I got this to work using Groups. Thanks Javi. So apparently if you install UD Mobile on someone else's phone and then login from their phone using your credentials, it adds the user's iPhone to UD Mobile which you can only see under the notifications tab then selecting groups. You can see them listed under Devices. it doesn't show anywhere is AC that I can tell. Not very intuitive in the app, but it works. Thanks again. Tony

Thank you Javi and Paulbates, this worked. I now get notifications on all cell phones based on home/away status. This works fine for any notification I need to broadcast to all user's phones. But I'm wondering if there is a way to send a notification to a specific phone only. Would I have to add each household member as a separate User on the my.isy.io login page? And then on each of their phones, log out (as they are all logged in using my login credentials) and then login using their new user credentials? Will this generate a new UD Mobile node under devices/notifications for each of them in Admin Console?
-
Correct. But I would like the option in the future to focus specific notifications to the household users. Someone was kind enough last year to post this document "Notifications for Dummies" on this forum, but it works for only one user, one cell phone. Not sure how to add others. Thanks.

abartello started following Notifications based on variables to multiple cell phones
-
I have an EISY with PG3 and Notifications plug-in installed. I have three people in our household and would like to send notifications to each of our phones indicating when any one of us has left or arrived at home. Admin Console has added "UD Mobile" under the Notifications node which I'm assuming is my own cell phone. I presently have a variable for each of us that sets to "1" when that person is home and "0" when away. Using a Customization Event template that Notifications put under the Configure tab, I was able to create a notification for when I arrive and leave. I cheated by first using UD Mobile to create a notification from a device like "Table Lamp", then I went into Admin console and edited this for the person's geofenced variable. But I don't know how to add the other cell phones under Notifications for this. UD Mobile is installed on each of their phones under my account, and I created a Geofence Trigger Enter/Exit for each. So each of their variables are changing appropriately in EISY. How create the notification for their phones? Is there a simpler way to do this? Unfortunately, the whole section on how to do notifications is like the Wild West with so many different approaches with UDI. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Tony

Help: Registered but offline and unable to revoke
abartello replied to CKlamkowski's topic in UD Portal
I'm having the same issue as of yesterday. I'm wondering if this is something on UD's end? I get all kinds of Java errors when in Admin console and then the lower red flag of death, which means I can't control anything. -
Trouble with Schlage Door Lock and ZMatter/ZWave
abartello replied to theitprofessor's topic in ZMatter
This is why I hate Z-Wave. I feel like we're going backward with technology. Shouldn't be this hard or this many steps. -
Yale Assure Lock 2 with Zwave Plus module shows as Light Bulb
abartello replied to bchats's topic in Z-Wave - Series 700
Same problem here with my Schlage lock that has worked for years. This appears to be a global problem for all Z-wave lock users and not a local problem. -
I have several family members both at home and remote who get various notifications form my home system via email to text. Lately, it has been very unreliable, very delayed or doesn't work at all. I am interested in checking out both Pushover and UDI Mobile notification feature. My question is, does this require each and every recipient to now have either Pushover app or UDI Mobile on their phones? The beauty of the text message is it can be sent to anyone, with or without a necessary app on their phone.

I have no problem adding and removing Z-wave switches to my IoP, but form the device configuration screen, I can see where you can set the values for Fade Rate, but cannot get the changes to write. Is there a special procedure for this?
-
This was very helpful for me. Been working IoP with PG2 for several weeks and decided today to try to migrate from PG2 to PG3. I have 8 Nodes and several that needed purchasing. Here's the problem I'm having: - When going into PG3, the first thing that I need to do is add the ISY. But when I do, the Nodes come up on the dashboard all saying unmanaged and "no details". Expected since I haven't restored the PG2 backup.bin file yet. When I try to "Restore PG2 to xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" nothing changes and the existing slots remain inactive. - The migration instructions say to purchase any node licenses prior to restoring. But when trying to install those nodes, it wants to put them in NEW node slots (starting at 9 for me) since the existing ones are already occupied. For example, my Ecobee is in slot 2, but when I purchase and try to install the Ecobee node, the only slots available start at slot 9. It won't allow me to put it in slot 2. And it doesn't allow me to delete the existing nodes in the dashboard. - Trying to Restore the PG2 file before adding an ISY is impossible since the "Restore PG2 backup. to 00:00:00:00:00" option is not there until you actually add the ISY first. It seems to me that I would have to delete all of the nodes in PG2 first, then restart Admin Console to remove them from the ISY, then go back into PG3 and restore the Nodes to their proper slots and HOPE that they will re-appear in Admin Console in their proper positions. Am I missing something?
-
Absolutely! Thanks kzboray.

I am running ISY on Polisy in parallel with PG2 at the moment. Looking to convert form PG2 to PG3 (I never used the PG Cloud). Now that Polisy allows remote access (through ISY Portal) to Admin Console, I was wondering if it is possible to access the PG3 page remotely (not on local LAN) as well? Will it leverage ISY Portal as a DNS to access PG3? I guess alternately, I can use a DNS service to get to it.

Creating the ZWave mesh network..Having issues
abartello replied to astark's topic in Z-Wave - Series 300/500
Programming the new Z-wave decide you are adding should be done near to the ISY. Relocate to its final location but then be sure to Refresh you Z-wave network. This allows the final routing tables to be updated. -
Same situation has happened to me as well. Appears to be a problem with Locative. Thanks for the good advice Mr. Bill!
