I know I could write a trigger for each of my elk inputs
(and that may not be such a bad idea), but I was wondering
if there was a trigger that would fire on any Elk input
changing, and perhaps it writes the input number/name to a
global temp?
The reason why I ask is I want to have PH send me an email
when the alarm sounds, and I'd like it to contain the zone
that triggered the alarm in the body of the email.

You may have already seen this post link.
This is what I had to do to be able to find out what zone actually tripped.
Hope this helps.

Hmm... the [TEMP10] did not work.
I had a line in a macros like this:
ph_sendsmtpemail("smtp.east.cox.net", 25, "{SKIP_HOME_EMAIL}", "{SKIP_CELL_EMAIL}", "ALARM SOUNDING" + " " + "[TEMP10]", "The Alarm is
Sounding." + " " +
"[TEMP10]")
And all I got was "ALARM SOUNDING 1"

Gibbage,
I revisited at my implementation of this.....hope this helps you....
Just to be clear...I set up a couple of elk zones as Digital I/O, INPUT type, zones.
As a side note, these same zones are also still set us as Analog I/O, MULTI-STATE INPUTS...ie, regular elk zones.
I then have a trigger that calls a macro.
The trigger is:
trigger type:Digital In
trigger ID:ANY
trigger value:Changed
In the macro that the trigger calls, I run a "tts" commands that looks like this:
ph_macroparm( "ANNOUNCE", "Attention. Zone violation at"+ mid("[TEMP10]",6,30),2,"buzzer2.wav",2,"set100")
What I don't remember is why I use the midstring. I forget what exactly TEMP10 returns, but there is useful information in there....you might want to be sure you name your digital inputs descriptively, as it likely returns this digital name information.
Steve

Yes, as a matter of fact it does work pretty good.
