        <description><![CDATA[It appears that new features and other changes to the Twine are very slow in coming. Yes, we got a battery life update four months ago, but I'm seeing a lot of dissent here.<div><br /></div><div>Some of my problems have been things such as the Twine server not sending out my messages -- especially if I'm generating a lot of them, which is when I most need to see the messages. &nbsp;Hosting my own server seems like a solution to that.</div><div><br /></div><div>Can we get the source for the twine server daemon, and a way to train the twine to use that one (is there a .hosts file we can tweak?)?</div><div><br /></div><div>What I'd really like are some smarter rules, e.g. "Did the elapsed time since the previous trigger increase or decrease significantly?"</div>]]>

        <title>Add TWINE channel to IFTTT.com</title>

        <description><![CDATA[I have a suggestion to the developers.    IFTTT (if you are not aware) is a site that allows for Rule Based Processing of web enabled events(devices).  They have channels that connect to services and with the channel, you can create rules the same way you can on the twine site.<br /><br />The benefit of leveraging such a service is that twine would not have to develop / support the mechanisms of alerting.  IFTTT handles all of that.  They have true SMS alerting (even to google voice) and even autonomous phone calls where a rule can fire off a phone call to a number and a computer will talk the desired output to the recipiant.  Plus it hooks into many different services and continues to grow.  I'm looking forward to leveraging IFTTT with the pebble watch platform.<br /><br />If TWINE created a channel to get the sensor output to IFTTT, and leverage their 'fast' triggers.  You could use the IFTTT platform to 'do stuff' (such as texting or calling or whatever) in near real time.    Likewise it would allow TWINE developers to focus on the device and the channel, instead of the myriad of items that come with the RBS and notification layers.<br /><br />It's just my suggestion.  I think IFTTT is doing a great job with their service and it would be a great enhancement to the TWINE product to have a IFTTT channel created.<br /><br />Thank you for the read.  Please 'Up Vote' this if you agree and would like the same.]]>

        <description><![CDATA[I use my Twine with a USB power adapter and batteries as a backup.  It would be nice if the presence of USB power could be added as another sensor rule - when USB power turns off/on then send email/text/etc - so Twine also acts as a power sensor.  I'm using my Twine to monitor electrical equipment via the breakout board and an AC current sensor, and that equipment is never going to run in the event of a power failure so it would be great to get an alert when that happens, or build that condition into other rules.]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Along the lines of other requests in the forum to "send a text every xx minutes", I'm asking for an easier feature to implement.&nbsp;&nbsp; I run my Twine on USB power in an un-occupied condo.&nbsp; Because I'm not worried about power or wifi usage, when in "external power mode", I'd like to be able to define the web site update interval in minutes from [1 to 60].&nbsp; Of course, this is un-related to immediate notification of rules triggering - this is simply for the purpose of updating the data for the web page dashboard.&nbsp; Sometimes I look at it and it's been 75 minutes since last update.&nbsp; There's absolutely no reason for it to be that long an interval when I'm on external power. <br />]]>

        <description><![CDATA[An interesting application using both a Twine for a trigger and talking to a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://memoto.com/">Memoto camera</a> to start snapping pics. When an event is triggered, it tells the camera to start snapping. I suspect it would have to communicate via the micro USB on the camera, since it's not WIFI. Just tossing this out there.<div><br /></div><div>-Geoff</div>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[Hi,<br /><br />I have two questions.<br /><br />(1) everything is working fine with my twine. I can feed a database on my webserver. However, I'd like to get http requests independent of any rules (unconditional), i.e. each time the twine contacts the WLAN station a http request should ideally be triggered. For I'd like to monitior the temperature in my henhouse. How can I solve this problem?<br /><br />(2) The issue explained could easily be solved if the twine reacted on temperature changes. When will this feature come?<br /><br />Best regards, Daniel<br />]]>
