Weird characters in device status variable

Featured Replies

Posted

I'm getting some weird characters when I send an alert using the device status from several of my Insteon modules. I have the following in the alert:

 

Water sensor ST = ${sys.node.1D 1 11 1.ST}

 

When I run a program which uses this customized content, I get the following in the email content:

 

Water sensor ST = €€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€On

The status on the end is correct.

 

The same characters appear when displaying the status (ST) on the following modules:

2450 IOLinc V41

EZIO6I VFF

2476S switch

2420M motion detector

 

... but NOT on my 2491T thermostat. I get the proper Thermostat ST=21.00.

 

Does anyone have and idea why I get the weird characters?

Thanks, Ken
