Samurvi Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi, I have a older door station. Here is what I wanted to do: Event: Someone presses the alarm on door station Actions: 1. Email a picture of the person with the door station. 2. Send a text of the picture to cell phone. For me this is a simple expectation that we need notifications with the picture when someone presses the doorbell. There are several cheap cameras that can do that. Can control4 do this and if so, how can this be programmed? Thanks Samurvi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d1amund Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 If you're referring to the DSC-EN door station I don't see that option in properties of the driver. I know the DS2 definitely does...just setup one today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funnyfarm299 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Correct. The email feature is only in the DS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurvi Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Thanks dcovach. I am not a dealer. Can it be done with HE Composer or with "when-then"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dealer has to install/integrate it but the end user can customize the rest with Composer HE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurvi Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 I still couldn't figure out a way to do this with HE composer. Any chance you can put some details on how this can be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 -------- Email -------- The Control4 DS2 Door Station has the ability to send email notifications with camera snapshots based upon any event that might occur in the Control4 system. Typically, this might be tied to a motion-detected or a motion-not-detected event from the Control4 DS2 Door Station. Below are some configuration examples for common email providers: Gmail SMTP settings Log into a gmail account and navigate to the security settings. Enable the "allow less secure apps" setting. 1. 1. Log in to gmail account. 2. 2. Navigate to "My Account". 3. 3. Enter "Sign-in and Security" settings. 4. 4. Enable "Allow Less Secure Apps" near the bottom of the page. SMTP Server Address: smtp.gmail.com SMTP Server Port: 587 Yahoo SMTP settings SMTP Server Address: smtp.mail.yahoo.com SMTP Server Port: 587 Outlook SMTP Settings SMTP Server Address: smtp-mail.outlook.com SMTP Server Port: 587 SMTP Server Username This configures the username needed to log in to the email server. SMTP Server Password This configures the password needed to log in to the email server. SMTP Server Address This configures the email server address. SMTP Server Port This configures the email server port. Email Sender This configures the email sender that will show where the email is coming from. Email Recipient This configures the address to be used as the destination of the email notification with snapshot(s). Email Subject This configures the subject of the email. Email Body This configures the body of the email. Number of Snapshots This configures the number of snapshots captured before and up to the email is triggered to be sent. Snapshots Timespan (s) This configures how far back in seconds to start taking snapshots. The DS2 will take (Number of Snapshots) snapshots evenly spaced apart starting (Snapshots Timespan (s)) seconds ago up to when the email was sent. Note that snapshots cannot be taken more than once per second. Example: If Number of Snapshots is 5 and Snapshots Timespan (s) is 20 seconds then you will get a snapshots at 20, 15, 10, 5, and 0 seconds. Snapshot Resolution This configures the image resolution that is used to generate the snapshots. Send E-mail at This determines under what circumstances an email will be sent.

South Africa C4 user Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 If I recall correctly, there is a setting (in the driver under monitoring) that says something like “show advanced settings”. This needs to be set to “true” for all of the more tricky/important settings to show up under monitoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurvi Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 I was able to find detect motion in programming section and action to sent notification in action. However, it did not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 You'll have to setup the DS2's mail server etc as per the directions I posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
