I read that it's possible to put the actual temperature into a message, but no idea how to do it

generally a bit more structured documentation would be helpful anyway :-)

i am not happy with my Twine becuase it is too slow and to dumb (sorry for that).

1.) Too slow:

- Is there a way to set it permanently to fast?

- Is there a way to set it to slow but to trigger a report via wlan instantly if something is happening? I want to use Twine as an alarm sensor. If vibration >68 mg (e. g. someone is opening my locker ) then send me an e-mail. At the moment a short vibration is not reported because the report intervall is too slow and a short vibration wich begins after the last report and stops before the next report is not recognized.

2.) Too dumb:

If a short trigger is needed you will not get it reported, because of the long report intervalls. Is there a way that an event is stored and reported by the next report? E.g.

Now: Report 1 (no vibration) ==> vibration starts ==> virbration stops ==>  Report 2 (no vibration)

I need: Report 1 (no vibration) ==> vibration starts ==> virbration stops ==>  Report 2 (vibration! because it was stored and send with the next slow report)

I hope you understand what I mean :o)

If I'm watching a movie I will get a pop-up notification stating that someone is in the fridge. This was done mostly for fun and to see if I could send commands to XBMC from the twine.

This is just one of the examples of what commands you could send to XBMC.

The code I used is below. You will need to have your XBMC system setup to be reachable from the Internet. I used GET to send the commands.

http://username:password@IP address:Port/jsonrpc?request={"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"GUI.ShowNotification","params":{"title":"Motion%20Detected","message":"Beer%20Fridge"}}

You'll want to edit the below with your system specific settings and what you want the message to say.
username

I have the moisture sensor set when wet to text & email. This works sometimes and sometimes does not. Always the light on the device is triggered and the dashboard shows the change but it seems most of the time I do not get a notification. I have tried to figure out why it will sometimes and not other times but have not had any success in understanding.
I have also used the other items like breakout board & magnetic and have same hit & miss results.
I know the email & text are correct addresses as I sometimes get messages when I do testing.

So, with the help of a blue glitter pipe cleaner (I have kids, and you make use of what you have around) through the casing hole, I've strapped my Twine to the inside of the garage door. When I open or close the door, Twine notifies me to let me know I've opened/closed it, so no more worrying all day or turning around to double-check.

There have been issues; T-Mobile texts aren't reliable (not very useful getting the closure message at midnight when I closed it at 9am), so I've switched to email, and this morning I got an extra "close" email without matching "open" one, even though I didn't open the garage. On the whole, though, it's been great.

Put in new batteries, set it to fast....nothing.

Whoops...software update needed.  Done.

Monitored the vibration readings of a wash cycle, set up a rules to trigger - start shaking at 125 milli-g sensitivity  after 60 seconds.  Untrigger after being still for 120 seconds.

Opps...battery is dead email sent and oops, the wifi signal meter no longer shows.  (But it shows full battery power???)

Off to buy more AAA batteries.

Start over.

Fresh batteries!  Same battery signal strength showing.

No wifi signal showing on browser window, but seeing vibrations and orientations moving.  Really confused now.

Sent rules to Twine.  Lost Vibration display.

Sent rules again thinking the software got messed up.

Vibration display is back!

Ran machine.

No email.

Held Twine in my hand and manually set the thing off.

No email.

What the heck is going on?  I can't figure out how to use this thing, I can't figure out if the thing is working, it's sending battery dead emails when the display reads a full...I'm so confused.

I'll happily chalk this up to user error, but it doesn't seem like this should be THAT difficult?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
