Good morning folks!
I just realized that I'm confused, ...ok, more than usual, even after morning coffee.
I had been using replacement variables in daily emails to myself to report on the current status of various devices - sprinkler, temperature, pool heater, garage door etc.
But I just discovered that when I use DSR, it returns whatever value is in the status text field, which is also a field that can be manually set when controlling a device in an event. And that scared me because I realized I'm not seeing the true, unadulterated value of that device, which is what I want.
I want to know the TRUE value of the pool heater switch, not the text that I may have entered there during an event.
Can you please suggest which is the best replacement variable for this purpose?
$$DSR / $$DTR / $$DVR ???
Much thanks,
