Pushbullet service not found

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,
I’m a complete beginner only trying to set up a notification to my phone.
I understood one option is pushbullet so I created an account and activated the API key.

Wrote to my configuration file :

notify:
  - platform: pushbullet
    api_key: !secret pushbullet

then simply went to test the service in developper tool / services
in “service” i typed:
notify.pushbullet
and in service data :
{
“message”: “this is a test”
}

after multiple attemps I always get the message : (translated from french) :
fail to call service notify/pushbullet. Service not found…

I’m very stuck, wander if you clever guys had a clue.

Many thanks.
G.

Did you restart after adding the pushbullet notification config?

Hi tom_I
yes indeed, (although it’s quite frustrating to loose 3 min every time I change a word in the configuration file…)
do you think it could be the API key ? if so, will I get this sort of error message ? is there a way to test the key separately ?
Reading another thread, do you think it could be some obscur DNS settings somewhere ?

‘Service not found’ means that pushbullet was not set up correctly. Could be the API key.

hm…
I’ve tried without the secret with the same result…
The key is a direct copy paste from the site.
It looks easy on paper but when it doesn’t want …
I’ll try a different pushbullet account.
Thanks for your help

Hi all,

no success after trying with a different pushbullet account, generating a different API key, editing and restarting.
What would be the alternative, I only want to receive a notification on my android phone ?

Well there’s The official android app or any of these:

I use Telegram for actionable notifications. I set it up after reading this;
