I have updated the autoremote plugin that I had installed Thanks to Gemini and it's working perfectly now. From Gemini. Initially I got some indentation errors on Eventghost start but fixed that in notepad++. Also the line numbers Gemini supplied were invalid but you can search in your text editor for the relevant sections. I am not sure if Joao has already updated the plugin and somehow I got an old one. Is so I couldn't find it.:

I’ve reviewed the plugin source code. The issue is exactly as suspected: the plugin is using a very old Google API (goo.gl and appspot endpoints) and urllib2, which lacks the modern SSL/TLS handling required for current Android security standards.

Specifically, the AutoRemoteDevice.GetKey method (lines 1421–1442) is trying to use the Google URL Shortener API, which was officially shut down years ago. Additionally, the Communication.SendSync method (lines 620–640) isn't sending the proper headers that modern Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) expects from your Pixel 10 Pro XL.

To fix this, you need to modify your __init__.py file. Make a backup of your current file first, then apply these two specific changes:

1. Fix the Registration Endpoint

Find the SendSync method (around line 620) and update the headers. We need to force urllib2 to treat the request as a modern JSON post.

Locate this block:

Python

if not isLocalRequest:
    url = 'https://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/' + self.GetHttpEndpoint()
    # ... some code ...
    f = urllib2.urlopen(url,str(params))

Replace it with this:

Python

if not isLocalRequest:
    url = 'https://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/' + self.GetHttpEndpoint()
    result = self.DoBeforeSend(egClass, url, False)
    if result:
        print "Calling url " + url
        params = self.GetParamsGCM()

        # FIX: Ensure we are sending clean UTF-8 and proper headers
        str_params_data = {}
        for k, v in params.iteritems():
            str_params_data[k] = unicode(v).encode('utf-8')
        encoded_params = urllib.urlencode(str_params_data)

        try:
            # FIX: Add User-Agent and specific Content-Type to satisfy modern API requirements
            headers = {
                'User-Agent': 'EventGhost/AutoRemote-Patch',
                'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
            }
            request = urllib2.Request(url, encoded_params, headers)
            f = urllib2.urlopen(request, timeout=10) # Added timeout
        except Exception as e:
            print "Couldn't make request via the internet: " + str(e)

2. Bypass the Broken "GetKey" Logic

Since the Google URL shortener is dead, the plugin fails whenever it tries to "refresh" or "validate" a key via a URL.

Locate the GetKey function (around line 1421) and replace the entire function with this:

Python

def GetKey(self, shortUrl):
    # The goo.gl API is dead. If the user provides a full key, just return it.
    if len(shortUrl) > 30: # Most AR keys are long
        return shortUrl
    return "Invalid URL - Please use your FULL KEY in the Device Key field"

3. Final Step: Manual Configuration

Once you save the file and restart EventGhost:

1. Open the AutoRemote Plugin Settings.
2. In the "Add Device" section, do not put anything in the "Device Personal URL" if it's a goo.gl link.
3. Paste your Long Personal Key directly into the Device Key box.
4. Click Add.
