Hi Pako,
You have made several new versions recently. Have you worked on improving the reliability of receiving pushes in Eventghost from external sources in any of the updates?
if not, I will not update as I don't need the new features.
But I sure would like to have better receiving of Pushes in Eventghost from external devices. Currently, upon start of Eventghost it works most of the time, but after a certain time it stops working altogether and it is no longer possible to get events in Eventghost when sending pushes from pushbullet on iphone or from Samsung Android tablet.
The other way around is no problem, i.e. all messages from Eventghost are sent reliably via Pusbullet to the iphone and tablet.
I have meanwhile 'solved' it by replacing the communication from external devices to Eventghost by using the email-plugin (ALSO a Pako product
), but this is slower as the checking of email is done every minute, while I think Pushes are faster.

I have been testing for several days version 0.0.25.
Try it out please!
Now I've tried it and no problem occurred.
I created a new blank configuration and I added PushBullet plugin.
The configuration dialog is opened.
I put the API key.
I confirmed with the OK button.
Everything works as expected.
At what point it stopped working for you?
Pako
The bolded step is where it stopped working. It froze EventGhost for me :/ After redownloading and redoing the whole package, with the 0.0.25 update, I tried re-installing the whole plugin and it stops working at the same point. It may be my computer as it does have issues :/
It would help my homemade security system I'm setting up just for fun too. That way I'd have a definite way to communicate with my pc to turn on and off the alarm remotely... Ah well I guess this guy can wait

Which EventGhost version do you have?
It must be r1669 (or later).

Lol that's the problem. Thank you for sticking thru with me XD
EDIT*** After installing the latest version your Pushbullet plugin works! With the exception of I can't recieve pushes from EventGhost for some reason. It receives them though and that's ok for me atm. Thank you
EDIT EDIT*** Doing all this when you're pretty much asleep calls for some errors. It wasn't sending anything over Pushbullet because I was using that aspect of the plugin wrong lol It's all working fine now
Maybe I'll make a video showing what I'm doing with it

The creators PushBullet surprised us again and released a new feature:
Quick-Reply from PC now works even with the stock SMS application !
Also, I made some changes and this time quite essential.
WebSocket client has so far been implemented using
Tornado library.
This proved to be problematic.
Therefore, starting with a new version of the plugin (0.1.0),
the WebSocket client is implemented using another library -
websocket-client.
This unfortunately brings some complications during upgrade.
However, it is worth it, because it seems that it is much more reliable.
Another change is the improved
Quick-Reply dialog:

Great news Pako!
I will be testing this out in the weekend.
I hope that the reliability of transfer of communication from phone to pc is better so I can get rid of the email plug in (which is also proving to be unreliable).

Great application ! Does anyone know if its possible to write a .bat file that automaticlly can notify a device (iphone) with a note or a file? In other words, running the .bat file automates it. I would really appreciate an example here of how that .bat file can look like. Today, I have to manually right-click a file and choose "Pushbullet" and choose device. Or in the application itself do the commands, I'm using WIndows 7 and would like to do the notification towards a second device (iphone).
Now I have, what I think, everything installed on my PC. Eventghost, on right half of screen it says: Autostart Plugin: PushBullet PushBullet: Push: note to "iPhone"
But I still dont understand how to create a bat.file that automaticlly trigger Eventghost to send a note to my Iphone. Tried following script in bat-file. "start C:\EventGhost\EventGhost.exe -event Autostart"
EventGhost starts but doesnt Execute the tasks under "Autostart"
If I instead manually press "Execute" at Autostart in Eventghost, its pushed a note to my iphone but I want it to be triggered automaticly via the bat file... please help

How to execute the bat file (what should be the impetus for it)?

The bat-file shall trigger the event/macro in Eventghost which in turn fire a note to my iphone via the Pushbullet plugin.
The script in bat-file I tried is:
start C:\EventGhost\EventGhost.exe -event Autostart

When it should be automatic, must be any stimulus for it.
#1) I do not understand why you need a bat file?
#2) You can not to use the Autostart (it runs only once, automatically at startup EventGhost)
#3) You need a separate macro, outside Autostart

Pls check my comments below
Stimuli that trigger Eventghost could be bat-file, folder change, or anything that can be accomplished automaticly without manual effort.
#1) I do not understand why you need a bat file?
I dont want manually press execute in Eventghost. I need a "trigger" from outside, therefore the use of bat-file.
#2) You can not to use the Autostart (it runs only once, automatically at startup EventGhost)
No. the Push event under Autostart doesnt run Automatically at startup of some reason. Only when I press Execute manually in the program
#3) You need a separate macro, outside Autostart
Do you mean a seperate folder outside the Autostart folder but still in the Eventghost application?

That does not
automatically ! However, it is possible ...

Macros in EventGhost can be triggered by many kinds "from outside".
That's why I always ask what should be a stimulus to run.

Note, that after running EventGhost takes a while "PushBullet client" is ready to work. Probably for this reason it will not work.

Of course.

Lets say a folder change can make EventGhost to fire a note to my iPhone. How should that be accomplished?
I understand a bat-file is not possible then (?)

I dont think thats the reason. I have attached a screenshot of the folder view. Maybe you see any error here?
