Hey. I have about 50 different Smoke Sensors. I want to send a push notification if one of those sensors sends an alert. In the push notification the name of the sensor should be displayed.  
I can ofc create about 50 flows, but is there an easier way to catch the name of the sensor that sends the alarm?

ok, now add a second device in the “When…” statement. If Device 1 sends the alarm, the message should be “Device 1 Alarm”, if Device 2 sends alarm “Device 2 Alarm”.

Edit… there is “Any device” when… i need to check if thats working, i didnt saw that.

Edit2: Its working - thanks a lot!
