@gzahar Thanks! I knew it was out there. I just couldn't find it. But the doc you referenced doesn't define the ${alert.event} system variable. I have searched the wiki with ctrl-f but don't see it anywhere either. Do you know where it is defined so I can see if there are other event types?

I looked in the UD Mobile wiki but didn't see any documentation. I'm looking for a list of the system variables that are defined for use in custom notifications. See screen shot for a few examples: things like ${sys.node.#.name} and ${alert.date}. Is there a complete list? And what is the node # for ${sys.node.#.name}? I use this notification below for geofence info and it comes through to my iPhone as: "node[#]".

@Javi I sent you via private message a copy of my wife's iPhone backup file. Her phone continues to be sporadic in reporting her location to the geofence. After I rebooted her phone the other day, it worked the first couple times and then quit. Yesterday, I did a hard reboot of her phone. It worked the first couple times and then quit again. Today I did a reset of her Location & Privacy services and re=enabled UD Mobile to Always for location services. It will probably work once or twice and quit but we'll see.

@gzahar you are correct! When I filled in the missing message numbers with spares (see screen shot), everything worked again. I marked your message as the solution but this is really something that UD should fix. Give us a button on that customization page that renumbers when we delete something.

I'm not sure of the best way to do this. I just posted a topic to the Notifications Node Server/Plugin forum about all my custom messages no longer being selectable in a program. Existing programs that have a non-zero message id selected still get the proper message when the code runs but I cannot change any content. I only see message id 0 available. Here's a link to the other thread.

I just did that. Still doesn't work.

This is the list of Email/Notifications I currently have. I deleted a few. Does that matter that they're not in order of 1, 2, 3, etc.?

This has been working up until maybe an hour ago. I can no longer select the custom message from the Email/Notifications Customizations. Here is the code below. Both notifications (one sent to Pushover and the other UD Mobile) have selected message ID 9 to send. If I run the code, it works. But see the screen shots and you'll see that message ID 0 is the only thing I can now pick from. What happened? Front Door Lights ON - [ID 000F][Parent 0001] If From Sunset To 11:59:00PM (same day) And 'Motion-Sensor' is switched On Then Set 'Front Porch Lights' On // This is a Message sent to Pushover with an Email/Notifications Customized message. Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover UDEISYPO' Send Sys Custom With Params To KBM_iPhone Priority=Normal Format=None Sound=Pushover (default) Retry=30 Expire=60 Content 9 Notification ID (ID=9) // This is a Message sent to UD Mobile Set 'Notification Controller / UD Mobile' Send Message To Kent Sound 'default' Content 9 Notification ID (ID=9) Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

@Jimbo.Automates Jim I understand that. But I have been digging into this so much, I'm trying to understand the various methods of getting a message out so that I might help others. In the end, I'll pick one method and stick with that. Thanks.

@tlightne we're talking two different things. I'm talking about the short messages that appear for the Push plugin defined devices. I think you're talking about the Pushover node within the Notification plugin. And yes, I see the custom messages there.

All my INSTEON environment is made up of dual band devices. Can I dump my old 2443 Access Points?

@tlightne I defined a test message as you said. See screen shot 1. Test Message is not in the list of short messages. See screen shot 2. I did save it. Do your custom messages show up in this dropdown in your programs?

I looked in the UD Mobile wiki for the answer to this but didn't see it. I know I can ADD an Enter and/or EXIT comment for UD Mobile geofence that will run an AC defined program. There are 3 parameters: Node: which is the program name Command: Enabled appears to be the default Enabled: True appears to the be the default For Command: The options are Enabled, Run at Startup, Run If, Run Then, Run Else, & Stop. I assume these all directly correspond to their right click counterparts in the AC and that Enabled means the program will run if executed. Correct? Is there a good example of why I'd choose something other than Enabled? For Enabled: Is this different than the Enabled under Command? It's a bit confusing. Thanks.

Not sure if this is the right forum to ask or not but I have 2 old 2456S3 ApplianceLinc devices. I don't think they're dual band. Is that right? And if not, I can't see why I shouldn't just toss them. Thoughts?

Can the prefedined messages be added to or customized by entering a key in the configuration section of the plugin?

@DennisC Ok thanks. Thought it was worth asking. Texting is dead from with Eisy. I'll use Notifications and/or Pushover.

Not to open a can of worms but... I am working on my Notifications for Dummies. I think I have the Notification plugin figured out - at least enough to make it usable. I think I have Pushover figured out and how to link it to the Notification plugin. But I have come full circle back to an SMS text notification. If I send an email to xxxxxxxxxx@tmomail.net (xxxxxxxxx is replaced by my phone number), it comes through to my iPhone every time. But from the AC pressing the Test button or from a program it never comes through. Especially with using the Test button and getting nothing, doesn't that suggest the problem is on the UD side?

Ok so the work-around is use the Send Sys Custom with Params command (highlighted in bold below.) This works where the Send Sys Custom command does not. Notification OnOff-9.1 On-Off Module - [ID 0017][Parent 0001] If 'Office / OnOff-9.1 On-Off Module' Status is On Then Set 'Office / OnOff-9.1 On-Off Module' Beep Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover UDEISYPO' Device KBM_iPhone Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover UDEISYPO' Send Sys Custom With Params To KBM_iPhone Priority=Normal Format=None Sound=Pushover (default) Retry=30 Expire=60 Content 4 Notification ID (ID=4) Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover UDEISYPO' Message Test2 Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover UDEISYPO' Send Message Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

@Jimbo.Automates any ideas on the False/error status?

@dbwarner5 my wife is headed out again this morning. If the geofence works again, I'll mark this as the solution. As a side comment, pretty impressive Home Automation Roadmap!!

Send the support mailbox an email 4 days ago. No response. Sent another one this morning. This may be dead.

So today, both the exit and enter events worked on the geofence for my wife's phone. What was different today over last night? The thing I did this morning was reboot her phone. I guess the moderators can close this thread and I'll just keep watching this for a while. Thanks for all the support here.

@Javiunfortunately neither of those is the case here. I have triple checked that location services for UD Mobile are set to Always and the fence is enabled. My wife just went out a few minutes ago. I'll see what happens this morning and report back. Thanks.

More on Q3 above: When I press the Send Sys Custom button, the last status goes to False and the device has a red ! on it in the AC. What is it hiccuping on?

Is there a way to clear the Geofence log? I just looked at the log on my wife's iPhone and there are no errors. But the last entry was at 10:08:17a yesterday. We went out last night which my phone records but not hers.
