Not receiving push notifications

[Sardon]

No such issues with Pushover.

And the scripts are little more than cut and paste with tons of examples throughout the IPCT thread. Here's mine for basic image alerts. The syntax is explained early on in the thread.

Working Script: https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json -s --form-string "token=your auth token" --form-string "user=your user string credential" --form-string "message=Activity Detected in Driveway<b>&CAM</b> &MEMO" --form-string "device=Stylo-5" --form-string "sound=Pushover" -F "attachment=@D:\BlueIris\Alerts\&ALERT_PATH"

Plug it in here:

Curl Run Action.jpg

Schedule it if you like: (which can also be done with the app)

Add your favorite sound effect and start getting alerts.

If you want images to be UI3 links, just add the syntax for the live stream and tap the image.

Pogo this is the confusing bit on the website it shows you a userkey top right which i presume goes into the "form-string "token=your auth token" section, obviously that replaces the "your auth token" bit.. so what is supposed to go in the your user string credential section?

And there's me saying i'll do this tomorrow.. I won't stop now until I get this sorted LOL

Update: Ahh I have to create the API for the specific app in this case BI..

Damn I think that worked. Just had to alter the path for my alerts which reside in C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 5\Alerts.. I even presumed that the spaces between the drive path would cause an issue, but it didn't.

I had to disable AI etc so I can just have a bright light turn off and on again (by voice) to run tests because I'm lazy at the moment, but I got an alert and with my custom creepy sound!

I removed the <b>&CAM</b> as they were being displayed in the actual alert the <b> </b> was being shown, so now it looks like &CAM and it's perfectly displayed.

Right time to re-enable CPAI and select person only and do a walk by test...

Next I need to add the links.. I can defo do that tomorrow for sure

Pogo, what can I say? You’re an absolute lifesaver!

Not only did this solution work perfectly, but it even displays the CPAI confidence level, which is brilliant. It’s working seamlessly; the only thing left is to test it over the cellular network without being connected to my Wi-Fi.

A huge thank you for sharing this, mate. For anyone else experiencing issues, Pushover is definitely the way forward! I’m seriously impressed, and it takes a lot to impress me. Well done!

Check it out!

Happy to help.

I added Blue Iris push notifications to Telegram, along with sending an alert image.

I shouldn't get better results from a free chat app than the paid Android app, but that's the current state of the Blue Iris app at the moment...

Pogo,

Because of you I just installed Pushover and it's working great. I've been thinking of doing this for over 1 year, you gave me the nudge I needed.

Thank you,
Michael

Is Pushover free? I don't particularly want to pay for something BI used to do under the cost of the license.

It's cheap and it gives you some redundancy in methods to contact your devices. I use it too.

I asked about this in another thread, just found this one. Same problem here, no push notifications. I get "Server error 12150".

OK, you talked me into trying pushover. It is easy to use (especially with the examples supplied here) and it is reliable and does have nice functionality. Worth the $5 one time charge.

The BI notifications seem to be a little more reliable the last couple of days. But both BI notifications (when working) and the pushover notifications are not as instantaneous as the BI notifications used to be just a couple of months ago. I wonder if the lag isn't something with my internet provider or my phone carrier or both.

When I'm home, my android phone is connected to my wifi and using open vpn, so my phone and BI server are on the same network. It would be nice to have a toggle in pushover (or other) to send the message to the android device via lan or wan.

Has anyone tried both pushover and telegram for BI notifications and willing to share a quick comparison?
