Variable syntax for Lumens

[Techman]

What is the correct variable syntax to use in an email to display the LUMENS from an Aeotec Multisensor 6

[Chris Jahn]

Hi Techman,

You would use ${sys.node.ZW001_1.LUMIN}

We need to update the Substitution Variables Wiki, but the status names page contains all supported names.

Be aware that lumin(ance) is measured in lux, not lumens. Lumen is a measurement of total illumination over the total area.

aaaargh!! That should be Lux, not Lumen. Sensors cannot measure Lumens without area measurements and calculations.. **SIGH**

LUMIN is short for the status name Luminance, Lux is the unit of measure of the value that may be stored for that status.

Hi Chris

Thank you. It would be great that if in your "spare time" both the Substitution Variables and the Error Code list in the Wiki could be updated. The only place I didn't look was in the developers section.

Actually I just updated the substitution variable list.
