fdastoor Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I have a control4 Doorbell installed by the dealer. How would I program it to send a text message to my phone - 5407983482 - if the motion sensor detects movement at the front door. My phone carrier is Verizon. What would be the proper syntax I have Composer HE 3.2.2 Thanks in advance for help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Africa C4 user Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 You need to use the Push Notifications agent to create a push notification. You then need to program against the “when motion starts” event and send the notification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Africa C4 user Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 For push notifications, you have to choose agents on the left and then push notifications. If you want a text message as opposed to a push notification, you will need to have your dealer install an additional driver (e.g. IFTTT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used that all the time before C4 had a native push notification feature. South Africa C4 user 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
