<div dir="ltr">Hi <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Michi, </span><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">just wanted to chime in that the SimplePush server does support multiple registrations like Seb has described. If your clients have WebSocket support there will only be a single WebSocket connection and messages will flow over it. You can see the information that is returned from a registration here [1], and the format of the notification is described here [2].</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">If you'd like to verify the behaviour of the SimplePush Server there is a very basic client that I use for manual testing which you can try[3]. Using your browsers debug utilities you should be able to inspect the WebSocket frames and hence the information in the registrations and notifications.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any other questions. </span></div><div>

Aerogear doesn't allow multiple channels per installation, correct? I dug up an old post from Matthias:<div>
