There’s actually a story here behind all of this. I’ve been looking for a way to trigger a motion sensor in ST from an outside application, essentially the exact opposite of what you’re trying to accomplish. I had been searching for ideas of how to handle this without success for weeks. I just started a nearly month-long vacation and was gearing myself up to dig into ST enough to finally sort that out. It was during this search that I ran into your post. Coming up empty-handed (once again), I decided to take a stab at your request just to take my mind off of my own project.
After I created the first version of the application, I happened to click on the SmartApp Ideas forum and saw your other post on this topic which I clicked just out of idle interest. That led me to this post from @Kristopher that met my own needs exactly. Like, had I actually written out a design document, this SmartApp would have met every single requirement.
So, in a very real way, writing this app for you allowed me to finally find the app that I needed myself. It’s not too often that Karma pays off that quickly
