How can BlueNote send text or email notifications to my smartphone or watch?
BlueNote Lights has the ability to activate alerts on mobile devices such as smartphones and watches by relaying a one-way SMS message to the user's phone number. Each device will need to be programmed at a separate BlueNote Client. The client must be running with Notifications turned On to receive alerts on mobile devices.
To turn on Notifications, go to BlueNote and choose Menu >Notifications > Open Alert Manager.
Once inside the Alert Manager, toggle the Mobile Notifications setting to "On."
With the mobile notifications tab activated, you'll need to choose the method of delivery of your Mobile Device Notification.
Text Messaging/SMS Message:
If you want Lights to be received as a Text Message, under Mobile device choose "Send as SMS Message." Type in your mobile number, choose your Mobile Provider from the drop-down list, and press "Next."
The mobile number entered will be sent a Verification Code. Enter this code as shown and press "Save." If you do not receive a Verification code, this means that the code has either been blocked by the network firewall, or that the mobile provider has ceased to provide SMS messaging services.
Once you've verified the Mobile Notifications via SMS, you'll be prompted to go back to the Alert Manager Lights to customize your Light notifications.
All SMS mobile notifications will be turned off, as indicated by a red button. Toggle each of the Light's corresponding Mobile buttons to Green. Once the Mobile button is turned on for a Light, any time that Light is activated on the NoteBoard, a notification will be sent as a text message to that mobile device.
Email Messaging:
If you want your Lights to be received as an email message, under Mobile Device choose "Send as Email Message." Type in your email address and press "Next."
The email address entered will receive a Verification Code. Enter this code as shown and press "Save."
Once you've verified, you'll be prompted to go back to the Alert Manager Lights to customize your Light notifications.
All Email notifications will be turned off, as indicated by a red button. Toggle each of the Light's corresponding Email buttons to Green. Once the Email is turned on for a Light, any time that Light is activated on the NoteBoard, a notification will be sent as an email to that mobile device.
