Notifications Pushover Network Resources vs Email vs Polyglot?

If you want to try having Pushover natively notify you (instead of needing Tasker to intercept) - the try setting the priority to >0, and the sound to something.


token={token}&user={user}&priority=1&sound=falling&message={message}

1 causes Pushover to make a high priority notification, and 2 causes the message to repeat the notification until it's acknowledged. This can only be done from a NR AFAIK.

Tasker intercepting incoming will require a different triggering profile that what you used for email. I've never configured Tasker to trigger from incoming Pushover pushes (it just seems redundant).

For using NRs to send data to Tasker - this is the wiki I refer to: https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-99i_Series_INSTEON:Networking:Mobile_Notification:Tasker

In the wiki link you posted it says to set "GET" and mode is "C Escape" but if you set "GET" then the option for "C Escape" doesn't show up.  You need to select "POST" for that option.  Which is the correct way?

Also I am not sure what "On a desktop - visit the goog.gl URL in order to determine the long URL" in the instructions

That's interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. I think something may have changed in the ISY (since that wiki was written back in 2014).

GET is correct for sending to AutoRemote. I'll update the Wiki page accordingly to match current reality.

Edit: Wiki edited. Thanks for the report. I added additional clarification about variable substitution and interaction with 'Encode URL'  as well since when that page was originally written that was not possible.

Your welcome.  Ok figured out the problem.  I don't know how to use Autoremote!  This whole time I have been successfully sending myself messages but was expecting it to popup on the phone.  Didn't know I had to go into Autoremote and check for messages.  I realized this because I tried sending notifications instead of messages and saw the popups.  It works and I can receive messages from NR to phone.

Do you prefer messages or notifications?

Thanks

Personally, I prefer notifications. They are ephemeral and don’t clutter up an email inbox. Notifications are generally faster to arrive as well and don’t rely on the email client having to poll a mailbox.

I'm talking about the difference between a message and a notification in autoremote.  Are you saying a "message" in Autoremote is actually an email through autoremote?  In your wiki you have a link http://joaoapps.com/autoremote/     which has videos showing how tasker reacts to a message but not a notification.  Is there a difference between the message and notification?

Thanks

Without seeing your Tasker profiles it’s difficult to decode what you are meaning. I’ve never sent email to Tasker - so I don’t really know what profile elements you are using to have Tasker react to email.

Are you able to post some examples so I can see what is meant?

Behind the scenes - network rules will be faster than email - because network rules are a tcp socket made real time - and email is store and forward. Sometimes, the difference may be negligible. Other times, noticeable. It depends on many things outside of the scope of this forum.
