I use iOS and experience truncation only in previews. Long-pressing the notification (probably force-touch on medium-old devices, and...I don't know what on older ones) allows me to see the whole thing. That being said, my list usually contains at most a few devices (I don't know what would happen with extremely long text), and again, the admin UI is really a necessity for troubleshooting most of these. You can use the "View current report" page in the app to see more or less the same thing. It even has clickable links to the device pages. You can bookmark this particular page to make it easier to get to (this page even, not the app itself, which would also work).
What you see where probably depends on your OS, as mentioned above.
In the Hubitat iOS app Notifications are even more truncated than at the iOS level and there doesn't appear to be a way to view the entire text (via the Hubitat app).
@bertabcd1234 Robert...
I also wanted to say thank you VERY much for your awesome work!
I also am super impressed with your troubleshooting & care of the zillion users out here.
Thanks very much, again!

Afternoon everyone.............
So @bertabcd1234 Robert - can a physical device exist in two different groups without conflict?
For example, can a door contact be in group 1, which checks last "activity", AND also be in group 2, which checks devices "battery" strength?
So in effect, I'd get two diff type of checks on the same device.
Thanks again!
Bill
Yes, there is no problem with that. (Though I did contemplate adding some sort of warning if the device is in two different groups that use the same detection method, since presumably only one would matter.)
Ahhha.... @bertabcd1234 Robert............
Man....... thanks again for your very valuable, talented expertise, in your (hee hee) "spare" time!
Now,.... just don't know how to email you a beer..........
Bill
thanks for this.. i need an additional parameter "how long to wait " before tring after a refresh
i have one extender aeon on the edge of my mesh in the basement that doesnt check in unless i do a refresh and the 1/2 sec timeout is not enough.. thanks
it tells me it is not responding every night and when i go look in the logs it has responded but at the exact time the report fires off.
actually the dealys do not seem to be working see the following.. it says it should delay by 1/2 sec for device plus 5 secs and i have 3 devices but the report is running immediately
The refresh will not run every time, only if the device needs to. I would need "verbose logging" enabled to see more. Also, make sure your device also generates activity in response to s refresh at all and that you're on the latest version of the app code.
ok did some more testing changing times. etc..apparently it is not the wait to refresh that is the issue... the items that havent respond and need refresh is not being rechecked after the refresh..
so any thing it deemed needing refresh is being reported as not responding everytime..
Looks like it, thanks! I assume you've verified that refresh() is actually being called on the devices? If so, something must be wrong with my estimated delay time calculation. If you feel like it, after about line 445 you could add a line like log.trace "waitTime = $waitTime" to see what it's returning (you'll probably see that a couple times in the logs--that would be normal and doesn't mean it's getting scheduled twice).
Or I could just give up on these estimates and let the user provide a wait time, a tempting option.
I just installed it and it is working as a charm. Only improvement suggestion would be to add the possibility to have the same devices in a dashboard (red/green)... But I can easily live with the current.
Firstly thanks for the useful app, @bertabcd1234! I´ 'm using it to track offline devices on a tile, but if the status of the devices are ok the tile remains empty.
Is there a way to show something, like "Everything is OK" instead of an empty tile when there isn´t a notification, or to send an alternative notification with a predefined text when the result of the verification is empty?
