Was using Pushbullet with IFTTT to send a command to my PC via Google Nest...
No longer working, and it seems (I'm guessing here) the issue is related to the 'title' for the note.
The Pushbullet app on my phone and PC has no option for a note 'title', whereas an online tutorial for pushbullet shows the functionality was there at some point.
IFTTT simply says the pushbullet action failed. (IFTTT Pushbullet setting has a 'title' it is trying to send with the note.)
I'm using an app called Push2Run on my PC to receive the note from pushbullet, and it's connected to pushbullet and records push notes I send via either phone or pc pushbullet app. But it's also looking for a note title and since it's not getting a title isn't doing anything with the note.
I'm confused as to why the functionality doesn't seem to be there anymore for a title (and also for different types of pushes, such as address pushes).
Maybe I'm missing something basic, but it doesn't seem obvious what it is...
Yes, I've updated to the V2 Google Assistant, and I'm fairly certain that isn't the problem, or part of it... It just stopped working about a week ago, and was working fine before that with the V2 Assistant.
Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated.
Tried installing and sending pushes from app directly on phone and PC. Can send notes and Push2Run sees them, but can't figure out how to get a title into the notes.
Also tried several different settings in the IFTTT applet... all result in action failed message for Pushbullet step.
Options if IFTTT are Push a note; Push a link; Push a file; Push an address
None of those options seem available in the Pushbullet app...
In the app I can type a message, and attach a file to the message, and select the device it goes to. Presumably I can type in a link, or an address into the message and get a proximate functionality of those functions but nowhere can I find the option for a message 'title'.

So, I'm working on a azure C# web-bot (Company Communicator).
This web-bot send message in a Teams channel.
On PC and Android, when a message is sent the name of the bot is right for exemple: "My multi name app".
But on iPhone, my client send me an image where the name is "My m."
I look on and the only reference I found is https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/msteams-docs/issues/6579, but there is no solution yet.
Since the error is the same it should not be a company communicator issue but a teams issue.
I was wondering if someone knew something, maybe a specific checkbox in the AdminTeams, or on the bot configuration, that make IOs display the wrong name.
Edit : Image with some information hidden because the client use real information in a dev env.
It's from the general channel of a teams.
Is it possible to give Google Assistant commands programmatically? For example, I'd like to be able to send a command as text "turn on the fan" and have GA react as if that was the spoken command. I would also accept sending a JSON request in whatever format needed (with device IDs or whatever the API needs).
My situation is I have a ceiling fan that is controlled by Google Assistant. I want to be able to control it programmatically. For example, some event happens and my code wants to turn the fan on. Is there any way my code can tell GA to turn on the fan?
I tried using the Google Assistant SDK. I can send it text like "what time is it?" and get back text and audio, eg "It is 11:00am". However, I have a test device called "washer" and if I send text "is the washer running?" I get back "Sorry, I didn't understand". If I speak the words into my phone, I get back "The washer is running".
Why can't the GA SDK interact with my device? The credentials I give to the GA SDK are the same I use for my SmartHomeApp that defines the "washer" device.
To do this, you can setup up a virtual Assistant device and then send commands to it.
Check out Assistant Relay, which is a service that sets up a virtual Assistant device and exposes a REST API so you can send text commands to it, as if they were spoken.
Per the Documentation:
Simply send Assistant Relay any query you would normally send Google
Assistant, and Assistant Relay will call the Assistant SDK an execute
your command.
Per the problem you are having with the Google Assistant SDK, I believe what you are trying to achieve is only possible with a device, be it physical or virtual and not by using the SDK directly.
There are a lot of firewall and security issues allowing each smart device to to connect to the Internet. To alleviate this problem, Google's design methodology uses a fulfillment device as a bridge to connect to the device locally from one of their devices.
You are locally, on your smartphone, hooking into Google Assistant.
The phone is the fulfillment glue for the "washer" device.
According to this page:
Google Home or Google Nest device is required to perform the
fulfillment.
Due to the portable nature of cell phones, it does not make sense to allow one to be used as the fulfillment device remotely, hence the local hook.
I am new to the whole creation-process of Google Actions.
I created an Action with the new Action Console.
It has an fulfillment endpoint to my server (as example: www.mypage.com/api).
For testing purposes it has no authentification, so it generates a public API response.
Said API generates a simple JSON response based on a send event handler.
In short: Action onEnter sends handler to API, API queries SQL database and sends the response back to my Google Action that then "speaks" the SQL result.
The result with the Actions Console Simulator is:
Testing with "Smart Display device: everything works.
Testing with "Speaker (e.g. Google Home): everything works.
Testing with "Phone": main intent is invoked and text is shown but does not get spoken.
So i tested the command "Hey Google, talk to the unicorn app" directly on my smartphone.
Here **everything works fine ** as said smartphone has the same e-mail like the one on my Action Console account: it recognizes the main invocation command and when i ask by voice to get the data, the data is received from my server and spoken.
So something is wrong with the "Phone" device in the simulator. This has been confirmed by me from other users saying that they often have trouble with the simulator function correctly.
I then deployed my Action.
It was reviewed and approved.
A few seconds later i received an auto-email saying that there were too many errors with my app, asking me to check its health status. I did so and in the Health tab, i can see that it has an error but it does not show me what the error is.
THEN I CONTACTED A ACTIONS-ON-GOOGLE EXPERT
They helped me a lot into the right direction but could not go deeper into the problem as my connection (the endpoint API) is outside of their servers.
So i ended with their tip on checking the Google Cloud Logging Console.
As said Logging Console is also new for me, i learned on how to query my results but:
How can i query for the so called "is_health_check" flag?
I am asking this because the Google Expert recommended me to search for said flag but i do not know on how to query it.
Sorry for this ultra-long entry but i am trying to be as transparent to you as possible, as i have been trying this out for several days now.
Thanks in advance for your time, ppl!
So the error is simple once that you know how Google handles the external webhooks. Thanks to the help of 2 Actions-On-Google Experts i was informed that Google pings your external Webhook from time to time.
As soon as they get an error as result from said ping, the Action will be deactivated from the Assistant until a new ping response sends that everything is fine again.
My problem was that after deploying the action and while it was under reviews, i continued to work on the code on my server. While coding, the Google server pinged and received an error code.
My fault, but at least i learned the thing about pinging your action!
I have followed this link below to configure my own React App using IFTTT and ThingHttp, the unfortunate part i want to receive an email notification. Currently my channels only show last Ran on all React App and non of email notification are sent to me. What could be an issue to my configuration and stuck now?
https://www.elecfreaks.com/store/blog/how-to-send-temperature-threshold-value-alarm-email-via-ifttt.html
I made some relook and found out that problem was on my side. Meaning the naming conversion was on the lower case instead of Upper Case. E.g temp_critical(name of my webhook and reactapp) instead of Temp_Critical(name of my webhook and email/reactapp, thinghttp). I was able to get an notification if my temperature was critical.
I am implementing a XMPP client for my iPhone App, I ahve completed all the things in (Chatting with other users , showing presence of other users , etc.)
But the one thing for which I am stuck is that , I am unable to get the new user registered from my App. I am using following snippet,
if ([appDelegate.xmppStream supportsInBandRegistration])
[appDelegate.xmppStream registerWithPassword:txt_Password.text error:nil];
But for this, supportsInBandRegistration method always returns NO and the registerWithPassword: method is never called.
Please provide some help regarding the same.
What server are you using? Some servers support in-band registration even thought they don't send the correct stream:feature according to XEP-0077. Most of them should give the feature in the disco results however.
In other words, try commenting out your if ([appDelegate.xmppStream supportsInBandRegistration]) and see if it works. If so, you'll need to complain either to your library developer or to your server developer or both.
