Hi, getting a fcm server error and not receiving alerts anymore. Is this a problem on my side or is it general due to zmeventnotification EOL? Below is the error in zmeventnotification.log:
fcmv1: FCM push message error

Zmninja went end of life. Asker deactivated his fcm cloud server. This is expected behavior. You can spin up your own instance or, I think ic0n has set up zoneminders own fcm instance. See the zoneminder forum post about zmninja end of life, I think there are instructions on setting up your own fcm server.
Another option is to use the pushhapi_pushover.py script provided in ZMES to use pushover as the push notification client.

Wanted to share an alternative solution that can be of interest to everyone : using MQTT and homebridge, I managed to have all the cameras (zoneminder stream) in iOS Homekit with zmeventnotification events being reported via MQTT. Works well.
@mfauvain , can you expand on if your homebridge setup gets APNS push notifications? I'm assuming you use https://github.com/Sunoo/homebridge-camera-ffmpeg or https://github.com/seydx/homebridge-camera-ui to view ZM cameras. ZMeventnotification sends messages to mosquitto or embedded mqtt server in homebridge, how does that translate to a push notification on your device?
yeah, using https://github.com/Sunoo/homebridge-camera-ffmpeg and zmeventnotification MQTT. However, zmevent output has to be parsed and re-contributed to mqtt so that homebridge camera plugin 'reads' it correctly. I use mqtt-launcher and a python script to parse the zmevent json. With this, alerts popup on iPhone. I also use a MQTT daemon on my laptop so I receive alerts + images here also. Hope this helps.
