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.

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!
