####UPDATE #2: Thanks to Bart persoons, you can also hook up to Homey (https://www.athom.com/en/) Instructions are in UPDATE #2 below the blog post: https://www.themarketingtechnologist.co/pokemon-go-slack-notifications/
####Update #3: Languages, stability and lured Pokémon! Several updates:
Message are now available in French and German thanks to Vincent. They can be set by setting the locale. The locale that needs to be used for the emojis can be set separately with -iL
, default is English.
As we also see in the app and at Pokevision, server quite often seem to have troubles. Therefore, the script now has a reconnect features instead of stopping the script in cases of issues. From experience, it's advisable to use a Google account, since it's more stable than PTC.
And last but not least, lured Pokémon! Pokevision doesn't show these (yet), so many thanks go to the tip by Daniel.
