Mouse Trap Alert
I have to put mouse traps up in my attic. It's rather a pain to have to check on them all the time so I wanted to create an alert with ESP Easy. I was hoping I might outline what my goals are and see if anyone has built something like this before so I could learn from others. It has been awhile sinc...

Re: Project punching bag
Could I please get an example of how I would update a customer var via command? Also, possibly an example of using that same var inside of a call? Odds are I would be making a REST call so I would need to update a URL parameter. Thank you!
