Why no %text% for the Zooz ZEN ZSE29 outdoor motion detector?

Curious, why no %text% in the notifications?
It works on a Hue motion.
Thanks.
edit: RM also only provides 'null'

(latest beta on a C-8, not that it likely makes a difference)

Guessing that the driver isn't filling the the description text.

This depends on the driver and what it sets as the descriptionText property for the event. Often, it's a human-friendly string of the device name, attribute name, and new value. But it's optional and can be blank. Sounds like that's what's happening for the device you're using. (You can check the "Events" history of the device to be sure.)

You can get similar text, assuming the conventional behavior described above, by using something like "%device% is %value%", which works in all cases.

Thanks, guys; very helpful.
I think I can use one notifier rule now for 3 detectors.
First time I'm using a log file.
Notifier app makes the log easy, along with the reporting time frame, compared to RM, which I haven't, and likely won't, :slight_smile: , try to figure out.
This relates to my recent 'deer detection project', lol.
