          If any of my Insteon devices have a communications failure, I have a trigger set up that fires the following macro.  This macro sends a text mesage to my phone.  Macro is:

 ph_sendsmtpemail("{EMAIL SERVER}",25,"{EMAIL ADDRESS-2}","{EMAIL TXT ADDRESS-1}","[TEMP1]","[TEMP10]")
 
 Variable [TEMP1] will say "INSTEON COMM FAIL", and variable [TEMP10] will the the insteon address of the failed device (ie 19.47.B9).
 
 Does any know how I could find insteon "ID" and "Description" corresponding to the insteon address?
 
 I want my text message to tell me it was "bathroom lts" "load bearing north switch" at address "19.47.B9".

          I'd try querying the database directly. Since you said [TEMP10] has the Insteon address, this will get you the device's ID:

    | 
      
       | ph_sql(0,"select id from insteondevices where Address='[TEMP10]'") |  |  |  
 ...and this will get you its description:

       | ph_sql(0,"select key_desc from insteondevices where Address='[TEMP10]'") |  |  |  |
