Hi,
i'm going to install a door sersor detection and my idea would have a wall tablet camera to take a pitcure and send mail if door opened.Anyone has coded this feature with script or using apk solutions on domoticz?
Thanks in advance.

underscore4, I'm not aware of any pre-built solutions however I'd suggest looking at an Android App called Tasker.
I used it successfully to turn Android tablet screens on / off when a motion sensor is activated, it can do many different things.

Use a second App (for Tasker) called Autoremote to trigger it remotely from Domoticz using a script
I was also able to send text from Domoticz to the tablet and have it speak it out loud.
You will need to do some research and a small amount of coding (mostly copy and paste) to achieve what you want but it is do-able.

Here is a sample bash script I use to send messages to Autoremote
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
message=$(echo "message to send goes here" | sed 's/ /%20/g')
curl "https://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendmessage?key=THEAUTOREMOTEKEYGOESHERE&message=${message}"
As I said what you want to do is achievable but this goes into moderate to advanced scripting level.

I do something similar very easily.
Use this method
viewtopic.php?t=17659#p135550 to turn your tablet camera into an IP camera and add it to Domoticz then use the Domoticz notification function or a simple blockly to send you a snapshot when the door sensor is triggered.
