Modern ways to receive event alerts on mobile devices
Posted: Thu Jul 17, 2014 2:25 pm
Hi,
I have been looking into the best way of receiving alerts on an mobile device (iPhone) when an certain event happens. There are many (mainly older) topics on the board which are all interesting and even partly usable.
Main use will be that when an device is triggered a picture will be taken and an alert will be send to the mobile device instantly. Although I have parts already working, per example: doorbell push-button triggered, an sms alert will be sent and an image is taken and saved in Homeseer and I think combining it with a part of this script domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=14& ... ure#p47065 I even can mail the picture and have it on the phone as well? Right?
Also had a look at this topic: domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=26& ... hot#p40482 and many others. All very interesting but some of them seems to be a bit old fashioned, since I believe the possibilities internet, and mobile have grown rapidly?
Would it be possible have the image shown up in the HSTOUCH app? (I use it out of the box, maybe an image can be add to it?) Or can it be send through whatsapp, or MMS ? Or are there other better ways of doing this?
Since I do not like to receive mail on the mobile device (get to many), any other kind of alert would be better.
Any thoughts on this?
