Use pushbullet from the command line. Featuring sms [contact] [message]
Currently a work in progress — contributions welcome!
Clone this repo and rename the settings-file. Install requirements.
git clone git@github.com:j6k4m8/pybullet.git pybullet
cd pybullet
mv demo-settings.py settings.py
pip install requirements
Now edit settings.py with your own account data. Your account access token is here. Device identifiers can be found by navigating to the Pushbullet devices page and clicking on your phone: The url of that page is then:
https://www.pushbullet.com/#devices/XXXXXzzzzzzzzzzz
The XXXXX is your user_iden, the full X and z string is your device_iden.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| sms 2015555555 "hi there!" | Send a message to a phone number |
| contacts add jordan 9739039945 | Create a new contact |
| sms jordan "you're a nerd!" | Send a message to a contact |
| sms jordan and you look goofy too | No quotes needed! |
| sms jordan `ls` | Send a contact the output of a bash script! Useful! |
| contacts ls | Also contacts list or contacts l: List contacts |
| contacts ls jor | Lists all contacts that contain the string jor |
In another shell (I use tmux), run python ./stream.py. This will open your Pushbullet stream and print the contact name (red) and their message (blue). (Currently working on how to make this an interactive shell.)
contacts add adds a line to a file called .contacts. The contents are hand-editable: Simply add a name, a tab (\t) and a phonenumber. No spaces in the number. If you get a no such file error when running contacts for the first time, simply touch .contacts and you're good to go.
Pull-requests welcome! Bug reports (via the Issues page) also welcome.
