Onboard Rules - Send Text or Email when condition is met
« on: November 22, 2009, 04:45:28 PM »
First of all - I just upgraded to the C4.0 firmware and everything works great so far! A quick and flawless upgrade and nice feature additions and bug fixes. Thanks so much!

Now to my question:

Relating to the onboard actions, is there currently a way I could have an email or text message sent to me if a certain condition is met?

I'm specifically trying to have a text or email sent if one of my temps goes below a certain point. But this action could be used in many ways. I don't mind if it's email or text message since I will receive both on my mobile phone.

For something like that, you will still need to create an Action on the server, just like you did before.  (The IO-204 still doesn't have the ability to send email directly.)

However, you may want to consider changing the say that data gets pushed to the ioBridge server.  We will eventually remove all the "auto-message on input state change, analog trigger, etc" options from the IO-204.  This is because the same features are available with the new On-board Rules.  We need to remove that code from the firmware to make room for the next round of feature additions.
