Using SHM current state in SMS


#1

Is it possible to get and use the SHM current state in a Push or SMS message.

I’m trying to use something like: SHM current state is {[$currentDeviceEvent:status]}

But not having any luck. Thoughts?

Try $shmStatus

Never tried it but should work :slight_smile:

Awesome, that did work! Thanks!

Cool! If you can spare a minute please use the solution button on the right post so users with the same issue in the future can quickly identify the solution.

This is a short thread, I concede, but I’m trying to start the trend :slight_smile:

Super simple, but allows me to know when the Alarm is changed outside by Home Alarm Piston

You can also use {$location} to get an update on the location mode (if people are in the house or not)
