mike2545 Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Hello, I am trying to get an alert when the USPS truck arrives but the Camect plugin wont trigger. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Mike2545 Quote
paulbates Posted March 21 Posted March 21 We'll need more info to help. Can you say how you've tried to approach it? Can you copy your programs and paste them in a post here so we can ask better questions? Quote
mike2545 Posted March 21 Author Posted March 21 Paul, thank you for the reply. I have watched the mail truck pass the camera and it does not trigger USPS. I have attached an image of the program that should work if the trigger is passed to the eisy. Quote
paulbates Posted March 21 Posted March 21 Ok thanks. let's break it into pieces First, do you have a way to tell if the camect system is able to detect the USPS truck on it's own, like with an app? Another test is to see if the mail notification is working a expected. In iox, right click on the program and pick Run Then. This will force the other to run and see if the mail notification configuration is working. Try those 2 things and let us know how it went Quote
mike2545 Posted March 21 Author Posted March 21 Paul, yes I can log into Camect and click on alerts, filter by mail truck and see that it recognizes the mail truck with its software. Run then on the program sends me a text message, so that is configured correctly. In iox clicking on USPS in Camect triggers the program. I can change the program to trigger with person, truck, car. USPS is not triggering in iox. Quote

It's similar to my skunk example in the README What version of IoX are you running? There was a change in 5.9.1 related to this so hopefully it didn't break it. I'll setup a test on my system to confirm. Also you can watch the status in IoX for anything that may be detected and confirm the status changes. Quote
