Email notifications for sensors
« on: September 10, 2014, 02:19:10 pm »
I hope this is in the right place, but Id like to request that other than push notifications that email based notifications be enabled for the sensors.

This should speed up implementation since the email notifications can be implemented at the router and backend without needing to update the app. It also helps those of us with restricted wifi work APs.

Post split from original topic.

We're considering email notifications as well, but push notifications will be done first.

Push notifications are great but in some use cases such as work wifi or lost/charging phone (which limit phone access or port access) getting an email would be a great backup option. As an example, the app doesnt connect to my A+ while using my work wifi because of restrictions but I can get emails via gmail.

If you have another Linux host in your environment, it's possible. I'm working on a solution, but at the moment it requires a separate Linux host to do most of the work.

I wrote some code to send email notifications, sensors are polled, check out my blog post (Python script):

This worked great for me, thank you! Ran it on a Raspberry PI with no issues and used it to detect GE Link Light state changes. Probably not a huge issue to extend this and build a DB of devices and drive different behavior for each device based on configuration in the DB.
