Notification of SHM Status Change

[bamarayne (Jason "The Enabler" as deemed so by @Smart)]

You’ve been on your forum since Feb 2014. Based on your historical postings you are well aware of the shortcomings of the ST system.

Has there ever been a mode change notification?

Well, there certainly is now, and multiple ways to do it.

A fellow community member took the time to step up and offer assistance. And you took the time to respond with a rant about things not being the way you want them.

Ok, there are literally thousands of threads on this forum just like this one. Why not give your opinion in the announcements section?

Android 2.1.0 - Release Notes - Commentary

BTW other than the display issues which have been around since 2.0.8 this new version is a positive direction ! I like the new look which is remarkably like the 1.X version Getting rid of the useless 1/3 of the page header is so much better ! Left slide is weird but I can live with it The Dashboard is still ridiculous ! If we can’t get our stuff displayed there please just remove it or at least don’t make it the default page !!!

You made a past in the past stating you want s rule engine, not a bunch of apps. Have you tried rule machine? Are you using the Amazon echo? If yes, have you tried using Alexa Helper? Both incredibly good and powerful applications.

Rule Machine Version 1.8 Released

Rule Machine Version 1.8 Released This release of Rule Machine introduces a few features, but more importantly is the result of some major effort with the code base. Entire sections of Rule Machine have been rewritten and cleaned up, including Actions selections, Delay These Actions, and Send messages. As that work progressed some bugs were identified and fixed, and refinements made. Release Notes Decimal values are now allowed for Power meters and Energy meter conditions Random color can be selected in actions; picks random values for hue and saturation, and shows the values in the logs (this leaves something to be desired, too many colors are off-white) Capability Door Control is now supported Both Door Control and Garage Door control now have attributes of open, closed, opening, clo…

[RELEASE] Alexa Helper

All, Be sure to read this thread…newer version is listed below Been quiet lately installing more Echo’s in the house along with the V2 hub. Everything is good and I am taking a more ST approach to my homes, getting rid if IP devices and replacing them with ST compatible items (Samsung SmartCams replacing DropCams, a ZWave garage door opener instead of Chamberlain’s model, etc). Anyway, I am 100% in to home automation. As such, I re-looked at my Alexa Helper app. ST has been a bit slow in reviewing submitted apps, so I took an opportunity to update this app. One of the limitations of the platform is the inability to have more than 4 scheduled items within an app. To get around this, you must install the app multiple times. In the original Alexa Helper there were 6 slots, but only 4 that …

My point being, if you really want the system you are complaining about not having, then embrace the tools here at your disposal, for free. Because with just those two apps alone, ST can be more than you ever imagined home automation could be.
