Alerts stopped coming through

I have been using Vera Alerts for a couple years now and everything has worked very well. All the sudden about 2 weeks ago I stopped getting alerts. I went in and did the test and it comes through just fine. I tried to re register as well as got a new key for pushbulet. Anyone else having issues with this? Any help would be much appreciated.

mine is still working fine as of this morning. (VA and pushbullet)

Try to unregister and register again, that happened to me last week. If that doesn’t works (that didn’t for me) then, take note of your ID and clear the cache and all data of the app and then register again introducing your previous ID in the settings prior to registering.

Do you have a Samsung and entered to UltraPowerSaving Mode?

Many folks have had no problems … until they tried to add a new Notification, or modify one.

Then you run into the problem saving data that has been a problem in Vera for quite some time.

The latest Beta is the first time all of my test cases work …

See:
http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,40474.0.html

I have upgraded to the firmware and uploaded the file and I still do not get any alerts. It was working perfect 2 weeks ago the only thing that changed was my phone. I checked my pushbullet profile online and the notifications just stopped. Any other ideas would be very much appreciated.

Did you you check the “Notification Configuration” after installing … followed by the Vera Reload?

Email me the output of the Report command.

I’ve also started experiencing the same issue with Pushbullet this week. The last message received was Tuesday. I’ve made no changes. I tested I can send messages ok by making a curl request as per their API using the same token I had setup in Vera, I also made the curl request directly from the Vera Plus via SSH. I’ve now upgraded to the Beta to see if this makes any difference but unfortunately not.

I set debug to 1 in the advanced settings and i’ve attached the log file output from a test message. You will see the result is showing as “closed”, if I compare this to a working alert using pushover the response contains 200 (I presume the http status) and the JSON response from the API call so something definitely not right with the API call to Pushbullet.

I went in and did the same (i think) here is the log that I got.

my last message was also on Tuesday.
so i think something has changed.

@bwoods113 are you able to check the log again? your text file attachment is empty.

Same problem here… using pushbullet and messages stopped a few days ago…

Here’s the log:

Running UI5, VeraAlerts 6.43

I think they tightened the API. Previously the accepted arguments in the a URL encoded format… now they only accept JSON format … I will have to make some changes.

Will this mean I’d lose vera alert support? I would rather not update to UI7 (no one want hell break lose during x-mas :wink: )

Or would you consider backport it to a pre UI7 release?

I will do a u i5 port as well.

Thanks Richard!

just saw this, was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it stopped.

any timeline on when a new version will be available?

pushbullet said that they have not changed their API, at least not intentionally. I told them to look at this thread. And he came back with the following.

I just ran this command: curl https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes -u : -d type=“note” -d title=“A simple title” -d body=“A message” -X POST

and it worked, and that uses url encoded parameters, so I suspect it is some other issue, not the JSON request bodies.

It might be there SSL security. When doing a post to there website from LUA (We are limited to a very old version With Vera) the connection closes. Same arguments work fine in curl. This is new behavior.

It looks like SSL could be related, their SSL cert has recently been renewed as its got a valid from date of ‎01 ‎December ‎2016.

Do you think you will be able to look at this soon? It would be good to know if not so I can look at alternative solutions.

It would not be the Cert. It would be something like the set of allowed encryption connection protocols that is negotiated when a SSL link is established.
Vera uses old Linux and LUA sofware and may not have the most modern secure connection protocols.
Push Bullet may no longer accept the protocols that the the MCV Version of LUA supports. (A trade off when you try to harden the security of a website.)
curl on Vera can talk to Pushbullet, so I will likely have to make some additional code changes.
