Tutorial How it works

The aim of this app is to receive important push-messages on your smartphone or tablet from software running on an internet connected computer, e.g. Repetier-Server or Repetier-Host.

The software sents all messages to defined groups. All members of a group receive the same message, so that you can receive your the messages on your smartphone and on your tablet. Your App can be a member of multiple groups.

A group is a uniquely named id, which is shared between the sender and one or more receivers. In the software, that sends the message, the corresponding group must be specified.

Generate a new group


Add to existing group


Troubleshooting

If you get the error "Unknown devide" when generating a new group or adding to an existing group, please uninstall the app completely and reinstall it. The device ID is generated once during installation.

Connect with sending software

Repetier-Host

Each program, that supports the Repetier Informer API, can be used to send messages. Here is an example how to connect with Repetier-Host:
 
  1. Run your Repetier-Host
  2. Go to Config → Preferences → Push-Messages
  3. Mark "Activate Push-Messages"
  4. Enter your Host Name. This gets added to the title of the send messages.
  5. Enter your group id you created here as Informer-Group.
  6. Click on the test button to send a push-message to all members of the group.
For other programs it will be similar.

Repetier-Server

Repetier-Server supports Repetier-Informer app since version 0.50.
 
  1. Run your Repetier-Server
  2. Go to Global Settings → Push-Messages
  3. Set "Activate Push-Messages" to on.
  4. Enter your group id you created here as Informer Group.
  5. Click on the test button to send a push-message to all members of the group.
