Messenger functions

Post by bogdyro » 25 Jul 2015 10:54

Hi. I was thinking it would be great and relatively easy to implement some kind of messenger function for sending short text info between 2 devices using automagic. For example I get a phone call on my cell but it.s in another room and I am using my tablet at that moment that's connected to the same wifi network. A flow on the phone would be sending that info on my tablets screen. What to you think Martin? Doable?

It's more complicated than it might look. I would either use AutoRemote or Pushbullet to send messages between the devices (also works in different networks). You could also use trigger HTTP Request and action HTTP Request to send messages between the devices when the devices are located in the same WiFi network.

Hello. Well, the point is not using other application. Anyway, http request trigger seems more than capabLe for what I'd like to do. It's nice to see there are still new things to discover about automagic :)
Thanks
