Low Battery Trigger

In my Log I see a Door Sensor Low Battery note from an Insteon Door Sensor. Is there a way to get that message to trigger an action like sending me an email?

Re: Low Battery Trigger

Create an Insteon Command Received trigger, select door sensor, then select Received On Group 3 (low battery)

And one more option is to create a trigger that fires every time the battery reserve changes, and then set the Condition to Device- Battery Level is less than xx%, and then have Indigo send you a text message or an email...

Insteon devices don't report actual battery levels - they only broadcast a message when a battery gets low (and those aren't particularly reliable).
