What exactly is PokeAlarm?

PokeAlarm is a lightweight webserver designed to receive POST requests from your local PokemonGo-Map server. It sorts through these requests, letting you know through your favorite service something has happend. It might be a tweet when a rare pokemon spawning down the street, a Telegram message letting you know a lured pokestop only a few minutes away, or else a Pushbullet notification letting you know your teams gym has fallen.

FAQ

Which version of PokemonGo-Map do I need?

• Use the develop branch. Most work in PokemonGo-Map is being done there. They do not currently have a master. PokeAlarm is a webhook - an extension of PokemonGo-Map. We can update PokeAlarm without affecting your PokemonGo-Map installation, or vice-versa.

Will you be adding support for XYZ?

• Please make a request in the NEW/UPCOMING SERVICE MEGA-THREAD. New standalone issue tickets will be closed without notice.

Man I wish this could do XYZ!

• Open an issue on github and fill out the appropriate issue template and we'll look into it.

I am receiving XYZ error from PokemonGo-Map! What do I do?

• Visit our Discord channel, Checkout the PokemonGo-Map Wiki or the reddit thread to see if anyone has any suggestions for you.

I am receiving an error about JSON input from PokeAlarm (e.g., "expecting delimiter"). What gives?

• If you are a Windows user, stop using notepad and start using Notepad++. Make a fresh copy of the alarms.json and remake your changes. If you aren't a Windows user (or you are already using Notepad++) check your JSON format with a JSON formatter for issues (jsoneditoronline.org is an excellent site to start.)

Can I run multiple simultaneous alarms services?

• Yes. You may configure as few or as many simultaneous alarm services in alarms.json like Twitter, Slack and Telegram. For example, you can post to 2 Twitter accounts, 3 Slack channels and have a Twilio SMS service running from one alarms.json configuration. Visit the Alarm Configuation wiki for more details.

Alternatively, you can run PokemonGo-Map with multiple webhooks and have multiple instances of PokeAlarm, each assigned to a different http://<host>:<port>, e.g., http://127.0.0.1:4000, http://127.0.0.1:4001, http://127.0.0.1:4002.

I'm having issues with setting a location, it is not showing distance, maps are not showing up, walking directions, etc.

• These errors are Google Maps API related. Ensure you have an API key with all the necssary APIs enabled. Visit the Google Maps API Key wiki for more details.
