Notifications are ignored by the genie-client

Hi,

I created a rule to notify me when a light is turned on (Home Assistant skill). The genie client receives the notification, but ignores it with this message:

Skipping message ID=1653 (Notification)

If I give the command: Enable notification.

I receive an error. How can I enable notifications?

How did you created the rule?

Hi,

I created the rule as a voice command to Genie. It was translated as:

Notify me when the power state of my Lounge main lights lights changes and it becomes true that the power is equal to off.

and visible in the ‘My rules’ tab of my Genie server. Hope this helps in pinpointing the issue (code or my fault).

Thank you for reporting the issue. We will look into it and get back to you as soon as possible.

It turns out we disabled notifications on purpose for voice. Uncomment this line in config.ini and rebuild genie-client should give you voice output for notifications.

Hi,

thanks for your feedback. I will try your suggestion. I’m currently running this on a Pi Zero W2. I rebuild the client as described here: Installing Genie on a Xiaodu Speaker | Genie Wiki ? For other changes in the ini file, rebuilding the client wasn’t needed so far.
