Question: How to Apply Message Tags to Internal Alerts

Apps & Remote Access VeraAlerts
1

I checked the Internal Alerts check box on the Setting Tab in the Vera Alerts plugin to send out messages when Vera Reboots, or settings on the Settings Tab are changed. It successfully works. “Message=Vera Startup” and “Registered=myVeraSerialnumber” appear in the Alert Properties in the Vera Alerts Android app for Vera Startup and “DefaultReceipients = myDeviceIdentifier” appears when Default Recipients change.

How do I apply message tags to Internal Alerts?

For example,

[ul][li]Vera Startup {tone:5} {timestamp} {BGColor:x899CFF} {FGColor:xA3A3A3}[/li]
[li]DefaultReceipients {tone:1} {timestamp} {BGColor:xFF8080} {FGColor:xFF8080}[/li][/ul]

Well there is not a way to do this … I am not sure I want to bring a UI out to do this.
You can send an alert from LUA code in the Startup lua. I am not sure if the plugins are initialized at that time. If not, then you would need to call a delayed function to send an alert with all the bells and whistles you want.

Without the capability to do so, your Vera Alerts Android app uses Alert tone 1 to announce them along with any other alerts that I explicitly markup as tone 1.
