Is there a way to insert a picture from a local drive into a notification? I have programs running that txt me when someone comes to the front door. I have a CCTV DVR that independently sends me an email with a picture of the front door when motion is detected. I was going to set up the DVR to take a "snapshot" of the door every second or so and then save that to a local file on my hard drive and then rewrite that so the picture is always pretty close to realtime.

 

Now, I want to be able to take that picture and include it in my isy notification txt so that I only get one txt. Is this possible?

Hi NHWA,

 

Unfortunately not at the moment.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

This is possible actually, I've done it several ways.

 

For example, my camera uploads a picture to my website every three seconds. If the motion sensor trips, it tells my phone and then the phone downloads the latest picture of my website and posts it into a notification on my android phone.

Look for "Fun with android notifications"

 

Things needed:

Tasker

AutoRemote

AutoNotification.

 

If you get those, I'll help you out with inserting a picture into your notification.

Nice! That's some great info. Thanks!

You are quite welcome. I love the things that Tasker allows you to do.. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to PM me..
