PLEG variable with SendAlert (with VeraAlerts) on advanced tab

Plugins & Plugin Development Program Logic (PLEG)

Hi folks,

On my system:
Vera3 1.5.622
PLEG/PLC v7.27
VeraAlerts Plugin v5.6
VeraAlerts mobile Android app v3.32 (n/a for this problem)
Test PLEG Status.pdf (attached)

I’m looking for a way to send an alert to a VeraAlerts Pushover profile using a PLEG property as a variable. I tried using the VeraAlerts mobile Android app, but it didn’t work (although may be coming soon if I’m reading Richard’s notes right)

PLEG & VeraAlerts will send the following properly:

Message={device=GalaxyS4}Location{url=http://www.well-formed-url)} Recipients=PushoverChrisFace

I need to use a variable for the url= parameter, so I tried this

Message={device=GalaxyS4}Location{url=(pMapURL)} Recipients=PushoverChrisFace

This does not work. The pushover app on my Android device formats the link as: Open (pMapURL).

Is my syntax wrong, or will my current versions of PLC & VeraAlerts not allow this. OR is there a luup statement I can include in the advanced tab of the PLEG Actions?

My idea is to send periodic iPad location links with a Google Maps URL.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Chris

For Expansion of a PLEG Expression you need to add the following into an Action argument (Like Vera Alerts)

 {(ExpressionToEvaluate)}

Message={device=GalaxyS4}Location{url={(pMapURL)}} Recipients=PushoverChrisFace

Thank you Richard, that did the trick!
