Custom Attribute mail notification
You have to use an alarm attribute to generate an event and notification.
i have generated an alarm, but the type of alarms i can select are predefined, tried tamper, vibration, etc
i think im missing some info
You can either use tampering or removing alarm.
tried both, no results.
i dont see how computed attributes are linked to attributes in notification, but here is an image of what my device reports in attribute interface
the value is 0.41, that means its under the car, if the value goes up, like over 1, means someone disconnected the magnets or device fall off somehow, its a tamper/tilt based on a light sensor, because the sensor is on the magnets part of the device, when sticked to some metal the light sensor illuminance value is almost at 0.03
Your computed attribute expression is incorrect. First of all, the attribute should be lower-camel-case. Secondly, I don't think the syntax is correct. Please make sure you read all the relevant documentation and test your expression before requesting further help.
solved, i got the expression and seems ok, still testing, if everything is ok ill write down the steps
Hi Adrianr, Had you resolved the Light Tamper expression issue? If yes, can you please add here expression and steps to test light/illuminance. Thanks
hi
created a computed attribute, set the attribute to Alarm, expression if (illuminance <= 1) { null; } else {'tampering';}, type string, then i created a notification type Alarm, all devices, Alarms: selected the tampering one created above, channels: mail
GPS device has some light tamper module, in the left panel i have the attribute named : Illuminance, its value changes from 0 to 6 or more, when 0 to 1 the gps is ok, if higher than 1 means the gps either fall off or someone removed it.
Anyway, how and where can i insert that value to get email notification. i searched the forums for this but cant find a proper solution.
What i did so far, created a computed attribute with Description: LightTamper, Attribute: alarm, expression: if (Illuminance <=1.0 && Illuminance >=0.1) { null; } else {'GPS lost or disconnected from the car';} , type: string
thank you
