Edit: Turns out my issue was an expired token. Logging out and back in renewed the token and it all works now.
Notifications to my iPhone worked fine about 4 months ago. I haven't received any in the last 3 months, probably because none have been triggered. Last night I tested it and they are not being received.
Is there an easy way to send a test notification to an iPhone device? Any advice on troubleshooting this issue is greatly appreciated.
Yes, there is a very easy way to test this.
Confirm what device your iPhone is linked to in the app:
Then, connect to your Hubitat hub via a web browser or through the app via tools -> Connect to Hub
Navigate to “Devices” and then search for or go to the one where the name matched the device name in step 1 above. From that screen, enter text in the “Device Notification” area (2) below, and click on the button above where you entered the text. You should get a notification on your phone when it is setup correctly.
Thank you very much for this. I thought there was a method to test, but I couldn't remember where to find it.
Just now, I looked at Notifications under Tools in the app, and was presented with a message that the token had expired. After logging off and back in, the notifications work fine. I guess I was still able to connect to my hub via the local LAN but was not receiving notifications due to the expired token.
Do you know if there is a regular timeout period for tokens?
I have never seen a message about an expired token. Maybe this is something that others can speak to?
I have had this happen a lot on the old 1.x app. I am currently using the beta 2.x app, hopefully it will be fixed in this new app.
Usually any time someone posts the notifications suddenly stopped working, reselecting the hub fixes it.
Does this mean selecting "Connect to Hub" from the Tools menu? I didn't try that. My phone, connected to my home LAN, was seeing the Hub without issue. I assume the trouble was a lack of authentication with the notification server? I saw the invalid token message when I tried to view past notifications from Tools menu.
Thank you both for the help.
I am going from memory since I don't have the 1.x app anymore, but I think you go into the settings and then tap on the name or your hub, or possibly there is a "Select Hub" or "Change Hub" option in there. It will take you through the same thing like when you first log in (without asking for password again), you select a hub then a device to attach to.
