What is the meaning of Sensor/Source/ID in log?

Votes:

0

I found Sensor/Source/ID in log e.g. : State Trigger activated (Sensor/Source/ID: 80757/63977/1)

I know the meaning of "Sensor" is sensor ID number. But I cannot found what is "Source" number and "ID" I guess ID is the channel number of sensor, but I found the channel number is not exist. Thanks.

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

"Sensor" is the ID of the sensor (of course....^^), while "Source" is the ID where the trigger is originating from, meaning when the ID of "Sensor" and "Source" are different, the sensor is using an inherited notification trigger that is originally set on "Source". You can use the search in the upper right corner to look up those IDs.

"ID" is not an assigned object-id per se, it is to differentiate when there is more than one notification trigger on a sensor.

Kind regards,

Erhard
