Motion detection scripts

It is possible to run your own scripts on motion detection by adding your executable script (e.g. .sh) to config/userscripts/motiondetection

When motion is detected, the first argument to the script will be on and when motion detection ends it will receive off.

For example, to send an email containing snapshots on a certain condition, for example only when the house is empty, you can check an external service (e.g. openhab) before triggering the email.

-- sendEmail.sh --

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$1" == "on" ]; then

    source /system/sdcard/config/motion.conf
    source /system/sdcard/scripts/common_functions.sh

    # Check external service to see it anyone present.
    presence=$(/system/sdcard/bin/curl http://openhab/rest/items/PresenceAtHome/state 2>/dev/null)

    if [ "$presence" == "OFF" ] ; then
        # No-one is meant to be here, but motion detected. Send email.
        /system/sdcard/scripts/sendPictureMail.sh &
    fi

fi
