I have an Insteon Motion Sensor II device and an ISY 994i/IR Pro running 5.0.14.  In the admin console I can see a battery level percentage.  I'd like to get this value sent to me via an email whenever motion is tripped (along with a notification that motion was tripped of course).  I've seen other posts asking similar questions but I don't seem to follow how to do it.  I've tried looking at this page:

https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY-994i_Series:EMail_and_Networking_Substitution_Variables

However, I don't see anything there referring to battery status.  I also tried looking at the REST options of my ISY devices here:

http://192.168.2.6/rest/nodes/

But I don't see anything indicating battery status for my motion sensor there either.  

How can I get the battery status percentage as a network substitution variable in an email?

You can do by setting a variable to the percentage. Something like this:

Set i.Bat.PorchSensor - [ID 0177][Parent 009A]

If
        'Front / PorchSensor2-Motion' Battery Level >= 0%
 
Then
        $i.Bat.PorchSensor  = 'Front / PorchSensor2-Motion' Battery Level %
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Then using User Variables as explained in the Substitution Variables wiki you can put them in an email.

I have been less than successful in getting the 2844-222 in particular to reliably report battery and temperature to my ISY at all but it works for my Z-Wave Motion Sensors.

Interesting.  I'll give it a try...
