Pushover is a messaging system that is easy for programmers and manufacturers to implement but not so easy to setup and manage, mostly due to the lack of documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pushover does not require an executeable to send messages, set a few variables and an HTTP post will successfully send a message. I use the powershell example below to send test messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$parameters = New-Object System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection
$parameters.Add(“token”, “qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq33r”)
$parameters.Add(“user”, “qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqdme”)
$parameters.Add(“message”, “Test from server 10.118.1.54 to My Phone”)
$client = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$client.UploadValues(“https:\/\/api.pushover.net\/1\/messages.json”, $parameters)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The token <\/strong>value above is the Application that the message comes From. Users can subscribe to this Application to receive alerts. When a user subscribes they get a virtual token that does not match their assigned user token. I believe this exists to keep their user token private.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The user <\/strong>value is associated with a user OR a group. If you pay for Pushover Teams you can manually add user tokens to a group and a memo field lets you keep track of what token belongs to whom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any user can create an application in the Pushover web interface, its just a random number that messages can come from and users can subscribe to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some info can be gleaned from reading their API docs here. https:\/\/pushover.net\/api\/client#register<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pushover is a messaging system that is easy for programmers and manufacturers to implement but not so easy to setup and manage, mostly due to the lack of documentation.
