Questions:
1) where is the list of "replacers" that can be used in custom messages? I've found these in various places, {time}, {message}, {arm_type}, {status}, {zone}, {zone_name}, but no master listing. I read in the forums that they should appear in a tooltip when creating a custom message but I see no button to create a custom message, only edit existing ones, and no tooltips appear when editing.
2) I set up some overlapping notifications, where an event would trigger more than one notification. However, the event only triggers one notification (seems to be the one lowest in the list of notifications). Is this the expected behavior? If so, how is notification precedence controlled by the user? Simply by putting higher priority notifications lower in the list? EDIT: This works as expected, triggering multiple messages if appropriate. I wasn't seeing the difference between the enabled/disabled check marks by a message.
Problems:
1) trying to set my 3rd alarm panel button in Settings>Keypad Settings>Special Buttons to "panel default" instead of "medical" throws an error:

The debugger caught an exception in your WSGI application. You can now look at the traceback which led to the error.
2) In Notifications, under the action column, it looks as though you could enable/disable notifications by clicking on the checkmark, which calls "https://x.x.x.x/settings/notifications/[notification#]/toggle". However, clicking this doesn't toggle the checkmark to something else, and the notification still occurs. I didn't see that the toggle was changing check color only. That and/or a reboot seems to have remedied this and it now works as expected.
Not sure:
Settings > Advanced > Diagnostics shows some packages missing.
-- cffi
-- usb
-- miniupnpc
-- pycparser
-- pyftdi
There were many more missing on the original raspian image downloaded from alarmdecoder, these are what remained after the webapp notified me there were updates to the webapp and the library and I installed those (through the webapp). I tried installing these remaining missing modules with sudo pip install [pkg], but that caused the webapp to no longer work even after reboot, what is proper way to add these missing packages (and is this necessary)?
For the future?
I'm running this concurrent with ADT Pulse. Pulse gets messages on disarm that show which user disarmed the system (as a number) and on the Pulse site you can associate this user number with a name so the Pulse alert shows both user# and user name. It would be nice if AD were able to do this.
The Pulse site is also able to distinguish between arm away and arm stay; perhaps I've confirmed that the replacer {arm_type} in the "arm" message can be used to accomplish this.
Again, many thanks to the alarmdecoder folks for this product.
