Need Help with A Device's Value is... Expression is True

[gbdesai]

So first of all, Easy Trigger is amazing! Helped simplify a lot of my home alerting.

I've been messing around with a new notification to remind me if I forget to plug in my Tesla when the charge is below a certain threshold (ignore the values in the image below, I set them high and the trigger time low for testing purposes).

I first started with Easy Trigger A Device's String is... but realized that I needed to test Device Value is... I want this to trigger when the device's value is either Charged, Disconnected, or Stopped. I want to use the regular expression \b(Charged|Disconnected|Stopped)\b but the option never let's me pick a device... What am I doing wrong, it just allows me to enter the regular expression. When I do the same thing with Device string, I can enter an expression but it also asks me which device I want to check that expression against... Also seems in the group option it asks for a group name for which is checks device values (I could kludge it that way with a group of one device - but really want to know how to do this the right way).

Thanks!

Regular expressions are reserved for strings not values. The expression would be something that can be evaluated true or false like x<y. There should be values for each of the status in the value status pair - x;charged, y;disconnected, z;stopped.

That makes sense. So I have to use $DVR or something like it to do a mathematical expression it seems. Will work on it later today. Thanks for your help.
