PG3 Notification Node server 3.6.7


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

The notification node server 3.6.7 is released.   There are still issues with this version which requires a new release of PG3/PG3x which is not out yet so existing users, please hold off updating.  I will update this post when the new version is released to fix the issue.  If you intend to only use the UD Mobile node, or convert you existing ones, then you can install and give it a try.  The existing Pushover and UD Portal nodes do not function correctly with the IoX 5.6.2 and current PG3/PG3x.

This finalizes the support for a new UD Mobile node which will be utilized in the UD Mobile app to make it easy to add notifications.  

We have also added support for allowing any length of System Customizations to be used, the previous limit was 80 characters.  This completely eliminates the need to use REST interface thru IoX network resources.  

There is now also a "Free" version which has limited features and can be automatically installed by UD Mobile for new users.  It does not support failed retries, and is limited to 8 messages a day.

Thanks to @Michel Kohanim@Chris Jahn, @bpwwer, @Javi and @bmercier for all the help getting this done and almost working.

There is also an issue for current users of "Send Sys With Parameters" in a program.  When you view the program you can only see the ID number of the System Customization you have referenced, but the edit window at the bottom will always show the System Customization ID number one.  Then to actually utilize the longer text in a message you will need to edit the program line to set the proper System Customization, and save it.  UDI have fixed the Admin console, so in the next release this will not be an issue.

Due to the issue mentioned in the first paragraph, you will get this message in the PG3 UI.

This version of PG3 3.1.31 will not work properly with Pushover or UDPortal nodes, Please upgrade modules and restart PG3. tisyVersion=5.6.2 isPG3x=True pg3Version=3.1.31

This is because the new version of PG3/PG3x is not out yet, hopefully soon.

There is also a bug in the Admin Console which results in the notification name not showing up in the Program line, it shows the notification number.  Hopefully this will be fixed in the next release as well.

Implemented Notifications over the weekend and tested with UD Mobile and Pushover.  Both are receiving messages with no problems.  UD Mobile provides a notification on my iPhone at time of receipt.  However, no notification occurs for the Pushover message.  Just updated to 3.6.9 and still have the problem.  Iox and PG3 are at the current release levels.  A message generated from the Pushover website to the iPhone provides a notification.

As mentioned in the first paragraph of the OP, there are issues with Pushover notifications which require a new release of PG3/PG3x to resolve, which is not out yet.  Specifically Sounds, Devices, Hopefully soon.  Are you on PG3 or PG3x? Michel has mentioned the fix may only be released with PG3x so you would need to do the conversion.

But, if you don't get a notification for Pushover, that likely means the Priority is set to "Low" or "Lowest" that's a feature of Pushover, where notifications are not given for those.  At least that's how it works on Android.   The issue is many of the drivers are not being passed thru PG3/PG3x, so you lose the Priority, Format, ... settings which means it takes the defaults from the "Service Pushover ..." node.  Click on that node and make sure the Priority is "Normal".  Change it in the dropdown, then save it by hitting the "Priority" button.

All good. Changing the priority to Normal did the trick.  Have no more issues with Notifications at this time.  Thank you.
