Hi,

Sorry if I missed seeing a thread on this already if it exists.  I currently have been using network resources for several dozen notifications to UD Mobile.  I really would like to be able use the Node server group functionality (so my wife doesn't get all the notification I want to see).  Is there an easy way to migrate my network resources setup to the notifications module?

Thanks for any insight!

Joe

You can just copy/paste the subject and body of your network resource into a Customization, then edit your program and change from running the NR to sending a notification using that Custom Content.

Would be nice if I created a how-to guide for that...

 

Thanks so much.  I saw that I can bring the content in.  The one thing I'm trying to figure out is how to send to a specific group. I have created the groups on UD mobile, but they don't appear as choices in IOX.  Any guidance on this?

 

Thanks again!

Joe

From UD Mobile wiki:

Groups

UD Mobile Notification Groups are used to send notifications to a single device or group of devices. A group can be used to send messages to a single devices, groups are used to assist with mobile device replacements. Groups can be created or edited from UD Mobile > Notification Tab > Settings (gear icon) > Groups. Notification Plugin (Node Server) restart is required after group creation to populate new groups. UD Mobile will also require synchronization after Node Server has restarted.

If you want to send to specific devices soley using Notification node server, use the Device setting and you can select individual devices or all in the Then portion of your program.

Thanks.  I've followed this.  In the program section, using the Notification Controller / UD Mobile the only choice appearing for Group is REMOVED - Default.  How do I get the group(s) I created to be an option in the ISY.

Appreciate the help!

This is what is in the instructions:

ISY Portal

The ISY Portal Servie allows sending notifications to the Portal which are handled by the UD Mobile app.

 

Originally this service allowed sending to "devices" configured in the Portal, but as of version 3.5.2 the preference is to use groups. To send messages to just one device, create a group with that device in it. This allows you to change device names, or add a new phone to a group and remove the old phone. Users who already have programs configured which reference devices can continue to use that, but should switch to groups at some point.

 

If you are still having issues, maybe post some screenshots so we can see what you see.

I think I followed that instruction as well.  I've attached 2 screenshots.  Once from UD mobile that shows the Groups created and one from IOX that shows a program when the Group box only has the one option.

Background - I installed the node server via UD Mobile.  I ten went into the PG3X interface and paid for the standard version in case that was the limitation.

Also, separte but related, installing the nodes created 2 blank programs - New Notification and New Notification 1.  Must these be left there for notifications to function?

Thanks again!

In your first screenshot under groups, why does it say "removed default"?

So I just looked in UD Mobile under notification settings and found this help link:

https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=UD_Mobile#Group_Setup

 

Thanks, by using this method it seems not to rely on the node server at all.  By changing the network resource, the traditional notify sends only to the group.  I was trying to use the functionality of the node server more fully, perhaps using the same network resource messaging and sending to different groups for different conditions.

 

Did you restart the nodeserver after adding the groups? Then once it fully completes the restart the open the admin console (if you already have it open, then close and reopen)

Outstanding!  Thanks so much!

Great, glad it's working. Sounds like I need to update my documentation?

@Jimbo.Automates I have basically the same messages in both the network resources and notification customizations.  Which is used by the plugin?  Looks like it's the notification ID's.

Thanks so much, this a great addition!

Also, any idea why in the program, the actual name of the customization doesn't appear just the ID? Screenshot attached.

Yes, as mentioned in doc https://github.com/UniversalDevicesInc-PG3/udi-poly-notification/blob/master/README.md#system-customizations "This feature allows sending messages defined in the Admin Console Configuration->Emails/Notifications->Customizations"

The issue with it showing the ID in the Admin Console has been reported to @chris UDI and will hopefully be fixed in a future release of the Admin Console.

BTW, you don't need a unique customization for each Leak Sensor, just create one and reference like the example in that section of the doc mentioned above.

  

@Jimbo.Automates The Emails/Notifications/Customized Content list can be sorted by selection the names header, is there anyway to sort it in the dropdown List when creating the message?

Thank you

Sorry, I can't do anything about the order of the list.  That has also been reported to UDI.

 

@Jimbo.Automates Did not think you could but thought I would ask. Thank you for all you do here and with the Notification NS it is an awesome tool. 

 

Hi @Jimbo.Automates

I have tried to use node substitution but I can't seem to get it right.  I have created a program and a customization.  In the customization I include the program name variable and the node name variable.  The resulting notification includes the proper program name but for the node is says node[#].  Please tell me what I missing or doing incorrectly.  I've tried reading the doc several times and searching the forum but can't find the error.  Program and customization screenshots attached.

Thanks!!

The program must be triggered by a node change , if you are just running it manually it won't show the node.

Program is a little confusing that most reference Garage Entry and one references Front Entry?

Thanks I got it.  Was a copy of one from another that's why the remnant still existed.  So in this case, to test I changed the <= to NOT=.  I then chose RUN IF.  So the IF came into play yet it did'nt display the node name.  Is that because I forced the IF to run rather than the stats change forcing it?
