Push Notification

With push notification, HMI sends selected event messages to EasyAccess 2.0 server, which may be viewed in the EasyAccess 2.0 application. In the case of a mobile device, the device will receive the event messages as push notification and be alerted on the standby screen.

Requirements

  1. In the project, for each of the desired event log entry, check the “Push Notification (EasyAccess 2.0)” option.

  2. In EasyAccess 2.0 [Event Logs] => [Push Notification setting] , toggle ON the push notification Enable option for each desired HMI.

  3. Select desired push notification event on OPTION

Receiving notification

As long as EasyAccess 2.0 remains running at least in the background and the user remains logged in, when an event occurs, the device will receive push notification. Nonetheless, the exact device behavior upon receiving push notification depends on each device’s setting regarding push notification.

For Apple’s iOS device, push notification goes through Apple Push Notification Service, whereas Android devices’ goes through Google Cloud Messaging. Note that these services may be unavailable in certain regions, and users in those regions are unable to receive push notification on their devices.

Language Selection

If the project includes multiple languages and its event log content also does, it is possible to switch the language contained in push notification messages. To do so, all the requirements are the same as regular push notification, plus the following:

  1. In EasyBuilder Pro, for the content of event messages, use label tag with multiple language definition from the label library.

  2. In EasyBuilder Pro, in [Language & Font], under [Language] tab, assign an appropriate language code to each language.

    Having configured as above, the languages defined above can be selected In EasyAccess 2.0 [Event Logs] => [Push Notification setting] under for HMI. Event messages and push notification message will change to the selected language accordingly.
