BI Tools; list of variables?

[marklyn]

Is there a comprehensive list of all of the variables that can be used in Blue Iris Tools?
I looked around in the app and searched here but came up empty.
I'd like to add solar UV and solar radiation but I'd also like to see all of the variables list anyway.

I think you are looking for ‘macros’

A comprehensive list appears in the ‘Timecode and other macros’ section in ‘Alerts & actions’ chapter in the help PDF (EDIT: Blue Iris app, Question mark icon).

Custom macros may also be defined using HTTP interface command /admin?macro=x&text={text}, which sets macro number x=1-999 to value {text}.

Yes, probably macros. I want to add UV and Solar radiation now that I have the sensors.
I looked at every button and under every menu tab in BI tools, didn't see a help PDF.

ahhh, but your reply made me look closer at another location in BI Tools, under the macros, so I found what I need. Thanks!

Oh. I wouldn't have expected it there. Thanks.

Ahh yes, the good 'ol days when you'd press 'f1' for help, only to be presented with a window that merely states: "pressing 'f1' will show help content". Many programs have improved their "help" content since then, but I still find myself thinking of it after the fact because of all the previous experiences with it failing to deliver anything.
