notifications.notifications

Do you have zones defined by the older @signalk/zones plugin? I think it can cause this issue. (check AppStore installed / source under Data Browser) To migrate zone configuration from @signalk/zones plugin to use SK server directly, under SK Data Browser, click edit and then save for each path with a zone shown . Then disable then @signalk/zones plugin.
Cleanup: after removing @signalk/zones plugin try restarting SK ... that may help but you might have to edit baseDeltas.json

Can someone talk me through Kip boolean control panel --> node red

I'm not sure what to tell you w/o an Andriod to test ... maybe try other platforms w/ different javascript engine? I can't even run Kip on my older ipad air however I did just test on an iphone and while the "Push" control works (pressing on button sends true) I can't get it to repeat. This issue may just be related to touch interface vs. mouse events.

Can someone talk me through Kip boolean control panel --> node red

With the new Kip boolean panel a "Push" type control sends multiple/continuous events with True. I'm seeing 5-10 per second. When released (stop pressing) it stops sending True (does not send a False). Maybe try adding a new Push type switch to make sure you're not getting any cached code?

Can someone talk me through Kip boolean control panel --> node red

Also, I've used Kip's Push (eg. to mute notification playback) and it seems to send true as fast as it can while being depressed. I'm not seeing any repeat rate control. The boolean Toggle control works well for my use case above w/ USB switching.

Can someone talk me through Kip boolean control panel --> node red

I'm controlling a usb relay with node red (allows me to enable n2k bus when testing from home). Startup read relay state and creates SK path. PUT handler accepts (true/false) input from Kip's boolean toggle, flow logic then controls relay, reads state and sends pathvalue to to update SK path.

David Sanner - meta data & zones issue: I have...

From the manual: "Any part of the range which is not explicitly within a zone is considered to be normal (the default)." Got it, makes sense but again would be nice to be able to control the message & method associated with a notification entering the normal state. Use case might be a relay (battery combiner) turning off or any other path returning to normal where it might be nice to get a notification of this. I guess defining a nominal zone could work but why not have control of the notification in the default state? Thanks.

David Sanner - zones & notifications: what are ...

@Karl-Erik Gustafsson Thanks... I was poking around there yesterday (though missed the pencil/edit) icon. @Scott Bender Thanks as well, now I see the best way to do zones/notifications. fyi, if it's not obvious for all, to migrate your config from the zones plugin to server/baseDeltas.json use the Data Browser and for each path with zone metadata (but not the notification paths generated by zones plugin) click edit and then save (pencil then disk icon). This transfers and saves the config from the zones plugin to baseDeltas.json which then allows the zones plugin to be disabled.
