aT&T Digital Life Home Security

[ady624 (I hate Mondays)]

Check out Keo’s thread for updates. I’ve made an app that connects SmartThings to AT&T Digital Life and allows you to arm/disarm the alarm when the SmartThings Mode changes. Mode changes to Night, alarm goes to Stay, etc. Automatically. Also, alarm is disarmed, mode changes to Home. The downside is that it requires a local server running on the local network with the hub. The good news is, a Raspberry PI costs only $35 plus some change for the power supply and case.

Integration with AT&T digital life

Ok everyone time to get creative. I am working on a project that takes emails generated from AT&T digital life events, parses the body of the email, and writes it to a database. For instance, I have all of these sensors installed by AT&T that send me email notifications when ever they are opened or closed. I want to use those emails to trigger other events on smartThings. I looked at IFTTT, but google does not let you search in the body. The body of the email is where are the real info is. So… I thought it may be possible to setup a mail client and database on audrino and use the shield to interface with smartThings. How would I relay the sensor information to smartThings? Any ideas or suggestions?
