route devices as variables to actions

I have 10 insteon motion sensors. Each sends a low battery signal when batteries get low. Right now I have to make 10 triggers to send me an email (to my todo app) individually. I'd like some sort of macro, like

WHEN [any motion sensor] ON - 3 "Low Battery" EXECUTE ACTION "Send Email to" (address) "subject" DEVICE NAME + "battery low"

Surely this can be done somehow?

Would you mind sharing how you got the Insteon Motion Sensors to identify their battery levels?
This was a bit more obvious when setting up the Z-Wave sensors.

Insteon motion sensors send a low battery message. Set up a trigger on insteon motion sensor, select "on", select " 3 - low battery" in the next dropdown menu. Easy as that.

So it looks like the answer is no and I had to just make 10 duplicate actions.

Have a look at the Group Trigger plugin. Should do what you want.
