openLuup: User Notifications

Plugins & Plugin Development openLuup
1

I am unable to find a way to add / manage users through the AltUI?
Interestingly in the footer it is showing my wife’s name at the User:? ( I think she hacked me )
Also related - I am unable to find any options within the scene editor to send notifications to a user?
Any ideas what I may have done wrong in my setup

( environment 1 Vera Edge UI7 latest, openLuup running on dedicated Ubuntu 14.03 box - all latest versions

Certainly a question for amg0, I believe others have asked for this as well.

I believe this is acquired from the Vera unit which AltUI is communicating with. Hacking may have started there.

Interestingly in the footer it is showing my wife's name at the User:? ( I think she hacked me )

Are you wanting openLuup to send the notification or Vera by way of bridging ? If exclusively openLuup, then I’d install the Push Notification plugin and use that to send alerts. I currently do this today using Pushover.

User are ont manager on altui, it uses users created on your Vera. It displays the first users , usually the one you created first. OpenLuup uses verabridge to get users I think.

Notifications can be programmed by going to device control panel, choose notification, it allows you to select the device event and then open a scene editor on a special scene. Then in the trigger section you can find your trigger and a small icon in shape of a human face , you can select users here.

Found it - Thanks
Since I am looking to notify when a scene activates ( may not be activating a device, just running some Lua code ) I think I will create virtual switches for my users and then have the scene action activate them - I can then use the notification feature of those devices to do the alerting.
BTW Great job guys - I am enjoying setting this up.

Purely cosmetic to uniquely identify you for the licensing scheme. No concerns.

Hi amg0,

Reopening this one as I’m not getting the notifications to work as descibed above. I have ALTUI on openLuup on a Pi. I can select the users for the notification, but nothing is received. Does this somehow rely on the ALTUI.notify function, if they go to the Vera Phone app, how? You need to setup a trigger, but I recall openLuup does not support those triggers to trigger a scene, only watches.

I have Pushover setup now, but for simple notifications I’d rather not have a lot of LUA in each of the event I want a notification for.

Some pointers are appriciated.

Cheers Rene

it is purely doing notification the same way as VERA meaning as an invisible scene triggered by device notification events. Therefore it is based on declared event notification in devices JSON files and therefore I believe it cannot work on openLuup until openluup supports device notifications

I feared so. Thanks for the confirmation amg0. So I’m off setting scenes with triggers and LUA now. Does give more flexibility :wink:
