New Lightweight ZM Instant Event Notify daemon project published
Posted: Thu Feb 13, 2020 6:37 am
Hi,
Just upgraded my zoneminder box for the third time in 15 years, added some cameras, etc. It was time to get some notifications to my phone.
There are some apps out there, but I really just wanted the notification.
Thus was born https://github.com/tarheele/zminstantnotify
For many years I desired a simple event notification script and pliablepixels published just the skeleton that I needed to build upon.
The result is a light weight event notification daemon which can be easily changed to call or do whatever you want. The provided sample actions script calls pushover to send instant notifications to your phone. You can alter it to call ifttt to turn on lights or voip call you. Or you could use it to send emails.
Almost out of the box you can get instant notifications via the pushover smartphone app with one of many selectable sounds. Pushover also provides VERY COOL option to have an emergency notification that will bug you until you confirm receipt. The pushover app has its own in-app snooze in case you have a windy day that blows up your phone with notifications. Obviously you have to create your own pushover account if you go this route.
Please let me know what you think.
