[hr]
Version 3.2:
[ul][li]If a burst of Notifications happen at the same time … it could potentially cause Vera to restart it’s LuaPnP process.[/li]
[li]This corrects that problem. When scanning for notifications, handle invalid data.
This happened recently when a defective plugin was installed.[/li][/ul]
[hr]
Version 3.0:
[ul][li]The plugin version of 3.0 fixes the {TimeStamp} field that I broke in version 2.0[/li]
[li]The ability to take a snapshot or short video of a camera in Vera and attach it to the notification.
I need to work on the Video some more … at this time all of Video Data is read at one time into Vera memory … so keep the videos short for now. This is a function of amount of free memory on your Vera. I have test with 10-30 second clips. I have some ideas on improving this … but not done yet.
In order to receive the Snapshots and Videos, your Android client will need to access your Vera to download these. These files are too big to send trough Google’s Cloud Messaging. So in the settings page on Android is a place to set your UserName, Password, And Serial Number (info needed to connect to your Vera at cp.mios.com).
This will start the download as soon as it receives the Notification … Chances are it will be downloaded before you get to look at it.
Once you get your Snapshot in the Android App … there is a button to get a current snapshot. This will be extended to videos when I solve the above problem.
With Videos you can zoom/pan and go backwards and forwards (like a DVR) … Click the < and > keys to speed up … touch the screen to pause.
And last … in order to use this feature; add the following to your Notification Message:
{Picture(XXX)} or {Video(XXX, YYY)
Where XXX is the Vera Device ID for one of your cameras … and YYY is the time in seconds of Video to capture.
Note 1: At this time since it all goes through memory … the message is NOT sent until the video is captured.
Note 2:On Android, the videos and pictures are stored on your SD card: as: /sdcard/Pictures/VeraAlerts
They are deleted when you delete the associated Notification from Vera.[/li][/ul]
[hr]
Version 2.2:
[ul][li]Support for GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) and Local Area Network Wifi delivery to android client.
At some point in time the previous Plugins will NO longer work!
Upgrading should speed up notifications … the previous versions of the plugin are sending messages to a C2DM delivery agent … it fails there than forwards to the new GCM delivery agent. Upgrading to this version skips that step.
[/li][li]Supports forwarding Notifications to other plugins (i.e. Push Notification, Sonos, Event2GCal, … )[/li]
[li]Add additional Template Expansion Context for Notifications.[/li]
[li]Modify Service Definition so VeraAlerts can be incorporated into: AutoHomation[/li]
[li]Bug fixes:
Fix problem of single and double quotes in the notification name.
Fix problem of invoking Text Templates form Control panel.[/li][/ul]
