Very nice!

[ronny3050]

@alexyak Thanks a lot! :D

Great! Does it work with iphone, too? I installed the app on my iphone, but i can’t see the notifications (whatsapp, facebook, twitter, mail, …) in pushbullet.

@djsunrise19 It looks like their iPhone app doesn’t support notifications which is understandable due to restrictions Apple has for ability to hook into global notifications on the device.

@ronny3050 this is very nice and easy to get working thank you very much! Would it be possible to change the time it takes for old notifications to fade away?

[djsunrise19]

@alexyak Thanks, yes it seems like that, very sad.

[djsunrise19]

I can’t get the icons. Any ideas?

Thank you! Do you mean the alerts? That can be changed in the config by changing ‘display_time’ in the alert module. Here’s the link to the alert module for more customization. Hope that helps :D

@djsunrise19 For some applications, the icons aren’t present at all, however, for most I have seen that it works, such as Outlook, Whatsapp etc. Please let me know what application icon is not working for you and I can test and see.

@ronny3050 oh thats perfect thank you :) also, in the part of the module that displays the notifications, the oldest notifications are displayed at the top of this list, while newer notifications fade to the bottom. This means that I can only see the first 6 or so notifications that appear from when I turn on the mirror, as old notifications dont seem to time out, leaving no space for new ones. Would it be possible to reverse this order so that new notifications appear at the top of the list?
Thanks very much for your help :)

edit: also I have noticed a bug where the alert boxes add up. so if I recieve a notification having recieved 4 previously, the “new phone notification” alert will appear 4 times.

Thank you very much for reporting these bugs. I shall push a fix for both and update you here! :D

[djsunrise19]

@ronny3050 F.e. Whatsapp, phone call, Wunderlist, pushbullet. So very weird!?

Another question: If I have a notification f.e. whatsapp and I read the message on my phone, the entry is still on the mirror for hours?! Should it be like that? Where is my fault?

[ronny3050]

@djsunrise19 About your icons, I can better help you out on chat.

It’s indeed like that. I have yet to figure out a way to know when you have read that notification. I will finish up @guybatt234 's requests and bugs and get it to next if you’d like!

Iphone…ughhhhhh nice phone but there’s so much you can’t do…

[McSorley]

@ronny3050 Any ideas on how to clear notifcations once read?

[chengstark]

amazing module and it works well on my mirror except it failed to display the logo of each apps

[ronny3050]

@cowboysdude I will take a look at iPhones. There has to be a way, could you perhaps ship your iPhone to me for testing ;)
@McSorley I will take a look at that. Stay tuned!
@chengstark thanks a lot! :D others have said that too. Could you list some of the apps that have the icons?
