How to insert {New Line} characters into email sent the eisy?

[Frank_YYZ]

I've recently switched to the eisy from the isy993 and have noticed that the email messages sent by the eisy are not formatted the same as my emails from the isy.

I have several Insteon water sensors and open/close sensors and, if any of them have not sent a heartbeat in the last day, I send out a daily email reminder showing me which ones are not working.

 

The contents of the email Customization page is shown below.   The isy produced a nicely formatted message, one sensor per line.  However the eisy puts everything on one line and is virtually unreadable.  Sample daily messages are shown below.

 

I tried to force <new line> insertion adding {nl} or ${nl} to the end of each line.  That didn't work, but I'm totally guessing here! 

 

Can anyone tell me how to insert a new-line into an email output message?  Is there a complete list of pseudo-ops somewhere?

Or maybe UDI can fix things so that the eisy more closely mimics the isy?

NOTE: I don't know if this makes any difference, but I used a Google server to send my old isy notifications.  However, using the exact same values didn't work on the eisy.  So I used the "Default" settings. (UDI server.)  They worked first time so I never pursued the matter of getting my Google email server working.

Regards,

Frank

 

 

 

Appearance of old daily email from isy993:

2024/01/05 12:59:00 Heartbeat for a Wireless Sensor not received when expected. Check sensor / battery.

Time since last heartbeat received:

1 Sump Pump ................. 0 days
2 Main Valve ................... 0 days
3 Furnace Room ............. 0 days
4 Kitchen Sink ................. 0 days
5 Condensate Pump ....... 0 days
6 Fridge .......................... 20 days
6 Raccoon Trap .............. 0 days

 

New daily email from eisy:

 2024/06/20 12:59:00  Heartbeat for a Wireless Sensor not received when expected. Check sensor / battery.  Time since last heartbeat received:  1 Sump Pump ................. 0 days{nl} 2 Main Valve ................... 0 days ${nl} 3 Furnace Room ............. 0 days 4 Kitchen Sink ................. 0 days 5 Condensate Pump ....... 0 days 6 Fridge .......................... 9 days 6 Raccoon Trap .............. 0 days   

 

By the way, the failed "Fridge" sensor is, I believe, an Insteon issue.  It is a new Rev 3.0 device and I can't get it to send heartbeat messages.  I have a second new, Rev 3.0 device that does exactly the same thing.  All my older devices have worked fine for years.  I will eventually get around to contacting Insteon about this.

Use HTML instead  of text

For line feeds insert <BR> at the end of the line.

Well, that worked like a charm!

 

Thanks Techman.
