VeraAlerts provides notification of events that were originated from your Vera Home Automation system and delivered to your Android phone. In addition to the text of the notification, it can also request 1 of 5 alert tones to be played on your phone when the notification is delivered. Or it can have the message spoken using the locally installed Android Text To Speech, TTS, engine on your phone. VeraAlerts also maintains a database of these notification events so that you can review their history. It provides various tools to display these events and also to manage the lifetime of the stored data. UI5 and UI6 Development is frozen.
New 4.0 version adds forwarding support for iOS devices in addition to Android

This plugin has always worked well as a major enhancement of the existing notification system inside of Vera. Definitely improves a feature that Vera does not do well. I use it to forward Vera notifications to my Android phone using the companion Android app.



Now with version 4.0, the author adds internal support for forwarding to 3rd party messaging services like Pushover, Prowl, & Twilio. I can now use this plugin to forward to my iOS devices, as well as my Android

phone.



The plugin is well documented, but can be a little technical for a novice like me. (I could use a few more listed examples for the features). Fortunately, the author is always available on the forums to answer questions & provide help & clarity.



I highly recommend this plugin
