Pushover Notify Server Question

[Kentinada]

I created a Pushover.net Notify Node within the Notification Configuration section of the plugin.  Everything seems to be defined OK. 

Q1: For the Message button, the message field says 0.  I thought there was supposed to be a set of predefined short messages which we could select from.  I don't see those anywhere.  Is that incorrect?

Q2: When I press the Send Message button (it's off the screenshot on the bottom) I get an Unknown notification through Pushover on my iPhone. It says Undefined Message 0 which corresponds to the 0 in Q1.  But where are the predefined messages then?  

Q3: I selected Christmas Indoors for the System Custom Content and then pressed the System Custom Content button which I assumed loaded that message.  When I press the Send Sys Custom button (again not visible), I get nothing on my phone.  If I press the Send Sys Custom with Params button, I get the Christmas Indoors message I defined.  See 2nd screenshot. Why didn't I get it with the Send Sys Custom button? 

I am really trying to FULLY understand this Notification world so I can maybe help someone else who is less technical with it as well.

More on Q3 above:  When I press the Send Sys Custom button, the last status goes to False and the device has a red ! on it in the AC.   What is it hiccuping on?

@Jimbo.Automates any ideas on the False/error status?

Ok so the work-around is use the Send Sys Custom with Params command (highlighted in bold below.) This works where the Send Sys Custom command does not. 

Notification OnOff-9.1 On-Off Module - [ID 0017][Parent 0001]

If
        'Office / OnOff-9.1 On-Off Module' Status is On
 
Then
        Set 'Office / OnOff-9.1 On-Off Module' Beep
        Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover UDEISYPO' Device KBM_iPhone
        Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover UDEISYPO' Send Sys Custom With Params To KBM_iPhone Priority=Normal Format=None Sound=Pushover (default) Retry=30 Expire=60 Content 4 Notification ID (ID=4)
        Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover UDEISYPO' Message Test2
        Set 'Notification Controller / Service Pushover UDEISYPO' Send Message
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

This indicates and error on the PG3 side, check the PG3 UI.  I'll look into it when back home after the holidays.  But in reality, this method is not needed anymore and was only left there for legacy users.

You only need the bold line, you don't need the other 3 lines to send a message.

@Jimbo.Automates Jim I understand that.  But I have been digging into this so much, I'm trying to understand the various methods of getting a message out so that I might help others.  In the end, I'll pick one method and stick with that.  Thanks. 

[Jimbo.Automates]

Yes, "Send Sys Custom With Params" is the current recommended method to stick with, all others are legacy.
