Just tested the new CallMeBot integration which is working for me.

In the notification.yaml file I just had to specify my username in the quotes:

user: "@user_name"

I also specified this language for proper English.

lang: "en-GB-Standard-A"

And the number of repeats I wanted:

rpt: "2"

When I press the Play button on the "Set Reaction" in my test rule, my phone receives a phone call saying "This is a test" twice.

My phone is Android Pie version 9. If anyone knows how to make this CallMeBot phone call ring out aloud even when my phone is in vibrate or silent mode I would really like to know how ?

Sounds like a job for Tasker. Best Android phone automation tool around. Basically Reactor for Android!

Among its many built-in variables is one for detecting the incoming phone number. That can become the basis for a "Profile" (trigger), which would run when CallMeBot phones you. And that profile can run a Task (reaction) which turns up your ringer volume and/or vibration.

Tasker even resets (some) changed States (attributes) automatically once the Profile goes inactive (false).

[cw-kid]

I am familiar with Tasker I do use it for some things already.

I was looking in all the various Android sound settings and notification settings etc, I thought I should be able to just exclude Telegram / CallMeBot so that when that particular app makes a notification sound or rings etc then it can do so, even if the phone is in silent or vibrate sound mode.

I spent ages looking around the settings but could not find anyway to do this.

[LibraSun]

Gotcha. And I concur that there is no such per-app setting in Android OS. Kinda boggles the mind that it doesn't exist, but c'est la vie.

@toggledbits I continue to receive email notifications from MSR (21081) containing ${{msgHead + msgBody + msgFoot}} rather than the substituted text. I know you demonstrated that it works fine on your end, so I don't want to file a PR on this, even though I'm on Synology NAS and your setup likely isn't.

Any adjustments you want me to try? Does spacing matter (e.g. ${{ msgHead + msgBody + msgFoot }} )?

[toggledbits]

Have you looked in the logs file to see if there are any errors logged with respect to the substitution? If you up the log level for Engine to 6, it will show you each substitution step as it makes it, as well.

[LibraSun]

I think I've got things sorted. (Every suggestion that there was an //error// condition among my Expressions in that particular Rule, which I ironed out.)

This begs the next question: "How best to introduce a linefeed or <CR> into one's text strings, for custom pagination/formatting?"

EXAMPLE:
The output of my SMTP message reads:
Vera says: \nMSR noticed that the Luup engine on Vera Plus just restarted.\n \nLuup engine restarted at 11:59:22 Tue 23 Mar 2021\non VeraPlus

where each instance of \n was intended to be a <br> as it behaved back in Reactor for Vera.

[toggledbits]

Coming soon. That's a change that gets done at the parser, and it implies some other issues with future localization that need to be done carefully.

[LibraSun]

On another note (please excuse the rapid-fire inquiries!):

Is there a hard-wired or practical limit to the size of objects that can be captured and stored by HTTP REQUEST GET/POST?

P.S. Really like how clicking the "Last value:" of a variable causes full contents to be selected for easy copying!

[toggledbits]

There is currently no limit on the response size, but it's probably going to get one in similar fashion to RFV.

I think it's time to close this thread and start encouraging new threads for new topics. I think this thread accomplished its mission and now seems to be meandering a bit.
