Kentinada

@Javi I will do that. I will clear all logs first (I think I can do that) and then create the file you asked for. Stay tuned.

@Jimbo.Automates can I make a suggestion that features that are really no longer needed (but may still be used) be moved to a section in your readme me file called OLD FEATURES or something like that? It would help new users like myself sort through what I really need to read and focus on. This is a nice plugin but I'm still trying to sort out all the pieces. If there were some I knew were old, out dated features, I could skip them entirely. Just a thought.

I have a Geofence defined within UD mobile. I have 2 devices: my iPhone (Kent) and my wife's iPhone (Nancy). I did a backup of my UD Mobile and imported it into her iPhone UD Mobile app so the geofence definition is the same. My iPhone (15 Pro Max) tracks very well to entering and exiting the geofence. My wife's iPhone 13 not so much. I've attached a screenshot from this morning. We left our house around 7:50a. My phone triggered a notification at 7:56 while my wife's not until 7:59. I can live with that. On the return home, my phone triggered at 9:40 but my wife's not till we pulled in the driveway at 9:45. Not ideal but somewhat tolerable. My wife went back out shortly thereafter and it triggered an alert at 10:08 that she had left the geofence. She returned home about 20 minutes and it never executed the ENTER geofence commands. This is not the first time it has failed to enter these for her phone. Location Services for both phones is set to ALWAYS track. Any ideas on improving this? Thanks.

@Jimbo.Automates Thanks for the responses! Is the additional ISYPortal functionality what is described as "REST Interface"? I really want to learn more about how to use that. Also, what is the best resource you know of to use the pushover.net service with your Notification plugin? Thanks!!

OK, I think we're on the home stretch in getting to really understand the Notification Node Server (or is the preferred term Plugin now?). Screenshot1 show nodes 2 and 3 that I have defined within the Notification NS/plugin. Node is the ISYPortal Service Node I created by filling in my API key from UD Mobile. It shows up in the Admin Console - see screenshot2. It, and the UD Mobile node are listed under the Notification Controller Device. Q1: Is the ISYPortal Service Node even necessary? Or can I just use the UD Mobile node and custom messages from Configuration/Emails/Notficiations/Customizations? If it is necessary, where/how is it used? Q2: From screenshot2, the Device is set to group Kent which is great. The Message is 0 because I don't have any predefined messages from the Configuration tab of the Notification plugin. (I had a couple test messages there but deleted them because the instructions say that is not the best way to do that anymore.). I can't see any reason I'd send a message from this screen with the "Send Message" button at the bottom. Is that correct? Is there a reason other than testing that I use it here? Q3: When I press the "System Custom Content" button, no message is generated. But if I push the "Send Sys Custom With Params" button, I get the UD Test Message showing up under Notifications in UD Mobile. Why does "System Custom Content" not send a message? Let's start with these. I'm trying to gather enough helpful info to put in a "Notifications for Dummies" kind of doc to share. Thanks!

@Javi you must have been right about the things not being saved. I tried it again but made sure everything was saved first and I got the right message. Thanks. One step closer.

This can be closed. Was due to the network outage earlier today. Thanks.

A reboot got me back online. Thanks.

I am still offline. Do I need to reboot to get back online or should I go online automatically?

@jkmcfadden I wonder if the upgrade part is the common factor?

Me too. My Eisy went offline at 7:43a ET this morning.

@jkmcfadden and @Whitehambone OMG, thanks. I thought I was losing my mind and couldn't figure out what I did to mess this up.

I was trying to set up a notification through the UD Mobile app this morning and I got these Notifications (See attached). I did not request an upgrade so I don't know why it happened or what was upgraded. My Eisy will now not come online. I can still log into the admin console and turn on/off devices but UD Mobile and the ISY Portal think it's offline. I have completely rebooted more than once by removing the power and plugging in again. My Eisy is plugged into an ethernet switch. I have also moved it to a different port on the switch. Help please.

I tried to create a notification per the YouTube video (which I had done previously and deleted) but now I get an error when I press the + button. See attached screenshot. It also happens when I select Linked Programs from the device setup menu. Ideas?

I'm not sure I totally got that @Javi. Here is what I have. The 1st screenshot is the statement that runs in the Then clause of my program. Notice the Group is Kent which is right. The Content is UD Test Message. I added UD Test Message to the Email Custimizations as you indicated in your previous response. Screen shot 2 shows the definition of UD Test Message. When I run the Then clause on my test program, I get a notification that says: My Test Title/My Test Body/Date & Time. It does not send my UD Test Message. I looked around and found this message in Configuration/Networking/Network Resources as Example Push Notification. Just to verify this is what was being sent, I changed the code to what you see in screenshot 3. Sure enough, when I run the program again, it now says Kent Test Title/Kent Test Message/Date & Time. What did I miss?

I deleted and reinstalled and the error went away.

I have done this and it works. But I'm trying to keep the Admin Console as the central place where I define my automation. If I start breaking it up between UD Mobile and the Admin Console, it gets hard to follow.

@Javi Thanks. It did finally propagate down to the Admin Console. The group I created is called "Kent". See attached screenshot. I want to use this in a program. I defined 2 test messages in Notification Node Server configuration tab called Test and Test2 in slots 1 and 2 respectively but they do not show up as selectable under Content in the screen shot. Should they be shown there? If I define messages in the Configuration/Networking/Network Resources tab, I don't see a way to limit the sending to the Kent group.

I have defined 2 test messages (1st screen shot) in the Configuration section of the Notification (paid version) Node Server. They both show up in the Admin Console Message dropdown (2nd screen shot) but I'm clearly lacking something in the definition because when I press Send Message from the Admin Console regardless of choosing Test or Test2, I get "Unknown Undefined message 0" in UD Mobile Notifications. Any help would be appreciated.

I have defined a new group in UD Mobile Notifications that is just for myself excluding my wife who won't want to see these notifications. Can I get this group passed down into the admin console so I can use it in programs?

I want to add the Zmatter USB to my Eisy. The store Zmatter page shows a 12V power supply at the bottom as a Related Product. Do I need this or does the device draw its power through the USB connect to the Eisy?

@Javi I just online chatted with a support person and they gave me the email address developerinfo@resideo.com to contact for support of this system. I just sent them an email. We'll see what happens.

@paulbates thanks for the reply. I don't want to do much with notifications except simple, small alerts like "Garage Door Closed" or "User Left Geofence". That kind of thing. So with that in mind, I have deleted both node servers and only reinstalled the Notification node server which I think will suffice. One thing that confused me though was in the Network Resources definitions which have the 3 templates: Push; Push with Substitution; and Push Notification with Sound. Those are part of the Notification Node Server but the code 1st line says "POST /api/push/notification/send HTTP/1.1". This 'push' in this statement has nothing to do with pushover does it?

Well I'm not sure what I did but I did something that now causes my Notification Node Server to fail on restart. I'm attaching the debug log so hopefully someone who knows this better can help. I really didn't think this would be so difficult. Thanks for the help. debug 2.log

So I am taking a step back to try to simplify and understand notifications better. I have purchased the Notifications Node Server and installed it - I think. See 1st screen shot. I also have the Push Node Server installed (2nd screenshot) and purchased the $15 Pushover license. With these 2 Node Servers installed and running, I can create through the Admin console Configuration/Networking/Network Resources various message definitions I can trigger either through UD Mobile or through Admin console programs. The example program has 2 different modes of notifying me for the same event. The first uses a Network Resource I defined by copying one of the Example Push Notifications. The 2nd notification in the code uses the Push controller and the Porch Motion device I created in the configuration section of the Push Node Server. Both do the same thing but do it in different manners. Is one preferred over the other? The both require the Notifications and Push Node servers. I really am trying to understand this communication environment and how to use it correctly. Thanks for any comments/suggestions/feedback. I'm sure there will be follow-on questions.
