The protocol is really easy about this. when you query, it tells you how many messages are available. you can choose to fetch them or set the timestamp to the current time and ignore them. It works via a last read timestamp. no problem
hi all. for those who may be interested, i finally found a spot of time and implemented this as a custom_component.
i’ve never submitted something for hacs, and i’m trying to work through it, but i think right now it’s waiting on a pull request for the icons to be approved… but i dunno if i’m doing it all right or not. regardless, it’s super easy to install and get going in any case. holler if you have any questions or issues.

Thank you very much!
I tried to install it but get an installation error, for which I have already opened an issue:
https://github.com/armedad/pushover_listener/issues/1
Any chance of a bug fix?
Unfortunately, after HA update to 2025.8.0 an error occurs:

I got the pushover listener working with some work arounds, documented in the github. Working great. Can this support multiple accounts? multiple users?

There is a work around see the github. I have reply to the issues.
I don’t have access to the project, so I can’t update the SW.
awesome. i’m on travel for a bit, but will take a look when i can! appreciate the help!
Can you give me access to the project so I can make corrections?

since you spoon fed the fixes, i went ahead and made those changes.
i’ve invited you as a collaborator in case you have the interest in hacking on it more.
yes, thanks for make those changes!!!
In my automation, I have saved off the pushover_event messages into a sensor.message_log as attributes. I can retieve these using Voice PE commands such as “get kevin’s last text message” or “get kevin’s last 5 text messages” It’s works well. pretty cool!!!
Hi @armedad ,
I have updated my local copy of pushover listener for multiple users.
It seems to be working well.
I have used it the last couple of days.
One interesting thing, when I didn’t supply the device parameter, it would not work.
Below is an example of my config parameters.
pushover_listener:
- email: [email protected]
password: pass1
device_name: kevinHA - email: [email protected]
password: pass2
device_name: tamreHA
How would you like me to upload the changes?

sweet!
if you don’t specify the device name it will use a default name. however pushover doesn’t like it if you register the same device name twice. if you go into your pushover account you will probably find the default name created…
push your changes up to GitHub. I’ll take a quick look and approve the push request.
Hi,
I added the updated files to the main branch. Let me know if you encounter any issues. I hope I added all OK.

The Pushover listener has been updated to address the errors you have indicted. Please try the new updates
Can Home Assistant also receive the image in my notification?
The pushover listener does not support downloading images.
The pushover Open API does not appear to support it either.
However, it may be possible that someone could use their android base app maybe to download it. But this, even if possible, would require a lot of work.
