Correct Syntax for "send a log message" in rules

Dear all, can anybody send an example who to fill in

I try several “Xx” as in the pic without “” … and soon. But can’t find out

So how is the correct syntax.

What ever i type in: for example:

I always get the error:

HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR

BlockquoteGetting handler ‘notification.SendLogNotification’ for module ‘5’ failed: Param ‘message’ should be of type String.

Thank you for yor help

Cheers Stef

System … openhabian 4.2.1 on raspberry … should be notnessesary for a correct syntax

I don’t think actions with arguments work with plain UI rules. For not you’ll have to use an inline script to call the action from code. Blockly is a great option.

Bad … very bad news!

I guess the Loginfo should wipe out of the offers!
it cost users only time for anything

sorry oh goes to unusable more and more!

I give up

I suppose we could just go back to having only text file based configs with no UI at all. Why bother trying to make OH more user friendly when any slight inconveniences caused by a not yet completely implemented feature (an undocumented and not advertised feature one might add) causes users to rage quit.

I mean, what good is:

  • auto discovery of compatible add-ons
  • auto creation of Things
  • auto generation of the overview tabs
  • ability to create Items from a Thing all in one go
  • very simple rules don’t require any coding
  • Blockly for users who don’t already know how to code more complicated rules
  • rule templates
  • marketplace
  • openHABian

What good are all these in the face of not being able to log something from a simple UI rule action yet. It’s obvious the developers don’t care about usability at all and have done nothing to improve it in the decade OH has been around.

[For those who can’t tell, the above is dripping with sarcasm and my intent is to put the original complaint in context.]

It is actually supported if you chose the one with tag / severity

Weird that the other one doesn’t even ask for the message.

This is indeed a bug. Fix:
