Hi. I have a friend whose SecuritySpy web server is not reachable over the internet due to his cellular modem/router, but we interact very nicely with his Indigo installation thanks to Indigo Touch and Prism, etc. We SS set to send emails every ten minutes based on motion events in the driveway. We had painters working all day at the house and dozens of emails were received.
Using Cynical plugin I successfully created the Server and added the driveway camera as a device. I created an Indigo Variable called Camera Pause. In Indigo Touch I can change this variable to True, triggering a camera action. I have experimented with several actions, such as making the camera passive.
Our goal is to keep events recording locally in the presence of motion but to have the option of changing an Indigo variable to true, causing SS to stop sending emails for a period. If we change that Indigo variable back to false, email sending will run normally again. I could also set up a schedule that resets the variable and turns emails on everyday at midnight just in case we forget to reset the pause manually.
Is there a specific action I can use to achieve this email sending pause while motion events continue recording? Or if a script is needed, what would that be? Many thanks!
