The `thingUID` is the identifier assigned to the Thing, manually in your configuration or automatically during auto discovery.
You can find it from UI or from Karaf remote console.
For example, one z-wave device can be "zwave:device:c5155aa4:node14".
The `*` wildcard is allowed in the `thingUID`.
For example, `chromecast:*` will trigger on all `chromecast` Things and `*` will trigger on all things.

If the Rule needs to know what the triggering thing was, or access a string value of the previous or new status, use the [implicit variables]({{base}}/configuration/rules-dsl.html#implicit-variables-inside-the-execution-block) `triggeringThing`, `previousThingStatus` or `newThingStatus` to access the information.
