Appending a value in push notification ?

[Torbjorn 6]

Hi,

 

I'm relativly new HC2 user with a almost no knowledge in LUA programming.....

I'm building my home automation slowly and get more and more working...

 

I have some block scenes (triggered from external http call) set up to send push notifications on low temperatures and I get the notification on the iPhone correct.  But how can I include, in the notification message,  a temperature value from either of  a HC2 Device / VD / Global Variable ?? 

 

Learning every day.....

The functionality is not implemented in current version unfortunately. For now you need to create one notification for every temperature you need to send, I believe.

It is a feature that is frequently requested and would drastically increase the perceived intelligence and usability of the system and reduce the need for lots of notifications. I currently have 90 different notifications and as the notification list isn't possible to sort at all it is not easy to handle.

 

It really should not be that hard to implement. Fibaro, is this on the todo list for future versions?

But it is possible in LUA scenes.

Thanks in advance ...!

Ok, first you need to find out your mobile devices ID number. To do that you need to go with browser to this link:

 

http://YOUR_HC_IP/docs/#!/iosDevices/getIosDevices

 

where you must replace YOUR_HC_IP with IP address of your HC2, usually looks like 192.168.1.200 or something. This IP you can check if you go to Configuration and then LAN Settings.

 

When you get to DOCS page of your HC then you click on iosDevices to open and click on button TRY IT! to get all mobile devices ID.

 

Here are now some code examples:

Here it is how it looks like on my iPhone:

 

Hope this will help.

Code woked very OK, I getting to know the LUA secrets slowly. Thank you.

Now, if my device is a VD and if I put this device ID into the code, there is a debug error message "attempt to concatenate a nil value"

 

I guess I need to replace the "

with something else...???

In case that you want to get value from virtual device where it is displayed as label then you need to use this command:

Please login or register to see this code.

So, any label value that is displayed on VD can be retrieved and for eg. sent with push or e-mail notification. In your VD there is only one label showing temperature. If you are writing scenes on HC2 then you can always check what you can get from devices which are listed on the left of the scene window:

 

Enjoy coding!
