What exactly is PokeAlarm?

PokeAlarm is a lightweight webserver designed to receive POST requests from your local RocketMap server. It sorts through these request and send your a message via your favorite message service. This could be either 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 a Pushbullet notification letting you know your team's gym has fallen.

FAQ

I am receiving an error about JSON input from PokeAlarm. What gives?

  • If on Windows, DON'T USE NOTEPAD. Use Notepad++ or PyCharm. Create a new alarms.json and start over. Alternatively, use jsoneditoronline.org to check for errors.

Which version of RocketMap do I need?

  • Use the develop branch of RocketMap. PokeAlarm is a webhook - an extension of RocketMap. We can update PokeAlarm without affecting your RocketMap installation (and vice-versa).

How do I request for a Service to be added to PokeAlarm?

Man I wish this could do XYZ!

  • Open an Enhancement Request on github. Do not PM us!

I am receiving XYZ error from RocketMap! What do I do?

  • Check the RocketMap Wiki or the ask in the RocketMap Discord. We will not troubleshoot your RocketMap installation.

Can I run multiple simultaneous alarms services?

  • Yes. You may configure as few or as many simultaneous alarm services in alarms.json like Twitter, Discord and Telegram. Visit the Alarm Configuation wiki for more details.

Alternatively, you can run RocketMap 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.

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