Title: [NOOB] How do I get notifications to work?
Post by: naps1saps on March 01, 2014, 12:50:04 AM

I cannot figure out how to get notifications when the basic security system is triggered.  I have put my email address in the box but no emails are sent out.  Is there something I need to add, change, configure?  I would also like to use the pushing box module but there is no info or instructions how to use it that I can find.  Going to the pushing box website does not help either.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind.  I figured it out.  Had to create a service on the pushingbox website to get an ID then put it in the web API call for pushingbox and pasted the code under the code that triggered the sirens.

Code: [Select]

Net.WebService("http://api.pushingbox.com/pushingbox?devid=v0123456789ABCDE&temperature=23").Call();

Hi,
For email, you have to configure serveur smtp in : "configuration" -> "scenarios" -> "social and messaging", and to fill "email account".

Thanks.
Would be nice if they could link the android app with the server for stand-alone push notifications.  I might try and dive into that for the community.  That would be a great feature to add.

Hi,
For information, the windows phone app can do that.
But it's a little bit to talkative ;)
