Phone Notifications

@tnorling what do you say we create our own mobile application for both Android and iOS that can push notifications. This way, we won’t have to rely on Pushbullet and can control push limits.

@ronny3050 Nope, I made a PushBullet specifically for this module. The error returned after just two notifications on the mirror.

I can get a single notification to appear now, but only from the “Send Test Notification” button from the Mirroring menu on the Pushbullet app. The console will output null and then after that, nothing more.

@malicious_banjo the more I think about it, the more convinced I get that we should have our own application. The issue is I am not very knowledgeable in the workings of Pushbullet which will always limit my abilities to solve issues like this.

Do you think it is reasonable to have a widget installed on your Android phone that pushes notifications instead of relying on PushBullet?

malicious_banjo

@ronny3050 Seems perfectly reasonable to me. Would it abandon the usage of the PushBullet API/Access Token completely?

ronny3050

@malicious_banjo Yes, it will. It will be a lot of work, but I think it would work well due to the following advantages -

Phone call alert with caller ID
App for both Android and iOS
No relying on push limits/month
Issues can be resolved in an easier fashion

@ronny3050 Sounds great. I just finished my mirror a few days ago so I’m quite new to this community; have they’re been a fair amount of issues concerning this module? I’m guessing some kind of recent update to PushBullet is throwing everything out of whack?

It’s possible and yes, there are more issues than I would like to have. I’ll get started on this and update you. Please hang tight! :)

@malicious_banjo another advantage is pushbullet does not capture all notifications - it depends on the applications sending the notification. This should be resolved by having a custom app as well :)

Was looking at this module to display some push notifications. I know that it won’t work with Pushover due to their API, but there is one option that Pushover has that would be really useful which is syncing alert dismissals. This means that you can get the alerts on your phone or mirror, but as soon as you acknowledge it on the phone it is removed from all other devices. This would be good to ensure you see the alert wherever you are, but are able to control when it is removed from the mirror. Just a thought :)

Issue:
I see on the screen no new notifications, I also i added the API Key from Pushbullet on the config but I can’t send message from the Iphone to the MagicMirror. I only see in the Iphone App the Iphone and not the MagicMirror.

Thanks for help me or clarified.
