Variables in Vera and conditional events?

Can anyone tell me if I can create generic devices within Vera, assign a single variable name or multiple variables without having to learn how to write Luup code?

I will learn it if I have to, but I don’t really have lot’s of time!

Also, can the current firmware create events based on a variable being above or below a certain value? Future firmware?

I am trying to bring industrial data from machinery into the system so that Vera can notify me if something is not running correctly.

Thanks

Imagine if all the system in our home could be displayed in this fashion!
