  • Might it be helpful to add Text Box with free Text (f. E.: Description), or even better for small Screenshot, in the Settings to keep Track by 6 Data Fields already?

  • A strange behaviour of Notification count:

    On my today's tour my Edge told me: Notification count = 1.
    Of course I checked the lock screen on my iPhone - No message.
    I checked the Notification widget on my Edge - No notification.

    I tried all I can think of to get rid of this "1".
    I disconnected my phone - Notification remained 1
    I booted my Edge, booted my iPhone - Notification came up with 1.

    I simply cannot get rid of this "1".

    So, I think it is maybe a not so difficult possibility to get the Notification counter empty (set to 0) when the phone connection becomes 0 (not connected)?

  • Does it clear if you change to a different activity profile?

  • Yes, I tried that - to no avail.

    But when I‘m thinking of it: after reboot of my Edge, the counter must have been got empty - but has been filled from my iPhone again. 

    There must ba a „hidden“ message on my iPhone...

    Edit: and wrote once that he takes the value directly from SDK. So, there is nothing to empty...

  • Something very strange happening there. I don't have an iPhone so don't know how the notifications work. I know on android you can have notifications that don't display on the phone I wonder you've disabled notifications for an app but GCM still sees them

  • On my Edge I have enabled notifications for:
    -phonecalls
    -SMS
    -multimedia like Whatsapp

    I disabled notifications for e-mails.

    This works as set on my Edge‘s notification widget.

    But the SDK notification count „takes it all“. Lockscreen messages like:
    -Edge device has connected to GCM
    -Edge device has unlocked from GCM
    -Honeywell sensor reports high humidity in your cellar
    -short parking zone ends in 15 min
    and so on...

    (which I don't normally have a problem with. That's okay. )

    Edit:
    now I have managed to get rid of that one „unknown“ message. I opened all apps on my iPhone which are allowed to send messages and kicked them off from the memory.
    But what I don‘t get is: even when I disconnected my iPhone - and this was confirmed by „phone connected = 0“ - the notification count remained at 1.

  • Glad you got rid of the offending message.

    I know my fenix shows a standing notification even if the BT is disconnected though you have to reconnect to the phone to see the content. I didn't realise the edge did something similar. One thing I have noticed on the edge is that if you have a standing notification & put the edge to sleep, when you wake it up again the notification is still there even if it's been cleared from the phone itself. I think it clears eventually though

  • New version 2.9.6 available on all clones:

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    2.9.6
    * added datafield setting "Description". It is not used in the datafield, just for better overview of the different layouts.

  • Well, there are always unexplainable things...
    But thank God these aren't real problems.
    This HMs DIY is the best thing in the whole store! Relaxed
