Email on sensor change

General Automation
21

I’m a little confused. What should I be using?

if you mean confused with regards to the code and string interpolation isn’t working in your version of mono then you could try this:

if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(Program.InputField("Email.Recipients").Value))
{
    Program.Notify("Sensor Alarm","Recipient email address not configured");
    // Add code to quit here..
}

// Code that executes on sensor changes:
When.ModuleParameterChanged((module, parameter)=> {
    if (parameter.Name == "Sensor.Alarm")
    {
        if (Program.InputField("Sensor").Value.Contains(module.Instance.Name))
        {
            var openClosedState = parameter.DecimalValue == 0 ? "closed":"open";
            var messagetext = string.Format("{0} {1} {2}", module.Instance.Name, openClosedState, {DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm MMM ddd d"));

            try
            {
                Net.SendMessage(
                    Program.InputField("Email.Recipients").Value,
                    string.Format("HomeGenie: {0} {1}", module.Instance.Name, openClosedState),
                    messagetext
                );
            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
               Program.Log.Error($"Sensor Alarm: Unable to send mail {ex.Message}");
            }
        }
    }

    return true;
});

Might need uppercase String.Format though - untested

Sorry, I don’t know what mono is. I’m just putting it right into HG. I’ve
never programmed in C# before only .net and Java.

Finally, I got around to this program and fixed the code to make it runnable)
The main issue with previous versions was lack of Program.GoBackground(); command after ModuleParameterChanged event handler.

So, here is my code:

Startup code 
Program.AddOption("Sensor","garage","Sensors to alert on (comma separated)","text"); //e.g.: garage,window1
Program.AddOption("Email.Recipients","[email protected]","Email recipients","text");			 //e.g.: [email protected],[email protected]
Program.Run();
Program code 
//Code that executes on sensor changes:
When.ModuleParameterChanged((module, parameter) =>
{
    if (Program.Option("Sensor").Value.Contains(module.Instance.Name) &&
        parameter.Name == "Status.Level") //Sensor.Alarm
    {
        var openClosedState = parameter.DecimalValue == 0 ? "closed" : "open";
        var messagetext = string.Format("{0} {1} {2}", module.Instance.Name, openClosedState, DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm MMM ddd d"));

        try
        {
            Net.SendMessage(
                Program.Option("Email.Recipients").Value,
                string.Format("HomeGenie: {0} {1}", module.Instance.Name, openClosedState),
                messagetext
            );
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Program.Log.Error(string.Format("Sensor Alarm: Unable to send mail {0}", ex.Message));
        }
    }
    return true;
});

// the program will be running in the background waiting for events
Program.GoBackground();

Perhaps you will have to change Status.Level in parameter.Name == "Status.Level") to Sensor.Alarm or something else (depends on what parameter your device uses to report status, I tested the program with Fibaro motion sensor and it uses Status.Level).

Thanks Bounz it is running. I’m not home right now to actually test it but we will see later today. I really appreciate all the help lately.
