Please provide your hub model (C7, running 2.3.9.200
I want to know how I can get a custom sounds to play on my phone when certain apps run.
Like a klaxon sound play when my powerhouse has a problem with high temperature, or my battery voltage is low or high.
Oh, and can anyone suggest a zigbee powered DC voltage monitor? I really need this to keep an eye on my solar system, right now I have a coulomb counter with wifi, but I would prefer zigbee.
As it is, I have to keep a close eye on things.
Oh, is this a situation for here or a ticket for the hubitat team?
I would also like them to re-program this keyboard to automatically capitalize the little i with the capitalized letter "I" when by itself. All my other keyboards do this wit
hout any problems.
I'm sure they have diverted their limited dev's onto this..... Surely market research has shown this is a commonly requested feature....
But seriously...
Are you meaning Apps running on your phone / tablet, or something triggering on your HE hub? My guess is probably the latter, but it might be worth explaining your scenarios a little more and what you are looking to have happen.
Others have talked about Pushover in other topics, potentially where you have been involved... so won't labour that point, mostly because I don't use Pushover myself. There are likely alternatives, but some more background could help to flesh those out...
It can often be quite a rambling conversation on many threads, but often it is more useful to separate out requests, if only to provide others with something more focused to search for or comment on... i.e. the title of a topic can attract people with a solution more easily than a "hidden" request....
Well, @sburke781 you were correct, I want to play different sounds for different (he) apps to alert me to special circumstances.
Like, if I press an button I would like to know on my phone with custom sounds for different apps and devices. I hope that clears up some confusion.
Oh, and l now understand what your saying. Do not group different problems in one post. Got it.
That does makes it a little harder on my end trying to get the info gathered to figure out the correcr question. Then stop and re-program another device.
But seriously, thanks for the input. I will take it to heart.
Then I expect something like Pushover is likely something to look at.... which I say without knowing if that is the case, others who use it can hopefully comment on it's suitability more than me.
My go to would be Tasker, but that has a relatively steep entry for something relatively simple like this, and probably not worth pursuing as a first option.
@pauljneil2 Pushover will do this. You can do separate alerts depending on the rating you give it including an alert that will bypass your phone's silencer.
It's all good Mark, I think John was just letting his train of thought spill over into his current comment, I think he was just offering a self-observation more than anything else....
I use Shelly Uni to monitor my small solar system’s 12V batteries. Unfortunately, it is also Wifi, so doesn’t meet your Zigbee requirement. It does integrate very well with Hubitat though.
So, it looks like with this keyboard, it is custom to hubitat because it will capitalize the next letter when it sees a period. Samsung keyboard and google keyboard both capitalize every i by itself. Maybe I should send a ticket to Hubitat to check on it. I know it is something small, but I have a problem of using i a lot. Lol.
As for the sounds, i will have to look into that pusher part a little closer.
The relay would be a plus but I need to know the voltage of my 24v 44kwh LifePo4 battery pack. That is 1834ah @24vdc. A really big bang potential. At least LifePo4 cells wont explode, but they will release the secret smoke inside. I have to keep a close eye on it as it is. My powerhouse has 4 2400w 120v inverters paired in 2x2 so I get 240vac @ 200a service from my solar system. It does have the master bedroom 240v 9000w mini-split ac and my solar system keeps that and all my 120v circuits in my house. The only things not on my solar yet, is my 4-ton air2air heat pump and my instant on water heater. I have 9150 watts of solar feeding it.
Well, I digress. Sorry about the extra off topic parts.
I have several of these and they do not report input voltage.
All they do is receive commands over zigbee and either turn the relay on or pulse it for about 1 second. This is configurable with the MODE button (the top button).
The bottom button is a local control.
They work great and I didn't expect them to report voltage though...
Hmm , sounds like it just monitors for a trigger point (11.6V/23.1V) and then sends a battery/power supply in a defective state notification.
The ZigBoat ™ battery sensor monitors the battery voltage at both 12V and 24V and, if it falls below a predefined level, sends push notifications.

here is the battery sensor
that monitors the level of your battery
it will warn you if the battery goes
below 11 point 6 volts for the 12 of
systems or 23.1 for 24 volt systems it
includes a switch that you can use to
choose the voltage systems you need the
sensor has to be linked to the battery
I can't find any information about this new device.
Can you post the detailed device information that is available from the hyperlink when you pair it as a new device? (see this example).
I believe you are correct. Actual measurements show (using the contact sensor driver) the contact reports open @23.28vdc and closed at 23.29vdc. This will alert me if my battery gets low and i can then go investigate.
Lookjng at the inside, it looks like it was actually a door/window magnetic contact switch with the switch removed and 2 wires soldered into its place. The two wires are connected to a board that has a selector to go between 12vdc or 24vdc system. That small board then sends a high or low signal to the contact sensor board.
So, the moral of this story is, no voltage reporting with a fransmitter that only has two states. Lol. Depending on the driver i choose, it can say open/closed, wer/dry, clear/detected, etc, but that can work. At least i know when there is a problem so i can go check it manually.
Well, it doesnt look like the other pics will load.
no worries.
