In an automation, you can retrieve the friendly_name of the triggering device using:
{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }}
Helpful if an automation can be triggered by different devices (e.g. garage door 1 or garage door 2) and you want to send a notification that explicitly names the triggering device:
- service: notify.ALL_DEVICES
data:
title: Garage open!
message: >-
{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }} is open
const cds = require('@sap/cds');
module.exports = async srv => {
const { Objects } = srv.entities // entities from myService.cds
srv.on("myAction", async req => {
const query = SELECT.one.from(Objects).where({ id: req.data.myId })
const srv = await cds.connect.to('myService')
const data = await srv.run(query)
console.log(data)
return data
})
srv.on("READ", Objects, async req => {
console.log("Objects called")
// Select data from db or forward query to external system
// ...
// return data
})
}
