Text your lost Android phone to turn the ringer volume up 100%
How this automation works
Automate your SpotCam to respond instantly when you get specific text messages. This runs whenever an SMS on your Android device contains the keyword you define, moving your SpotCam HD Eva to a preset location. Great for monitoring areas remotely or reacting to alerts automatically. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the Android device receiving SMS.
