Get Attribute of Device Triggering the Event

[cdikland]

I have a rule that contains multiple devices (switches) that could trigger the the Actions when the "ON" event occurs. Within the Actions I would like to assign a variable to a specific attribute of the device that triggered the event. While the option to assign a variable to a device attribute is there, one must select the device(i.e. vSiren_Cuckoo) . The resulting statement then would be:
Set soundNum to vSiren_Cuckoo soundNumber

This wont work for me because I do not know which device has/will trigger the on event. What I need for this rule might look something like:
Set soundNum to %device.attributeName%
I hope this makes sense and ask if this possible in RM or do I have to develop my own groovy app?

RM doesn't handle this case.

Maybe this helps:

Momentary triggers, specific triggers, generic triggers in webCoRE

Many triggers in webCoRE are tracking, ie the trigger comparison compares to previous values. Examples include: examples include: changes*, drops*, rises*, remains*, stays*, range*, becomes* All of above are comparing the attribute value vs. previous values. For the above, the device's attribute value is persistent within the piston, ie you can compare it to previous values to understand both if it changed and if changed in the way you want to analyze. Momentary device triggers There ar…

ie you can write generic code to deal with many different devices / attributes / values

I meant to respond when you first posted this question, by suggesting a series of simple conditionals of this form:

The 'trick' here is capturing the triggering Device into a local RM variable, to test against. You could have multiple IF-THEN's to account for each possible Trigger Event.
