I’ve been fiddling with VeraAlerts, but am stumped on 2 things at the moment:
1: how to get anything to show up in Notification Configuration. I think I’ve already got several notifications in place (see status report attached), but nothing appears on my Notification Configuration list/tab. I’ve done several LUUP reloads and VeraLite reboots with browser refreshes, but still that tab is blank.
2: if I have my Profile set up correctly. I entered all of the Gmail SMTP info correctly as far as I know. I was able to send a test message using the Send Alert area… but I’ve never gotten any messages from VeraAlerts (and I wonder if it’s because of #1 above).
Please let me know of any questions, and thank you for any ideas.
It looks like you have only listed notifications for Scene triggers.
Go back and edit a the Scene’s trigger … And Select the User and check it!
You do not have ANY device notifications. To get a device notification … go to the notification tab for a device … and create an appropriate notification.
You also need to specify the user(s) (Looks like you only have one user defined!)

Vera Alert’s uses the following to find where to send alerts.
- On the Scene Trigger or Device Notification … you specify the user(s).
In your case you only have one user.
- Using the User/Profile association (Defined in the Vera Alerts Settings Tab) … it decides which profile(s) to sent to for that/those user(s).
In your case you only have one … SMTP-Mail
The Notification Configuration only show’s overrides for alerts that will actually get sent to a user.
That’s why the Report is so helpful !!! You can see which alerts you have disabled … by not sending to a user … in your case ALL of them!
The Vera Alert’s Report has a lot of confidential info in it … But sometimes I need to see it when there are problems … it’s best to email it to me as opposed to posting it.
OK, that solved it – thank you!
I was getting notifications based on settings in the House Mode screen, but as you said did not have any Notifications set up for Devices or Scenes.
That was an easy fix. The alerts come in much faster now, and the customization is nice. And I’m just getting started…
I hopefully blocked out any email account info on the Report, but I’ve removed the PDF entirely in case it tells anybody about our comings and goings. I will use email next time (but maybe there won’t be a next time).
Thanks again!
I will look into funneling those notifications through Vera Alerts as well …
I am waiting until I move over to UI7 for my home system … I still do not think I am ready for that!
Right now I do not have enough variety of devices on my Test system so that I can reverse-engineer how this is working in UI7.
That feature is NEW to UI7 …
I see, well it’s working great now with the device notifications, so we’re in business as-is.
Thanks again.
