bw23198 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) 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? -Brian Edited November 26, 2018 by bw23198 1 Link to comment

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.
