Inspired by Craig Ward’s full color sunrise alarm clock, I am working on a sunrise “alarm” that is a little more versatile. To determine when the lights start up, I’d like HA to send the wife and I each a message (SMS or push) to which we could respond with the alarm time. I’ve read that email can be used, but feel like that’d be a bit clunky. Are there any alternatives?
I recieve HTML5 notification when Motion at Gate or when someone push doobell at gate.
Within the notification I have Photo from camera at gate and button that allows me to OpenGate if I desire
Unfortunately the wife is iOS so I think that’s already out. The gate thing you’ve got going on is awesome though.
I started playing with telegram yesterday and got to where I could interact via in-line. But was having some trouble with interacting via text - the next big step is going to be learning how to work with the variable that we respond with (I also wan’t reminders if we don’t respond within and hour).
