Is there a limit on the number of messages that can be created?

@Jimbo.Automates Is there a limit on the number of messages that can be created in the controller node? I have 140 messages I have entered but when I enter more they do not show up in the IOP..

 

Thank you

Wow, that's a lot of messages! But no, there is no limit I am aware of. But you may have hit the maximum number of nodes? Dona download log package and PM it to me. I'm also curious why you need so many, you can do a lot with short custom content by embedding node or program names.

@Jimbo.AutomatesAttached is the log file. I am not really very good at programing so I found it easier just to add them to Custom Typed  Configuration Parameters in the configuration in the node server. It lets me enter them in and save them they just will not show up in the IOP.

Here is an example of my programs:

Thanks for the log, it looks like your message id after 144 is not defined?  This is causing my code to die, which I need to fix.

If you have many messages to notify when a device is turned on or off, they can all share the same custom content, I'll try to create an example when I have time.

@Jimbo.Automates There is no message after 144 but there is a blank section for a message. How do you delete messages in the configuration? I have figured out how to do short custom messages so I can get additional messages that way at least for now. 

 

Thank you

There is a tiny little box to the right which you can click on to delete the custom data item, we need @bpwwer to fix PG3 so it shows an X icon there.

Glad you figured it out, I have updated the documentation to show sending custom content with the "Send Sys Short with Params" method: https://github.com/UniversalDevicesInc-PG3/udi-poly-notification/blob/master/README.md#custom-content-example
