NOTE: Some users had an issue where notifications didn't appear after initial setup. If you press the "test" button and you don't get a message you may need to open the Pushbullet app, log out of Pushbullet, and then log back into Pushbullet. This seems to have corrected the issue. Contact @damian if you have problems.
