Documentation on the %device% and other predefined variables

Referencing this post here Wait for (the lack of) event - RM5? - #2 by bertabcd1234 regarding the use of of %device%, it's piqued my interest in what else %device% and other predefined variables can store as to date I have only used it occasionally.

I haven't been able to find any substantive docs/writeups on these though - can anyone point me to them?

The rest of this document is a bit outdated now that there are hub variables (replacing the concept of global variables in Rule Machine), but the part on "special" variables is still correct: Rule Machine Global Variables

This normally refers to the triggering event, though changes have been made recently where waits can also affect at least %device% (as I mentioned in the thread you referenced).

Thanks - time for some new experimentation!
