Macros in the notification text
The text of the message can include macros. Macros have the following form:
%{number of macro}
When notification is created the system replaces the macros variables with actual values.
The following macros are available:
| Macro | Description |
|---|---|
| %1 | description of the logic scheme that has triggered |
| %2 | readings of sensors in the logic scheme |
| %3 | logic scheme response time |
| %4 | name of logic scheme |
| %5 | name of the sensor which triggered the logic scheme |
| %6 | state of the sensor in the logic scheme that has triggered |
| %7 | the value measured by the sensor or logic level |
Example. If the text has the following form:
%4 -- %1 -- %2 -- %3
When logic is triggered and the notification is sent, the recipient will see a message in the following form:
Logic scheme name -- if 'S/N iButton'(id=13) in state 'alarm', then 'Email'(id=302) changes to state 'on' immediately 'Relay-0'(id=31) changes to state 'pulse' immediately -- 'S/N iButton'(id=13) in state 'alarm' -- 12:40:36 2012/01/18
We recommend to use a more informative form of message, by default it is written in the following form:
Logic %4: -- Defintion: %1 Current sensor state: %2 -- System time: %3
