eggzlot Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Is there a way to say if I get an email with "XYZ" as the subject line, do an Action in Control4? The IFTTT Driver can send emails if something is triggered, but the device I am trying to get intro Control4 is only compatible with Alexa/Google Home, not IFTTT, no C4 drivers, etc. But the device can send me emails so I could program off an email somehow. Thoughts? C4 User 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? Roundabout solution follows.... In SplashTiles, setup a TTS (text to screen) macro. This gives you a unique email address you can send to to trigger this macro In the macro, send a NetPlay Cloud protocol command to trigger the EVENTx event on our driver Add C4 programming to fire the action required on EVENTx You would need our NetPlay Cloud driver installed and connected. Also, we don't currently expose the NetPlayCloud protocol commands in our web based macro builder. If you want to try this out just put in a ticket and we can add that. Didn't have a use case for it before..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Africa C4 user Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 IFTTT can see when certain emails are received (eg gmail). I used this for a while but it was bit slow (I think it scanned my gmail account for relevant received emails) every 15 minutes or something like that).
