${SENSORLUID}
The locally unique ID of the sensor 
generating the alert. 
TEMP1 
${SENSORGUID}
The globally unique ID of the sensor 
generating the alert. 
B000113_TEMP1 
${ALERTTYPE}
The type of alert. 
HIGHERR 
${SENSORTYPE} 
The type of sensor generating the alert.  TEMP
${EVENTID}
The unique 16 character identifier 
shared by all messages generated as a 
result of a single alert notification 
event. For example, if an appliance 
generates an alert notification when 
the internal temperature sensor 
threshold is exceeded, and then 
generates a “return to normal” 
message when the temperature drops 
below the high threshold, both of these 
messages will have the same Event ID 
number. However, if the temperature 
rises again and a second threshold 
exceeded alert is generated, the second 
alert will have a new Event ID.
3E4512C0FE03440F
${SENSORVAL}
The value reported by the sensor that 
is generating the alert.
60
${ALERTTIME}
The date and time at which the alert 
notification was generated.
