How can I send the status of the specific offending device from a group in EasyTrig

[CountryPlace]

Trying out EasyTrigger and set up a group of all the battery operated door locks. I am using that group to check to see if any of the locks have a low battery. It works GREAT. I get a text that tells me to check the door locks. Now that I know that I have a battery issue, I would like to figure out how I can text the specific lock information. I figure that EasyTrigger must know which lock triggered the event, but I can't see how to extract that info. Is that possible?

Currently it is a one line event: IF Any device in group Locks was set and has a value that is less than 35 Send a text.....

I know I could set up 8 different events to check for battery level for each different lock, OR, I could just send the battery level for all 8 in that text, BUT, I am trying to learn EasyTrigger and would like to use that if possible.

If someone has a better solution, I am all ears. I am very new to HST and could use all the help I can get.

If you check out the EZ Trigger User Guide (From the Plug-In Menu) you'll see there are a number of Global Variables you can use.

GLOBALVAR:ETDeviceName:
GLOBALVAR:ETDeviceLocation1:
GLOBALVAR:ETDeviceLocation2:

There's a bunch of them that will allow you to identify which device in the group caused the trigger and what it's value is.

Texting might be a hassle. You'll need to setup an Email SMTP server and then send an Email to your provider's Email to Text bridge. Then it's not that instant. Might I suggest looking at the PushOver Plug-In. Direct instant messaging to your phone or device.

Here is a bit of my PushOver log on my phone.





Of course, everybody customizes PushOver to their own liking.

Also on group Triggers and Conditions you can add your own suffix to the variables for each Event.
