So this isn't strictly a Hubitat thing. I currently have notifications setup to go to mine and my wife's phones when the washer or dryer finishes. I have some ideas for other notifications as well.
Notifications can be useful, but I feel like there are a few things that could make them more useful. Here is a use case: The washer finishes. A notification goes to both phones. I move the laundry to the dryer and on the "washer is finished" notification, I hit a "done" button or something similar and clears the notification from my phone AND my wife's phone. That way she isn't left wondering if the laundry has been moved. Bonus points if it can send a command back to Hubitat to press a button. Also would prefer if the notification cannot be swiped away by accident.
Does anyone know of a way to do something like this?
I have a Notification Tile driver that I use to split out notifications and display on a dashboard tile, that may work for you. I set it to be the destination of notifications of specific applications/integrations so that I can see the last 5 at a glance; i.e. you can have HSM going to a tile, and a general tile that shows everything else.
Hi @thebearmay! I would like just to say THANK YOU! This driver conjugate with your app Lock History are the best alternative to the native app Lock Manager, that never worked to me!
Are you getting an error? Haven’t looked at Lock History for a while, but willing to take a look at it if you can describe what isn’t working. Notify Tile I still use every day and haven’t seen any issues.
So the error probably is caused by the app, once I use its notifications on Notify Tile.
Lock Story just stopped to send notifications one week ago, and when I tried to access the History or the Maintain alternate names in the app it stucked with a message saying that An unexpected error has occurred trying to load the app. Check Logs for more information.
Nop, it is empty. It seems to be the same kind of problem that affected another app I use, Device Activity Check. When I hit the internal links the same error appear! I believe it is related to some hub update.
Thanks I’ll take a look at that. As for number of messages displayed try changing line 66 to
input("msgLimit", "number", title:"Number of messages from 1 to 20",defaultValue:5, range:1..20)
Edit: Same issue as thread you pointed out -embedded sections, Would have taken me a while to see that. New verision of Lock History is out on Github. Thanks.
@thebearmay your notification driver is perfect! However, it doesn’t seem to work correctly with Webcore (but worked as expected with RM). In Webcore, only the latest notification can updated, and overwritten without “pushing” the previous ones pdown. I attempted to troubleshoot the issue without success. Any idea what the issue might be?
For webCoRE there are two ways to use it, but only one results in a push message going out. The first is using the device command sendMessage (required by the capability), this will add the message to the Notification Tile and push the previous messages down the stack, but not send a system push message - think of this as a way of testing the functionality of the device. The second, and correct way of using it, is to define the Location Tile as a notification device for webCoRE, and use the webCoRE Location command Send Push Message - this will again add the message to the device stack, but will also invoke HE's push message function.
