Title: Send yourself an email when garage opens/closes (C# Programs for HomeGenie)
Post by: glitch007 on August 27, 2016, 01:59:00 AM

For those of you just getting started with C# programs in HomeGenie, here's a quick tutorial video (4 min) of how to create a C# HomeGenie program to send yourself an email when a sensor (or a list of sensors) are triggered:

I put the code up on my website:

I use parameters for the sensor to notify on and the email recipients

If you're totally new to HomeGenie, I wrote a quick blurb explaining how to set up the sender email account in the HomeGenie settings (http://efficienthacks.com/homesecurity/ (http://efficienthacks.com/homesecurity/))

Let me know if this was helpful.
