This ran perfectly fine for about a year. Then stopped sending info. I think either pushbullet needed me to log back in again, api key went away or the fingerprint changed on the cert for the site. Either way its been down for a couple years.

Now i have google minis in the house. thinking i should open back up the code and see if i can get a response sent to the google mini. Too many unfinished projects though.

Just waned to give a long term status update. I think this is fine as is, if i just reset the API for pusbullet should work again. Would be nice if i didn't have to deal with a cloud based service though. with all this home automation stuff there is too much reliance on cloud connections. something changes and you have to reconfigure everything.

Same issue with my sonoff switches. seemed like every couple months if i did not log back in it would stop working. and i would have to reset everything. So i gave up. Have synology server now so maybe home assistant can help localize some things. time to look into direct messages to google home devices.
