Summary
A simple_sensor node sends alerts to contacts holding PERM_RECV_ALERTS_HI/LO.
The alerts are received and stored by the companion radio, but there appears to be no way to view them in the app. (confirmed by disconnecting from a companion with a screen. The alert messages are visible, but are dismissed when connected to the phone app.)
Setup
- Sensor:
simple_sensor on RAK4631 (ADV_TYPE_SENSOR)
- Companion:
companion_radio on RAK4631, paired to the official app
- Recipient granted
PERM_RECV_ALERTS_HI | PERM_RECV_ALERTS_LO (via admin login auto-grant)
Expected: alerts appear as messages from the sensor contact.
Actual: nothing visible. The sensor contact appears in the contact list and its ACL editor works - including the high/low priority alert checkboxes, but there is no reachable conversation view for it.
Suggestion
Allow the message thread for sensor contacts, or surface alerts somewhere in the UI. Would be nice if the high/low priorities could utilize iOS's critical notification functionality and whatever the equivalent on Android is for that.
The app already exposes alert-permission checkboxes in the sensor's ACL editor, which implies alerts are intended to be received - the configuration half is implemented but the receiving half is not reachable.
