configuration help about pythonremote HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello!
Due to lack of spare time this project has been going slow lately, but just tested it and it seems to be working.

Which platform are you using, looks like Linux of some sort? I have tested the program on Mac OsX, Ubuntu and Debian (raspbain).

Suggest adding the symlink to /usr/local/bin or, as I do it, symlink it to a script folder and adding that folder to path. Ex: export PATH=$PATH:/Users/storvik/Dropbox/scripts:$PATH.
After that you could execute pythonremote and the initial process should start.
Remember to exit the shell, or do a source .bashrc to reload the changes.

As for the ID configuration, this could be set to whatever. My Macbook is configured like:

• ID: macbookpro
• Name: Storviks Mackbook Pro
• Sender: Storvik
• Icon: mac

Then run registerdevice and register your phone/tablet, and your computer should show up in the device list in autoremote.

Another note: Sending messages from your device to the computer is only possible when on the same network. However the other way around works. For example I use it to send a message to the phone every time the server is backed up.

Hope it helps!

Thanks!
I have discovered that on my Synology NAS the PATH gets overwritten on login to shell, so I've now made the path change permanent.
Nonetheless, although the server is running, the command 'autoremoteserver help' I get the error autoremoteserver: not found

Any further ideas?

Ah, I finally get what's going on here. The readme file hasn't been updated since the name change from autoremoteserver to pythonremote.

Just type pythonremote help instead, and it should work.

I am away from server but will try tonight.
One step closer to my openhab house talking to my tasker-enabled devices...
Thanks for all your help!

No problem! Hope it works 😄

Yep, it works fine.
Thanks, I can now use command line from openhab to send messages/notifications to my android devices... :)
