8.2.17 Using Variables in Notifications
Variables can also be useful when sending notifications. Say you have a variable that you
use to count the number of times a motion sensor is trigged overnight. You could send
yourself an email in the morning telling you how many times it was triggered.
Your notification might look like this:

8.3 Notifications
Using Programs, you can configure the ISY to send you notifications via text message or
email. For example, the ISY could notify you if your thermostat drops below or above a
pre-defined temperature, when motion is detected in an area of your home, or when your
garage door opens unexpectedly.
8.3.1 Adding Recipients & Changing Server Settings
To configure recipients of these notifications, click on the Administrative Console’s
Configuration tab, choose the Emails/Notifications sub-tab, then the Settings/Groups tap
below that.
On the bottom portion of the screen, labeled Groups, hit the Add button to create a Group
and add recipient information. Simply name your group, then hit the field under the
Recipient column to edit the recipients. A group can contain one or more recipients that
you would like to notify.
