Notifications stopped after upgrade from 4.5 -> 4.8

panachoi4 years ago

I had a working installation of 4.5, which was sending notifications. On 30 April, I upgraded to 4.8, and since then, I'm not receiving notifcations anymore.The events are there in the database (geofenceExit, deviceMoving, etc), so I know that the server is "seeing" them, but I don't get any notifications anymore. They're definitely enabled, and I can send myself a event test message without issue. Did I miss something obvious ?

For alarm notifications you need to set types of alarms now.

I'm just returning to this, and cannot find the documentation for this. Is this done now in a different place ? In the config file ?

In the notifications dialog.

As this broke for me, I've gone ahead and deleted everything that was set up previously. I then added a notification for the alarms Geofence Enter and Exit, Movement, and Low Battery (a computed attribute of batteryLevel < 15 ? "lowBattery" : null) in the notifications pulldown on the Map tab.I then enabled this notification for the notifications (Alarm) in the Devices tab.

Its a bit confusing that there's a Notification Type for Geofence Entered/Exit; how doe this behave differently than the Alarm for entering/exiting a Geofence?

Alarm is coming directly from your device. Separate notification is for server generated events.
