Can the Message function pass along HS variables?

[tmcgowan]

I'd like to run an event to pass along the contents of a HS device (incoming phone number) when the event is triggered by HSPhone's ability to recognize when the phone is ringing. I can get the event to trigger properly, but I haven't been able to figure out how to pass along the information.

Any thoughts?

Todd,

The "SageMessage" action in an event does not have a way to pass it a variable. However, you can change the event to perform a RunScript action and create a short script.

See the example below. If you need help getting access to your specific variable, let me know and I will be glad to try to help.

Thanks!

Sub Main
    dim varStatus
    dim varText

    varStatus=hs.DeviceStatus("A1")

    if varStatus = 2 then
       varText = "ON"
    else
       varText = "OFF"
    end if 

    hs.writelog "Script","varText = " + varText 
    hs.plugin("InControl_Sage").SendSageMessageByID "1000_1","Message from HomeSeer - Device is " + varText 
End Sub

lamanmi, if you want to integrate my EXPR-function seen in the TwittSeer plugin, just let me know and I'll send it to you.
