Motion sensor & REGEX & MQTT

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

I have a motion sensor that publishes its states to a MQTT broker. There a two possible messages:

alarm: HomeSecurity: Motion Detection - Unknown Location
alarm: HomeSecurity: Event cleared: Motion Detection - Unknown Location, arg 0108

I am trying set up a text (string) on my sitemap for testing purposes that either shows

‘Motion detected’
‘No motion detected’

Item:

String eg_flur_multiSensor “Bewegungsmelder” {mqtt=“<[mosquitto:eg/flur/multiSensor:state:MAP(multiSensor_configBinding.map)]”}

.map file

alarm: HomeSecurity: Motion Detection - Unknown Location=Motion detected
alarm: HomeSecurity: Event cleared: Motion Detection - Unknown Location, arg 0108=No motion detected

sitemap:

sitemap test label=“Test-Umgebung” {

Frame label="Flur" {
    Text item=eg_flur_multiSensor
}

}

This is not working, and apparently the mapping isn’t done correctly as one can see in the log:

2017-07-08 22:01:57.924 [WARN ] [rm.AbstractFileTransformationService] - Could not transform ‘alarm: HomeSecurity: Motion Detection - Unknown Location’ with the file ‘multiSensor_configBinding.map’ : Target value not found in map for ‘alarm: HomeSecurity: Motion Detection - Unknown Location’

I guess I need to change the mapping using some regular expressions. However, I am not familiar with regex. Anybody out there with a solution?

Guys, how can I map one string (sentence) to another string (sentence). Is using a .map-file the right way to do it? How should it look like? I need your help, please.
