Plugins & Plugin Development VeraAlerts
1

Looks like another great plugin produced by you Richard! Thank you.
My plan is to do away with the Push plugin, Prowl plugin and consolidate notifications to the Vera Alerts. Idea being you will finalize the IOS implementation soon. In the meantime, I am using it to send notifications to my IOS devices with the Pushover app.

While a few notifications are indeed working, meaning it must be all set up and configured ok. I have only 1 profile, pushover, in use.

I am trying to figure out using this plugin correctly. First the “Report” shows a list of devices. I assume this list is produced because a notify is set for it in Vera. So why does my config screen look like the second pic? Not everything is displayed. I might add that I have Vera Alerts added to some scenes, which do not show up in the list.

I’m confused about what I should see in the Config tab. I would have thought that ANY Vera Alert I set in a device or a scene would show up in this list, allowing me to use the message overide features.

Maybe something is wrong with my plugin? (4.4)

Excellent Question. I should put some info in the report so people understand.
The report shows ALL of the defined notifications in your system.

The Configure Notifications only shows the subset that have a user selected in the notification.
If you want to see more here … find the notification (or scene trigger) and select a user.

Thank Richard for the explanation. I went ahead and carefully went to all my alerts and added a recipient (me). I have 1 Pushover profile defined.
My alerts are all working fine, but my list is still wacko. See pics.

I did create alerts in PLEG and also some scenes. I used veraalerts as the source in the advanced tabs. Is this the correct way? They are sending to my Pushover app on my iphone fine. I just still wonder why I don’t have a listing so I can utilize message overides to add info to my alerts.

I’m sure I am doing something wrong.

Message overrides are only for default formatted messages from Device Notifications and Scene Triggers.
You already have control of the message when you add a Notification using the advanced tab of Scene (Or PLTS/PLEG action).
