Have it send mail when temp = 17 degrees and one when it is 21 degrees and have gmail label or something based on that, then use the gmail channel as the if.

in Is the email from-address on my twine alerts consistent and unique to my twine? Comment by YoYo Pete February 2013
Try the google URL shortening service: goo.gl But yes... longer URL and more than 1 GET variable would be a major win. I think they said they are going to make it longer.. .something due to internal memory or something.

in Can I haz longer URL? Comment by YoYo Pete February 2013

Here's a DIY article if you dont want to use notify my android: Android Push Notifications using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), PHP and MySQL But the email feature to your secret notify my android email address should do it fine. I just dont like …

in Can "Notify My Android" be used with Twine? Comment by YoYo Pete February 2013
I gave up on batteries... Works great plugged in. My batteries failed with no warning (initial firmware). AC power seems to work much better. AC from PC USB does some weird device recognition over and over (I.E. The USB connection beep happens…

in HOWTO: Accessing your twine status programmatically from your (Android) phone Comment by YoYo Pete February 2013
But you get 5 notifications for free... I just feel like I can build the same thing with my current infrastructure for free, so why pay for it.

in Add TWINE channel to IFTTT.com Comment by YoYo Pete February 2013
Here's how I did it using IE in windows and scripting: https://github.com/YoYo-Pete/Twine/blob/master/JSON-Status/getStatus.vbs I'm still working on the winHTTP version, but stuck and not really spending the time to work past it. Instead going to tr…

in HOWTO: Accessing your twine status programmatically from your (Android) phone Comment by YoYo Pete February 2013
I wonder if they want to do it all themselves so they dont have the dependency... but IFTTT works so well. I'm looking into setting up my own android push service... Maybe I can make it viable for community use by using the HTTP GET method from the …

in Add TWINE channel to IFTTT.com Comment by YoYo Pete February 2013
Or post in http://help.supermechanical.com/ as they have gotten back with all kind of really specific technical answers to me in a day or so.

in What to do with my "bricked" Twine... Comment by YoYo Pete February 2013
You can wait for the update from supermechanical. They will integrate that functionality. You could do something like this. I have twine text me when my front door opens via the mag switch.---- Have twine send to gmail. That works well enough. …

in In simple terms. How do I get Twine to write on Twitter? Comment by YoYo Pete February 2013
This thread: http://help.supermechanical.com/discussions/questions/3826-using-json-values-from-httpstwinesupermechanicalcomrt There's a JSON array that shows the last update time. If it's older than X, then you have an issue as twine is not communi…

Nice update!

I just discovered this: http://www.androidhive.info/2012/10/android-push-notifications-using-google-cloud-messaging-gcm-php-and-mysql/ I'm going to set this up for myself (since it's free {I think} compared to 'Notify my Android' which is a real nic…

in Use HTTP GET to log your TWINE triggers Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
I dont know... I make this call in my browser: http://twinelog.yoyo-pete.com?v1=A&v2=B And it logged this: 2013-01-25 15:46:07 v1=A&v2=B When I used the same from the Twine dashboard, it logged this:2013-01-25 15:46:50 V1=A

in Use HTTP GET to log your TWINE triggers Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
Each & symbol represents another variable in the string. So your GET really is like this: Submit to: http://nimbits1.appspot.com/service//service/currentvalue Fieldsvalue=[Temperature]point=testemail=bsautner@gmail.comformat=doublesecret=yourn…

in Use HTTP GET to log your TWINE triggers Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
Yes... Not sure how many characters, but the form truncates it if you get too long. And you can only have one variable. So URL?a=1&b=2 will only submit a=1. Not sure if you're running into an issue like that. I dont know how nimbits works. …

in Use HTTP GET to log your TWINE triggers Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
The temp will be slightly warmer than actual as the sensor on the circuit board which is encased in the twine, which is in the rubber thing. So the heat of it running causes it to read higher than the actual external temperature.

in How accurate is the thermometor Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
Updated it to ignore the IP stuff since it only comes from one IP. Also, here is source (in case someone wanted to see how the php side works). https://github.com/YoYo-Pete/Twine/tree/master/Server

in Use HTTP GET to log your TWINE triggers Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
Ah... You are right. I built this at work while my twine was home. Seeing it log the IP, I assumed it was my home, but it's the twine.supermechanical server logging it. I should change the text on my page and remove the IP stuff so it can be used…

in Use HTTP GET to log your TWINE triggers Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
Here's a web site I created to log your twine's GET requests and view them as a log. I created this so people can test their twine GET requests and log triggers. By attaching a GET request to your existing trigger, you can look at the GET log on…

in Update 1/18/2013 Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
Use the HTTP get request to trap the trigger and log when things happen. If I get a chance, maybe I can set up my server to listen and then log twine actions and then make it so if you key in your twine ID, you can see the log of things. I'll …

in Update 1/18/2013 Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
You can leverage the HTTP request method to get local notifications. The issue is you need something running to receive those notifications. If you had a local computer running a server listening for it, you could then locally take action without …

in Accessing it locally... Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
Nice write up! And I've totally sent that in to IFTTT as a suggestion. Like a JSON channel or something to allow it to make a web service layer call.

in API Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
I asked support if I can programmatically query twine such as this: https://twine.supermechanical.com/rt/00001a111a111a11?cached=1 This url (when using the correct ID of my twine) will return the latest cashed JSON array for my device. https://tw…

in Google APIs using JSON? Comment by YoYo Pete January 2013
Pebble channel on IFTTT.com will help with that. I'm in the same boat. I'm going to try to create an android app to get your twine data from the JSON service. Support told me I can use the URLs programmatically but said they will change in the…
