Participanthow do I delete a group? I only have one Device and I think I inadvertently added a group when trouble-shooting

Keymaster@benrita Each timer that can act as a hub will create a device group unless you already have one on your account. This shouldn’t cause any issue inside the timer. Are you seeing errors when you run the timer?

ParticipantOK, no issues yet with gen 2 controller apart from notifications not working on Android 9, but I think this might be an Android 9 issue.

KeymasterWe’re looking into it, but I’ve been receiving notifications on my device and I’m on Android 9. what is the MAC ID of your timer and I’ll be able to look into the notification settings on your account.
I spoke with my developer and he said to check all of your notification settings in your phone, and then make sure you don’t have a battery saving option that prevents the app from sending notifications.

ParticipantStephen, as you can read from my reply to you on this post – https://orbitcomm.wpengine.com/topic/notifications-on-android-phones/#post-77267
my phone is correctly set up (I have been googling a lot about android pie & notification issues).
My mac address is 44:67:55:04:50:2B
The app updated yesterday but my smart watering won’t run until 8 days time.
I have set up a zone to water this afternoon at 3.30pm (26th April Australian Eastern Standard Time) and will report back with result.

ParticipantStephen, with the latest app update I now receive notifications on my phone, but only when I unlock the screen. It does not notify me while the screen is asleep.
These notifications however have come through whilst I am at home (over the wifi I assume), I will see if any come through when I am away from the house over the weekend.Edit. Another app update just now

ParticipantOK, with latest update Android 9 phone has been getting notifications, but only after I wake the phone up. No notifications make a sound or pop up when the screen is asleep.

KeymasterThere has to be a setting you’re missing in your phone that is preventing the app from giving notifications. Maybe try clearing the cache for the B-hyve app. You can also delete the app and re-install it, then reboot the phone and see if that helps.

ParticipantStephen, I have tried all you have suggested, many times, and have even reset the phone to factory settings. The app definitely does not pop up a notification when the phone screen is asleep, wake the screen and notifications come through.
All my settings are correct both for the phone and app.
Can you confirm that your notifications come through when your phone screen is both asleep and awake ?
The smart watering has the controller to water at 3.00pm today 1st May ( Australia). If it does water, we had 1mm of rain this morning, I will report here with the outcome.Spread the love!May 1, 2019 at 10:32 am #77371Stephen
Keymaster@Benrita yes, my notifications come through my phone even when I haven’t opened my app for several hours. I also get the notifications to my watch.

ParticipantStephen thank you, yesterdays watering notification came through on phone 10 minutes after watering had finished. I did clear the app cache yesterday, so maybe that made a difference, hopefully it does not have to be cleared after each notification.
Next current smart watering is in 9 days time so will report back when controller next waters.Spread the love!May 6, 2019 at 11:32 pm #77409benrita
ParticipantStephen, notifications have been coming thru to phone on last 3 occasions.
I notice there has been 2 updates to the app recently, maybe they have helped but so far so good.
Let’s hope it stays that way.
Thanks for your help.Spread the love! -
