to trim otherwise it didnt arrive on my cell.
now i am trying to send an attachment file. when sending without the file, the push goes through but when attaching the file i get "Error POST URL Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.".

any ideas?

The event structures may be different between the OS's which is why things may not work. Can you please attach a screenshot of your event with the attachment? Also if the file is not sensitive would you be able to send it me so I can verify that I can send it to myself?

Is there a way to automatically reset the Pushover message count at the beginning of the month?



Edit:
OK, this is weird, it did reset. I guess I never saw it on the first of the month last month.

I set this device with data from the HTTP header replies from Pushover when you send a message, some more detail is on their API page;

Once message limits have been reached, requests will be rejected with a 429 HTTP status code. Message limits are reset at00:00:00 Central Time on the 1st of each month. Per-day and per-month usage statistics can be viewed on each application's page, as well as through HTTP headers returned in each API call to the messages endpoint showing your app's monthly message limit (plus any additional purchased capacity), the number of messages sent this month, and the Unix timestamp of when the count will reset.
X-Limit-App-Limit: 7500
X-Limit-App-Remaining: 7496
X-Limit-App-Reset: 1393653600

Thanks MattL0

Sorry it was my auto correct that corrected ping to pick, your results are a little slower than I would expect (I get a ping of 88ms, I'm on a fairly average ADSL line) but it should not introduce a delay of that long. I will drop you a PM if that is OK to run through a few things.

I think he want you to send a ping to api.pushover.net in the cmd.exe

i think the command in windows is :
ping api.pushover.net

Thanks MattL0

OK can you go into command prompt and pick api.pushover.net and see what sort of times you are getting?

Sorry you have lost me on that one. Windows command prompt?
I googled how to send via cURL Windows command prompt and my head started to hurt.

No VPN, however i have 2 modems.
One is setup as an access point for all wireless connections.
HS pc is using this wireless access point.

Trying to access the documentation referenced on the store page to set this plugin up. The link is http://seriousface.ddns.net/plugins/...#Pushover%203P but that seems to be currently down?

Well thats me eating my words already, do you have anything unusual in your network setup on your HS PC - multiple gateways, VPN connections etc? I will put together a short test script to test if thats OK which will determine whether or not the issue is in the plugin or could be elsewhere.

Thanks, I have just experimented several times while watching the Log.


- I ran the event to send the message and instantly got a Log saying the event has run.
- 55 Seconds later i got 'Pushover Notification Sent' in the Log
- 1 Second later The Notification came through.

I to have been experiencing delays for the past few months, prior to that it was almost instantaneous. The delays are constantly between 30-90 seconds.

I was leaning towards it being an issue with our Samsung Phones, however, I have tried simultaneously sending a message via Homeseer and via the pushover.net webpage and the webpage is always instant then the Homeseer Message comes through a minute later.

The plugin sends the message to the Pushover servers which introduces additional steps that won't be present doing it via the Pushover website. What I'd suggest is look at the HS log and see when the notification is sent, when you see that notification then it is outside of the plugins hands and has gone to Pushover. It's a matter for them what happens next, you can always contact them with a message ID and see if they can help determine anything additional.

If you send a message from a HS event and there is a delay between sending and getting the sent message in the log then I can look at that but if HS gets the sent notification instantly (I suspect it does) then I'm afraid there is little I can do to figure out where the issue is.
