Update: now received 8 message in total which were not mine. And still can’t access dashboard
I’ve experienced this myself. I often get multiple notifications in a day, sometimes within minutes, sometimes within hours when no activity is occurring on my OpenHAB installation. It appears that the last valid notification sent keeps getting sent over and over again. It seems to correlate with updates occurring on the could service (maintenance, upgrades etc), although i have no evidence to support this, just a hunch.
It’s hard to complain given this is a free service, but is the biggest factor for me looking to move to another solution that is either paid or does not require a cloud service for notifications.
There are all sorts of alternative services that OH works with for alerting. Almost every add-on listed under Actions is for an alerting service. I know a lot of people like PushBullet and Telegram.
Hi all, i will take a look at the notifications again today and try and understand what is going on.

Thanks - I’ll take a look!
Hi, I’ve started getting notifications on my phone that definitely do not originate from my installation. However two other devices with openhab installed have not.
Continuing the discussion from Receiving notifications via openHAB Cloud not originating from my installation:
Hi,
for me it started a few days ago. I get a few Notifications on a Samsung S8 with Android 8 a day. Mostly it’s in swedish or another nordic language, sometimes it’s in english (I got a message in the morning: “Time to wake up”).
If needed I can capture a screenshot next time it happens.
I can’t see these notifications in myopenhab control panel.
Very strange.
Greetings
Sebastian
Hello!
I can’t help about this issue, but, if I’m not mistaken, @digitaldan should know more about the problem. If I’ve tagged the wrong person, sorry for disturbing you 
Best regards,
Davor
Thanks guys. It happened again two times this afternoon. In the notification area of the app I only see the connect messages, nothing else. And these are really old.
And now right after going to bed:
That is creepy
good night
Hi,
today I have also received multiple push messages on the Android app definitely not originating from my system. In the notification area of the app I only see very old connect messages (from February), just as kovu94 described.
@digitaldan Is this issue still ongoing? If you need more info to be able to troubleshoot, please let me know.
Thanks & regards,
Matt
Similar problem here: i receive notification on a different openhab mobile. I have one iphone configured for openhab home installation, and on openhab test at work with samsung mobile device. When something happen to home i receive notification on my samsung device. I can suppose notification mistakes usernames similar?
For everybody experiencing this, there is already a gihub issue for this:
Today i received this notification. Its not created by my openhab. The issue is closed. Can someone have a eye on it again? Screenshot_20190318-123023~(1)|690x244
I had a similar happening today where I received a notification not originating from my installation in a foreign language (føler 2 har det pisse varmt / “Sensor 2 is piss hot”).
At the time I didnt know was happening (security breach?) and shutdown my RPi. The myopenhab-portal doesnt show the particular message in the archives. When at home I will bootup and have a look at the local logs, but based on the above I dont expect to find anything.
Edit: layout
I will take a look. Good news is its not a security breach, nor does it allow access to your openHAB. There was an issue in the past where the wrong Android/IOS push notification key was stored for a user under high load, resulting in messages going to another device. I will see if this has had a regression.

Just to add to this, at 5:00pm in place of my regular notification signalling the start of a timer, I received something in different language.
Achtung Fredi ROLLO hoch!
instead of
Timer 3: airconditioner OFF rule is running.
This happened yesterday as well however I accidentally cleared the contents. I do remember it also was in place of a scheduled notification so from my perspective somehow the usual notification is being replaced with some other contents.
Thanks for investigating
No, not the message is replaced, the server is mixing up which message to send WHERE. The issue is looked on and it is NOT a security breach.
Not sure if this is still happening for anyone else, but it’s happened three times for me between yesterday and today.
It happened also to me 8h ago, I received a push notification in deutsch language while my settings is italian. Also I’m not able to reach myopenhab cloud service.
The “false notifications” problem is being looked on.
What do you mean “can’t reach the myopenhab” service?
Unable to log into myopenhab.org website
The app (iOS or android) can’t connect remotely (I.e. through myopenhab.org)
Both are unrelated to the notification problem.
The Status page doesn’t report any issue today!
