- Vladimir Tayzhev
Notifications are intended to inform the user about events occurring in the monitoring system.
To create a notification go to "Add" in the upper left corner of the interface, and select the needed element.
It is possible to add the following:

Left-click on the menu item. Fill in the form in the window that appears and press "Save".
To test the notification you can press "Send test message".

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 the 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
--
%3When 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 using 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
