Push message uni-PRO APP

With this function block the controller sends notifications directly to the uni-PRO APP - even when the APP is closed on the phone. Tapping the notification opens the APP.

Unlike the Push message Pushover block, this requires no third-party service and no account, and no additional app has to be installed. The message is sent to every device whose APP has logged on to this controller at least once.

Setup:

No credentials have to be entered on the block. It is sufficient to enter the message and to connect the trigger.
Every phone registers itself with the controller when the APP is started for the first time. From then on it receives notifications. A device that has not reported for six months is removed from the list automatically.
Notifications for the uni-PRO APP must be allowed on the phone. The APP asks for this at first start; the setting can be changed at any time in the device settings.

Inputs
TR	Trigger	Trigger on which the message is sent. See parameter Trigger.
WT / W1..W8	Value	Optional values. Values connected here can be inserted into the title or the message. The placeholder %1 in the title or message is replaced with the value of the first value input, %2 with the second and so on. The number of value inputs is set with the parameter Number of inputs. Formatting follows the data type of the linked address (integer, floating point or string); if no address is linked, floating point is used.
Outputs
FE	Error	Number of errors.
AZ	Count	Number of messages sent.
FT	Filter	Remaining filter time in seconds. After a message has been sent, this output counts down from the time set in the parameter Filter to 0. As long as the value is greater than 0, no further messages are sent.
Parameters
	Trigger	Rising edge: Message is sent on 0-1. Falling edge: Message is sent on 1-0. Telegram 0: Message is sent on a telegram with value 0. Telegram 1: Message is sent on a telegram with a value other than 0. Value change: Monitoring of the trigger input. The message is sent on every change of the value at input TR, including numeric and text values. Telegrams with an unchanged value do not trigger a message. During the first 10 seconds after the controller has started, only the initial values are taken over, so no message is sent. Cyclic sending is not possible with this setting.
	Title	Optional title of the message. If the parameter is left empty, uni-PRO is shown.
	Message	Message that is sent. Mandatory field - if the parameter is empty, nothing is sent and the output FE Error is increased.
	Group	Optional label that marks related messages. Messages of the same group replace each other on the phone instead of piling up. This is useful for a doorbell, for example: entering door here means that even after repeated ringing only a single, current message is shown on the screen. If the parameter is left empty, every message is shown separately. The label can be chosen freely and is not displayed on the device.
	Filter	Waiting time in seconds until the next message is sent. While the time is running, further triggers are discarded. The remaining time is available at output FT. With 0 the filter is switched off.
	Send cyclically	The message is sent repeatedly as long as the trigger condition is present. With the setting Value change there is no pending condition, therefore cyclic sending is not possible there and the parameter is hidden.
	Cycle time	Interval between two cyclic messages in minutes. If the filter is active, the cycle waits until the filter time has elapsed.
	Number of inputs	Number of value inputs (1 to 8) that are available for the placeholders %1 to %8.

Placeholders: In the title and the message the placeholders %1 to %8 are replaced with the values of the value inputs, %1 with the first value input, %2 with the second and so on. For example, the message "Error sensor above %1 degrees" becomes "Error sensor above 50 degrees". Formatting follows the data type of the linked address; if no address is linked, floating point is used.

Which devices are reached: The controller remembers every phone whose APP has logged on to it and sends the message to all of these devices. There is no way to select individual recipients. If the APP is deleted from a device, the notification service reports this back and the controller removes the device from the list by itself.

Requirement: Delivery runs through a relay service that forwards the message to Google or Apple respectively. This service must be reachable from the controller. If it cannot be reached or if no device is known yet, nothing is sent and the output FE Error is increased.

Doorbell: A doorbell notification is set up by connecting the output KL of the Doorbird block to the input TR of this block. Text, blocking time and group can then be set freely.
