Hello, I have an Elk M1 with M1XEP, an ISY99i, and an attached webcontrol board, all up and running on my LAN and working well, but like many of you here I am continuously upgrading/adding/enhancing. What I would like to do next is add a feature whereby I can install another webcontrol at my Dad's house, along with a couple of contact-closure motion sensors, and have his webcontrol send an email to my system on motion detect. Then somewhere in my system these emails will be monitored, and if I don't receive an email for some period of time (during the day) then the system will notify me that I need to call my Dad to make sure he's OK, since he has stopped moving around his house. Yes, I could just call him every day - maybe this says something about how good of a son I am! But for the sake of a home automation discussion, how can I do this? I have three components in my system that can send emails to me, but no way that I know of for an email to be received into the system. Ideally, I would like the capability to actually parse the email message so I could define more than one, but at the very least this "thing" would need to output a contact closure when the email is received, so that I can monitor the frequency with Elk rules or webcontrol programming. Whatever is receiving the email would also need to qualify it with a port ID that I would map through my router (so it wouldn't just receive any email sent to my home IP address). Does anyone know how I can do this? It would also be nice if it didn't cost too much - sort of a webcontrol in reverse (receives email instead of sending it) would be great. It doesn't need to be a full email client, it just has to recognize the packet(s) and parse them a bit. I'm thinking that others would be interested in this as well, since there's certainly more applications than just my "Dad monitor"....
