Hey guys, I happened to have found this AlarmThing app. I wanted to test it out on my phone, but it is plain weird to me.
Does anybody know how this app could subscribe to “contact” and “motion” events, while it’s using the alarm capability?
Is it that this app might have its own specialized device handler that can generate contact and motion events from a device that integrates alarm, contact, and motion capabilities? Or, is it that we need some other app/device that can send the events to this app? Thanks everyone!
