[APP][Pro] Pushover

Got your dono! Let me know if you are pleased with the feature.

It works well thank you. Is there any chance you could also add a flow card with both an image and a url? Then I can send a snapshot from my security camera along with a deep link to my NVR app to show its live feed.

Thanks again for your quick responses.

New version submitted. TY for the dono.

New test version working beautifully, thank you again

@Kim_Kokholm sorry to bother you again but could you possibly add Priority to the two cards with URL and URL Title? I am using these for doorbell notifications and I want to be able to control the priority of the notification depending on whether I am home / asleep etc.

I guess maybe that could be made an optional field to avoid that being a breaking change for anyone else with these cards in their flows.

Thank you again!

Hi @Jonathan_Draper

As I am aware, optional parameters does not exists. Iā€™ve added a combination with url, image and priority - hoping to save your day :slight_smile:

TEST version can be installed from here:

Oh fantastic. Thank you so much!

Purely for interest since the new card will be all I need (thanks again), there is a section showing how to add optional arguments on a card here: https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/flow/arguments

Hello Kim,

Thanks for the quick reply on qithub :slight_smile: I just read the topic. Is it correct that it is to difficult to setup the extra values what comes with the extra emergency option? Or do I read it wrong?

Hi @M_J

Homey would like to keep the cards simple and not too complicated - I also think this is what most of the users would like as well.

Last time Iā€™ve read the api, the values for emergency is kinda tricky - maybe theyā€™ve solved it on their test-page. What Iā€™ve experienced is some rules for repeat and pause, some threshhold values are allowed - so what I would like to implement (cannot remember if Iā€™ve already have) is for someone experienced user with Pushover to tell what is the optimal options for Emergency - I can then in the app add Emergency 1 or 2 - this specific ā€œgoodā€ values = bringing the complexity down for what values are allowed and so on for the emergency option.
Does this sound ok?

That sound great. I think this is a nice future for the app :+1:

Hi @M_J

I would love to implement emergency.
I do need some feedback.
I do need some valid values for entry and expire. Please see the documentation.

https://pushover.net/api#priority

I do not want every usage to set the entry and expire - I want to adopt Emergency with entry and expire preset - and not settable by the app/user.

If you provide me with valid (please, well-thought) values for entry and expire, I would love to implement these for the Pushover app for Homey.

Thanks for the effort, and ofcourse i could help you (in the way i can).

I think itā€™s a good solution to set some static values, so itā€™s just a priority change for the user.

First a possible list of situations where users used the emergency prio:

  • maybe as a sleep wake up call for important messages

  • when people donā€™t react on notifications, so they get a emergency reminder that the notification is important

  • for fire or water alarms.

If i take the possible situations as a guideline than i think dat the retry values donā€™t be the low.
The smallest value of 30 seconds is to low i think. Users find it to annoying.

Maybe 5 minutes (300seconds) is a better choice.
For wake up situations itā€™s not to often i think. (users have also some time to acknowledge the notification).

What i donā€™t know is how the acknowledged input works. Is this for example when a fire alarm gets disabled or when a flow gets disabled in homey, or how does this work?

For the expire parameter itā€™s a harder solution. In my situation i would suggest 20 minutes, so you get 4 times a new reminder. I also think that it isnā€™t desirable to use the max expire time.

What are your thoughts about it?

Hi @M_J

Iā€™ve now added Emergency as you have ordered. Please check this out.

Iā€™ve also added RateLimit

Thank you!
I quickly tested it and i get a notification in emergency prio. But only ones and without a sound?
I will check if i could find the problem.

Hi @M_J
Just to be clear, does emergency work as intended? Please let me know if Iā€™ve missed something.

Yes i found the problem. It works great! Thank you :slight_smile:
