Program Comments as Custom Notification Variable


60Hz

Please add ${sys.program.#.comments} to the list of available variables for inclusion in the Subject and Body fields of Custom Notifications.

 

Currently I use several programs on the ISY to send custom notification messages (via SMTP e-mail) to a local Linux server whenever I need to execute complicated home automation tasks which are more suitably handled with a scripting language in the Linux environment. On my system, these tasks include:

  • Control of my Denon receiver
  • Control of my Dune media player
  • Automated audio announcements on an overhead speaker
  • Turning power-over-ethernet ports on/off using a managed switch

The ability to include the comment text from ISY Programs in custom notifications would greatly simplify interprocessor messaging and would eliminate the need to create separate custom notifications with hard-coded phrases in the body.

I'm very interested in this too :)

 

What does "#154" refer to?  Presumably an issue number on some sort of bug tracker - couldn't find it via the support page tho...

 

Thanks!
