If there is one thing about the Vera I dislike, it’s notifications on my iPhone and Watch. You can tell it was designed by an engineer, as there is way to much detail in the notification that I really don’t care about. It makes it extremely difficult to get to the bits you really DO care about. In fact on the Watch not all of the notification will fit on the display, so you have to manually scroll to read what you need to know!
I’ve been an engineer for over 30 years now, and I have learnt to always follow the KISS principle (Keep It Simple Stupid). It makes life so much easier for everyone.
PLEASE can we have an option for simple notifications!
Here is an example…
Current Notification:
A door/window was opened at 2016-02-18 12:36:34. Reported by serial #xxxxxxxx device #xx “Front Door Opened” in “Hall”. Alert #xxxxxxxxxx.
Simplified version:
Front Door Opened
2016-02-18 12:36:34pm
