Greetings excellent Hubitat Community, & Staff!
I have searched (maybe wrong search terms) both our Community & documentation, w no luck. I did find [jshimota] post (& a couple others), asking same question, but not really answered.
I know the usual ones: %device%, %value%, %time%, %now%, and %date%.
Are there others? Or a list?
Simply trying to plop in the DAY of the week (e.g. Tuesday or Sunday) in a simple notification.
Thanks very much!
Bill
The full list is displayed in the apps themselves, in the context where they are available, namely sending a message or notification:

Bruce...... thanks very much!!!
Was hoping there may be more.
Just trying to return the "day".
Thanks again. Bill
If you have webcore you can create hub variables and then use the Webcore constants to fill them. That's what I do for a DayofWeek string and a DayofWeekNum integer.

Evening @terminal3 Terminal3,
Thanks very much for the added help!
I don't have webcore, but I have read a bit about it. I suspect I may have to look into that in the future.
There is an incredible amount to learn in general, which I am happy about.

Not very elegant, but you could set a variable to the day of the week in the following way:
The completed rule would look like this:
Then you can use the %Day% variable you created as part of your notification.

I am def going to give that a try.

Man... you guys must HATE beginners!
So....... I cant find the correct choices to "set" a variable, such as "set day to" or set DayofWeekstr".
I am probably in the wrong area, but I've poked around everywhere (except the correct place, of course).
Sorry!
P.S. I know I can create a Hub Global value, which I did, but cant seem how to get it into a rule.
thanks

OK.... I found my issue....... I had to close everything out, & sort of restart the rule, to get either local variables or GV to show for choices.
I apologize, & have given myself a dumb dumb slap.
Thanks
