PiPup - Android TV app for notifications

Hey Folks,

I just release an new updated version, with the fixes for the TLC TVs, please check it out and share your feedbacks

@mhoogenbosch thank you for sharing you repo again, this update would never see the world with your codebase, thank you!

I reworked some other things and packed the apk itself, it would work little bit better for the devices with the small amount of ram.

Best,
Alex

@alex-savin is your version feature/function equal for both server and client? Is only the APK updated (I dont see a new release on git)?

I noticed two pretty big differences (I set them both up within 48 hrs of each other)…

  1. @mhoogenbosch version did not ask for a token, while yours requires it (even though yours says it is optional, config_flow would not complete without entering a token).

  2. the send commands are different… his code = pipup.show ; your code = pipup.send

  3. in @mhoogenbosch version I also show a lot more sensors in the entities

@mhoogenbosch any idea why pipup.send is not sending for me?

We have different implementations. They are not cross supported!

that is unfortunate… would make fixes and improvement easier to support/test and contribute to (I code a little)

Yes, but we basically did the same thing at the same time I guess, @alex-savin makes things easier by publishing to Playstore, probably his integration get’s better traction, for me it works great.

I tested your code on my TCL tv, and works too. Do you get an error? Have you tried actively starting the app on the TV, you then get a ‘blue screen’ showing pipup.

TCL in my experience has low available memory and an aggressive process killer. It pushes the process to the background and freezes it. I made sure the app doesn’t crash anymore after resuming, but am running an HA automation to check if the app has been freezed and unfreeze it.

Your code is fine btw
