Pete, can you give 3.3.4 in the updater a try. It now supports regular expressions. Prefix any regex with the "^" character.
So to exactly match "Lamp on" use "^^[Ll]amp on"
(first ^ to show it's a regex, second ^ is part of the regex to match from the beginning)
See here for a regex builder/tester

I have a problem with plugin
When my modem disconnects from my HS and the com port is not available ( ( either I disconnect the hardware manually or accidentally or there is software problem)
I get this error message in log"
Error sending SMS - not connected to modem/phone - restart Plugin or wait for reconnect attempt
There is no reconnection attempt in log any more and the plugin doesn't restart itself automatically ,I must manually restart the plugin to bring it to work again
If there was a Auto-Restart and Auto-send the message in the plug-in in case of this error or other errors like this then the plug in then its more reliable in security cases

The plugin retries 3 times to reconnect before giving up (in the latest version). Because there is no sure way to tell if the modem is connected or not, I have to wait for watchdog time out and then publish the error to the log. There are a lot of challenges to constantly polling a COM port for connectivty. Filling the log, interfering with other applications trying to access the COM port. Slowing down HS3 overall, etc.
I'll put it on the backlog and see what can be done for more reliable reconnects.
One option in the short term is to use a combination of a script to check for a disconnect and then use Jon00's plugin to restart the plugin on a regular interval to see if connectivity has been restored. It's a hack, but it may suit your needs in the interim.Author of Highpeak Plugins | SMS-Gateway Plugin | Blue Iris Plugin | Paradox (Beta) Plugin | Modbus Plugin | Yamaha Plugin
