What is Reddit's opinion of Pushover?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Pushover, an app that'll send push notifications for emails sent to the email address they provide. I use it for alarms and urgent notifications.

I dropped $5 on Pushover after seen the dev post on reddit about how he built his app. Not as many features as Pushbullet, but I never used that many features of PB anyway.

I've been using Pushover and it works well.

For notification settings on HexChat it's in Settings -> Preferences. Select Alerts under Chatting. HexChat doesn't come with sounds configured so if you also want a sound alert you can configure those. The default Windows sound effects are located in C:\Windows\Media.

For getting notified on your Android you can use a service called Pushover. They give you 30 days to try it and it only costs one time payment of $5 for it. I personally use it for notification integration via a variety of software through its API.

Now for integrating it into HexChat, there is a plugin for HexChat in Python. You'll need to select Python 3.6 support when you install (or re-install if you didn't select this before) HexChat under Plugins support when you get to the installation options part. It will automatically download the Python 3.6.4 installer and launch it when you select it. The default settings for Python 3.6.4 don't need to be changed.

Here's the HexChat Pushover plugin: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olivergs/hexchat-pushover/master/hexchat_pushover.py

Save this into C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Roaming\HexChat\addons for it to autoload.

You still need to edit the .py file in order for it to work. Complete these lines in the file by putting the appropriate values in between the single quotes:

PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN='' PUSHOVER_USER_TOKEN=''

For PUSHOVER_USER_TOKEN, you'll find it after logging into https://pushover.net at the top where it says "Your User Key".

For PUSHOVER_APP_TOKEN, you need to go to https://pushover.net/apps/build and enter a name - "HexChat" is fine, and after creating it you will be given an "API / Token Key" for it. That's what you'd put here.

Now Run HexChat and under the server log tab you should see

Python interface loaded Pushover alert plugin loaded

Test out the notification by getting your nick mentioned, and you should get a notification on your phone through pushover. For the hell of it I tested this out myself before posting this reply to your question so I've verified it works as intended, so if it doesn't work for you then something wasn't done right.

I sincerely appreciate your help. I'll be checking into all of this tonight when I get home for sure.

Depends on the action, it can include links, photos, gifs...

For me, the different alert levels and app options are what makes it so much more useful, I can decide how "interruptive" an alert needs to be, and change the volume, notification type, and sound based on that.

>I'm working on teaching myself how to code in Python and wrote this script yesterday while anticipating the (predicted) volatility that was going to come today so I didn't have to spend all of my work day staring at the GDAX website.

>Basically what it does is pulls the GDAX price using the api and notifies you via the pushover app for your phone ( https://pushover.net/ ) if the price goes over/under certain price points that you set (ex. 15000, 16000, 17000) and what the local high/low is (basically what the script has seen happen) and how long it's been since it last saw a local high.

> Example Notifications Here

>It's fairly simple to set up, but does require a device that can run python to be on at all times to poll the gdax site and send the information to your phone. A raspberry pi would work great for this, or even running the script in the background on your computer.

>You need to create a credentials.py file and place it in the same directory as the Price_Alert.py file with your pushover user token and app token - both of which can easily be made at the pushover site (for free). Just register for an account and create a new app (top of the page) to get the key. The formatting of the file should look like:

<pre><code>push_token = "xxxx" push_user = "xxxx" </code></pre>

> Pushover iOS Link

> Pushover Android Link

>You can edit the Price_Alert.py file to change the step level (every $1,000 by default) and the time that it pulls the gdax information (60 seconds by default) but that's pretty much everything it takes to set it up.

>Again it's something I had made for myself - I thought it may help someone else. It is in no way the best python code you've ever seen.

You can probably do something like this with tasker and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.superblock.pushover
