The recent 707 update added Pushover notification service support, which is a great addition, but I would love to see Pushbullet support since it support a much wider range of devices and browser extensions.
Thanks!
Support for the fantastic Join API would also be a welcome addition.

Just checked this out and it looks promising. If I hadn’t already invested $5 in pushover, I probably would have tried to make this work as well. I used his autoapps with tasker a while back and love his work. Didn’t realize he took over the entire Tasker project now as well.
I got a 30 day trial of the Join API and like the fact that I can choose my own status bar icons and can have have the notification open a webpage (Cloud dashboard) so I just threw this together. I’m not sure I will switch to this app (another 5 bucks is steep for an icon) but I thought I’d share what I made. If someone is really interested they could easily expand and adapt it to include more functionality. This is based off the Pushover driver that @ogiewon and I built previously.

Wow! That’s crazy quick 
Thanks for sharing this!
I have found Join to be very reliable and actively developed. In fact, the shared clipboard, file sharing and notification push are the features I use the most. Further, the possibility of interacting with notifications remotely, comes in handy quite often.

Yeah, it seems to be really powerful and I’m sure the direct integration with Tasker makes it infinitely more so. Kinda wish I didn’t already invest in Pushover.
I’m glad you did invest your time and talent into Pushover! Join does not appear to support iOS…

Lol…but not surprising as the developer works with Tasker which is one of the most powerful automation tools for android users.
Whoa I’ve been waiting for someone to make a direct integration with autoapps. I look forward to seeing g this expand.
I'm definitely late to see this, but, for me, the answer is for Sharp Tools to be ported to HE. @josh was an early HE adopter and he's said elsewhere that HE is on his roadmap.

I agree I would love to see sharptools ported as well. I believe the developer stated he had some other things going on that were higher priority atm.
For now between being able to send join notifications and I can control hubitat through my HousePanel local endpoints it gives a fair bit of functionality.
