Device interaction - start flow on another device

[FFK]

Hello guys,

I was wondering if there is an easy way to let devices interact with each other even when they are not on the same network.
Currently I send a notification from device 1 to device 2 including a link pointing to 127.0.0.1/automagic/action while having the http request listener online on device 2.

I already read that it is not possible to register any new intent with AutoMagic since it has to be done in the manifest of the app.
Can you think of an easier way to achive this? Maybe without the HTTP server workaround and no manual interaction?
Should be done by internet only (no SMS or calls)

Hi,

You could use Pushbullet, AutoRemote or Join to send messages to different devices. All three apps provide plugins for automation tools so you can use trigger and action Plugin to control the apps.
An alternative way might be to use mails and react to them using the notification triggers or the K-9 Mail trigger.

Martin
