Variable Push notifications

[Lenny212 2]

Hi,

I have been using sendDefinedPushNotification function to notify me of basic activities. Is it possible to send an undefined notification, say a string based on the situation? This will save me ending up with a large number of static notifications in the notifcations panel.

Hi @Lenny212,

 

I'm not using block scenes on my HC2, but as far as I know with block scenes you can only send predefined push notifications which is lame, but that is block scenes limitation. With LUA scenes there is no limitation and you can set push notification text on the fly as needed before sending. I'm using this function to send push messages:

This function must be put at the beginning of the scene or VD code. Then in the rest of the code you can call this function with this calls:

Thanks @Sankotronic,

Now that I can recall and use the device name - how do I change the device name so it is more meaningful when I send a push message?

Hi @Lenny212,

 

On which device you refer, mobile device or devices in general? Mobile devices name HC2 get from device itself. Don't know for Android, but iOS devices names are set in Settings -> General -> About -> Name.
