# Pushsafer Binding
The Pushsafer binding allows you to notify mobile devices of a message using the [Pushsafer API](https://www.pushsafer.com/pushapi).
To get started you first need to register (a free process) to get a Private Key.
Initially you have to register a device with one of the [client apps](https://www.pushsafer.com/apps), to get a device id.
## Supported Things
There is only one Thing available - the `pushsafer-account`.
You are able to create multiple instances of this Thing to broadcast to different devices or groups with push-notification content and setting.

## Channels
Currently the binding does not support any Channels.
## Thing Actions
All actions return a `Boolean` value to indicate if the message was sent successfully or not.
The parameter `message` is **mandatory**, the `title` parameter defaults to whatever value you defined in the `title` related configuration parameter.
- `sendPushsaferMessage(String message, @Nullable String title)` - This method is used to send a plain text message.
- `sendPushsaferHtmlMessage(String message, @Nullable String title)` - This method is used to send a HTML message.
- `sendPushsaferMonospaceMessage(String message, @Nullable String title)` - This method is used to send a monospace message.
- `sendPushsaferAttachmentMessage(String message, @Nullable String title, String attachment, @Nullable String contentType, @Nullable String authentication)` - This method is used to send a message with an image attachment. It takes a local path or URL to the image attachment (parameter `attachment` **mandatory**), an optional `contentType` to define the content-type of the attachment (default: `"jpeg"`, possible values: `"jpeg"`, `"png"`, `"gif"`) and an optional `authentication` for the given URL to define the credentials to authenticate a user if needed (default: `""`, example: `"user:password"`).
- `sendPushsaferURLMessage(String message, @Nullable String title, String url, @Nullable String urlTitle)` - This method is used to send a message with an URL. A supplementary `url` to show with the message and a `urlTitle` for the URL, otherwise just the URL is shown.
- `sendPushsaferPriorityMessage(String message, @Nullable String title, @Nullable Integer priority)` - This method is used to send a priority message. Parameter `priority` is the priority (`-2`, `-1`, `0`, `1`, `2`) to be used (default: `2`).

actions.sendPushsaferAttachmentMessage("Hello World!", "openHAB", "https://www.openhab.org/openhab-logo-square.png", "png", "user:password")
actions.sendPushsaferAttachmentMessage("Hello World!", "openHAB", "data:[<media type>][;base64],<data>", null, null)
// in case you want to send the content of an Image Item (RawType)
actions.sendPushsaferAttachmentMessage("Hello World!", "openHAB", myImageItem.state.toFullString, null, null)
