Send email when zone is secure

[charliebarns]

Looking for some help with the code to send an email message when the garage door becomes secure. My wife has a habit of leaving the house but forgetting if she closed the garage door. If I can send an email to her phone when the garage door is secure it will eliminate all the times she ends up driving back to the house to check.

Thanks

The Omni panels cannot do this on their own. You will need to use either Snap-Link, Web-Link II or Web-Link 3 to handle this for you.

Thanks for the response. I do have snaplink but I don't think you can get specific enough with Alerts to do this. Maybe you can with WL2/3. Does anyone do this type of thing with WL2/3?

thx

I can do this with WL3 but the problem is it will send email everytime the garage door is secured. check

Snap-Link needs a lot of help in this regard (upgrades please!!). You would need to have a program line that activates a user button when the zone is secure, then Snap-Link can trigger the e-mail on the user button. Not as efficient as WL3, but it should work. The additional benefit of doing it this way is that you could also make the activation of the user button based on times or other criteria.

The intent was to leverage the automation programming capabilities already built into the controller. You can keep all of the logic to detect the event within the controller using a programming interface you are already familiar with.

In looking at the problem are you really wanting an e-mail every time the garage door closes? How about checking to see if the door is closed when the system is armed? In either case it is relatively easy to set up.

In the controller:

WHEN AWAY
WHEN NIGHT
WHEN VACATION
... whichever modes you want
	AND IF GarageDoor NOT READY
		THEN RUN GarageRemind

In Snap-Link:

When Event: User Button/Macro
Button Number/Name: GarageRemind
Notify me by: E-Mail Message

The logic stays in the controller and changes to the logic do not require changes to Snap-Link.
