Creating notifications

Notification types

General

Notifications are intended to inform the user about events occurring in the monitoring system.

Attention! Sending a notification is carried out only in groups of elements, or using logic schemes

To create a notification, push the button " " inside the "System tree" menu. Then choose an element to add. A modal window will appear.

It is possible to add the following notifications:

Macros in the notification text

The text of the message can include multiple macros. Macross has the following form:

%{number of macros}

When notification is created the system replaces the macros variables with actual values.

The following macros are available:

Macros	Description

Macros	Description
%1	description of the logic scheme that has triggered Displayed example: If 'Onboard temperature' (id=201001) is state 'alarm' then 'Device5' (id=601001) changes state 'on' immidiatly, ev
%2	Description of all sensors in the logic scheme and their sensor state when the logic was triggered. Displayed example: 'Onboard Temperature' (id=201001) in state 'normal' 'Temperature2' (id=201002) in state 'normal'
%3	logic scheme response time Displayed example: 08:16:46 2018/09/05
%4	name of the logic scheme Displayed example: 'Logic scheme 3'
%5	name of the sensor which triggered the logic scheme
%6	state of the sensor in the logic scheme that has triggered the logic at the moment when this logic was triggered
%7	the value measured by the sensor or logic level that has triggered the logic scheme at the moment when it was triggered
%8	sensor ID that triggered the operation of the logic circuit

Example

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

Further description

We recommend to use a more informative form of message by additional text as an explanation. For example,

Default macros

Macroses %5, %6, %7 can parameterize by element identifier {id}, i.e. for these macros may set the element for which will be evaluated macros.

Macross evaluated example:

If an element with the specified identifier is not found in the text of the message is inserted - 'id = xxxx not found'.

If the parameter {id} is not specified, in the text of the message is inserted the calculated value for the element that is triggered by logical scheme.

Since version 2.4.4, the macro %8 is available. The macro% 8 is used to determine the identifier of the sensor when the logic scheme is triggered. In the body of the message, the identifier is displayed in single quotes (example: '302014').

The macro %8 can be used to determine the identifier of the sensor when the logic scheme is triggered by a change in the state of the group, module, or system.

Suppose there is a logical scheme linking the group state change with the sending of the notification. At the initial time, all elements in the group are in a normal state. The group is also in a normal state. The logic is inactive.

Next, one of the sensors in the group is triggered. Accordingly, the group also goes into an alarm state. The logic circuit is activated according to the state of operation of the group. Under the template, the text is formed and the notification is sent.

In this case, when creating the notification text macros %5, %6 will be replaced with the name and status of the group. The macro %8 will be replaced by the value of the identifier of the triggered sensor within the triggered group.

This means that if the element changed state, then the group, module, or system into which this element is included also changes state when the state of the element changes and the group's state change results in the triggering of the logic, macro %8 in the message template will be replaced with the identifier of that element.

Attention! The value of macro %8 is calculated at the time the logic circuit is triggered. The activation of other elements with the activated logic scheme does not change the value of the identifier in the macro %8

Example:

Macros %8 can be used as a parameter of macros %5, %6, and %7.
