Platypush: A Powerful Browser Extension for Interacting with Platypush Instances
Platypush is a web extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by allowing you to interact with Platypush instances directly from your browser. Developed by Fabio Manganiello, this free and versatile extension offers a range of features to streamline your daily tasks.
With Platypush, you can easily run Platypush actions on any host directly from your toolbar or browser menu. Whether you want to control your lights, media, assistant, or smart home devices, all it takes is a simple click. This convenient accessibility makes managing your connected devices effortless.
In addition to its control capabilities, Platypush also serves as a valuable debugging and exploration tool. You can use it to analyze and explore Platypush actions, gaining deeper insights into their functionality and performance.
What sets Platypush apart is its ability to create custom JavaScript actions, enabling seamless integration with your browser. By leveraging both the Platypush API and the browser Web Extension API, you can easily bridge the gap between the two worlds. This means you can simplify web pages, play videos on Chromecast or Kodi, whitelist or block domains, send pages to your Kindle, and much more.
Furthermore, Platypush allows you to attach custom JavaScript hooks that will trigger in your browser when specific Platypush events occur. Stay informed about media being played on your device or receive notifications when the temperature or humidity in a room exceeds certain thresholds. This level of customization ensures that you never miss important updates or events.
