[Announce] N900 Notifier

This isn't fully featured just yet, but I plan to develop it further and hopefully get assistance and feedback from the community!

It's basically like android-notifier but for our Maemo powered N900s!

(It's written in Python and the client is developed on/for Ubuntu) Sorry if that restricts the user base, but that's what I'm using! I will be making a generic Linux client (same one, but not relying on Ubuntu stuff) and a Windows client. This will be some time in the future.

Edit: Ubuntu, Mac OS X and Windows versions now available!

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier

It shows notifications of incoming calls and SMS messages on your computer's desktop. Useful if you keep your phone in your pocket or somewhere else.

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier

I've been using it all day. It works perfectly for me. Have only tested texts though.

I guess it would be nice to make an attractive icon to go next to the message. (I would ask for the contact's image but that would be far too much effort)

I actually began working on this and managed to display a notification with the phone number that was calling using SSH, dbus-monitor and some bash trickery.

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier

N900 Notifier is a simple application to display notifications of incoming SMS and Calls on your computer. It is similar to android-notifier. The client runs on N900 devices (Maemo) and the server component runs on Ubuntu.

argh cant we make this for windows ?

Run the server.py file using:

Code:

python server.py

You then need to copy the client.py script to your N900, and run it using

Code:

python client.py

Don't forget to open the script files and change the HOSTNAME according to your needs.

A nice GUI and package is on the way, but for now, this is probably just for testing.

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier

Anyone know if there is a similar app for Symbian? My evil little brain is thinking thoughts of installing it on a symbian phone and getting notifications on the N900 when that person receives a txt/call and who from... bit of backwards modding needed but great for certain underhand tactics.;)

Of course, I have to say that you should only do what you suggest with your own phones! ;)

Thanks b0unc3, your work on the phonebook stuff has been great, so I have every faith that you'll be able to figure this out :D

I saw that feature shortly after posting the comment. Absolutely no problems with it.

@b0unc3

Thanks a lot. I would assist but it's also my first time with Python and college work has really caught up to me.

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier

I'd like to announce version 0.3 which now adds Mac OS X support with notifications being provided by Growl.

Users need the growlnotify package, available from "Extras" inside the Growl installer DMG.

If anyone has any problems, please feel free to let me know. :D

Also: Although I don't use it myself, and would like to avoid having to do so ;) Windows support is coming VERY soon!

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier

Hmm, I can keep getting an error, any ideas? :)

Code:

mohammad@mohammad-i5laptop:~/Downloads$ python server.py 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "server.py", line 73, in <module>

    server = SocketServer.TCPServer((HOST, PORT), MyTCPHandler)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/SocketServer.py", line 402, in __init__

    self.server_bind()

    self.socket.bind(self.server_address)

  File "<string>", line 1, in bind

socket.error: [Errno 99] Cannot assign requested address

Nevermind, had to put my PC's IP instead of the N900's.

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier

I don't know if it's the massive amount of caffeine I've had today but I released 0.3 too quickly, and it should have had the Windows code I've been working on.

With that in mind, go grab the latest 0.4 and enjoy support for Ubuntu, OS X and now Windows! (The Windows bit hasn't been thoroughly tested, so feedback is appreciated!)

Thanks everyone! :D

Hopefully you will be able to install from there and get this working.

Note that I won't be offering any support for getting this working on Windows, however other users may be able to help you out if need be. :)

2010-10-31 19:11

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier

Yes i got it working on windows, what i did was adding growl to the environment path to get growlnotify to work in cmd, then I tested and notice the growlnotify command in the script was wrong.

Its not suppose to be /switch argument but /switch:argument in windows.

I changed it to :

Quote:

command = "growlnotify \"" + self.data + "\" /t:n900 /i:http://www.antezz.com/files/images/png/n900"

Yes, i have to fix the image just got to lazy to do it at moment lol.

Edit: fixed command, apprently windows version of growl didnt like the ' in it so i used " instead and escaped them with \ so its all working nicley now.

Hi guys, nice app!

I'm trying the best way to starting/stopping after network connection/disconnection. Moreover it would be nice to send messages to multiple IPs : home, work, etc.

I don't need growl since I'm runing on debian/ubuntu. Plus I prefer to to not open ports from wan on the firewall.

Re: [Announce] N900 Notifier

I tried with these up/down scripts for automatic run/stop:

N900:/etc/network# cat if-pre-up.d/00_notifier_up
#!/bin/sh

MYIP=`ifconfig -a wlan0 | grep "inet addr" | sed 's/inet addr://g' | awk '{print $1}'`

if [ "$MYIP" == "192.168.0.5" ]
then su user -c /home/user/bin/notifier_client_home.py &
else su user -c /home/user/bin/notifier_client_work.py &
fi

N900:/etc/network# cat if-post-down.d/00_notifier_down
#!/bin/sh

PIDS=`ps | grep "notifier_client" | grep "/home/user/bin" | awk '{ORS=" ";print $1}'`
for i in $PIDS ; do kill -9 $i ; done

N900:/etc/network#

these work fine when executed in terminal but dont work automatically on network connection/disconnection :(

It means that the variable HOST has not be set. Have you got the latest client.py and did you put the desktop pc ip address in?

Code:

HOST, PORT = "192.168.0.1", 50007

Yeah I did, I changed it in the place where it was marked.

Server.py

# Change this to your computer's hostname
# We might do this automatically in the future!
HOST, PORT = "192.168.0.1", 50007

I changed it to this:

# Myhostname# We might do this automatically in the future!
HOST, PORT = "192.168.0.2", 50007

And i changed the port to my static ip to which i have forwarded the port.

client.py

# CHANGE THE HOSTNAME TO THE HOSTNAME OR IP OF THE PC RUNNING THE SERVER COMPONENT
HOST, PORT = "192.168.0.1", 50007

changed it to:

# Myhostname, PORT = "192.168.0.2", 50007

Windows XP working example.

@badboyuk
That looks strange, line 85? client.py is only around 68 lines.
Try use a clean/original client.py file then change the IP to your desktop/servers internal IP.

After that you just take the server.py also change the IP to your internal IP in my case it was "192.168.0.199" then you go to line 62 and replace it with the line i posted previous, or you can change it however you want it to be formated. Thats pretty much it if you want to have "custom names" showed up on some numbers then you add them "numbers" varibel in the client.py just like the examples.

That line should read:

Code:

HOST, PORT = "192.168.0.2", 50007

Putting a # in front of any line, comments the line out and would explain why the script would not work.
