Image support on Pushover 3.0

[jonferreira]

Hi,
Any plans to include image attachments support added on 3.0?

Should be a case of adding an image in multipart/form-data

Yeah the main goal is to stay in-line with the API - no ETA though.

I've been trying to get this to work without relying on an external library. I have the multipart POST working, but have not been able to get the image to properly display. It is being sent, message properly displayed and the image detected - but it renders as a placeholder. You can see what I have here - it's a distillation of work in my MIT licensed project.

That does happen to me as well once in a while. Could be working perfectly for a week and then one day I just see the placeholder...

That said I have the feeling it's something on the app itself (android here). If you click on the placeholder and refresh the list do you see the image?

Also, I can send you my fully working nodes if you want

@jonferreira if you have something working, I'd love to give it a look over!

@jonferreira huge help - thank you! I wasn't setting up my Buffer correctly, so the image was getting lost. I've updated my home automation system to now send me pics.

You can see what I've got here: https://github.com/imbrianj/switchBoard/blob/master/devices/pushover/controller.js

Any news on this? Would be a big step forward!

Hi @Kev0123 / All,

I just submitted a PR implementing this functionality. See #23

Damo.

Can everyone give #24 a spin - It implements attachments without external dependencies.

Images can be attached to the object passed to send() like so:

fs.readFile('test/test_img.png', function(err, data) {
  var o = {
    name: 'pushover.png',
    data: data
  }
  var msg = {
    message: 'test from ' + process.argv[1],
    sound: 'magic',
    title: 'Image loaded async',
    file: o
  }
  p.send(msg, function (err, result, res) {
    console.log('error', err)
    console.log('result', result)
    console.log('res.headers', res.headers)
    // process.exit(0);
  })
})

OR

var msg = {
  message: 'test from ' + process.argv[1],
  sound: 'magic',
  title: 'Image loaded sync',
  file: 'test/test_img.png'
}
p.send(msg, function (err, result, res) {
  console.log('error', err)
  console.log('result', result)
  console.log('res.headers', res.headers)
  // process.exit(0);
})
