Send a Gmail message when you press the Button widget
How this automation works
Receive an automatic email alert when one of your Energenie Mi|Home sensors detects that a door or window has been opened. The Applet runs each time a selected sensor registers an opening and sends you a Gmail message with details. It's perfect for monitoring home security or keeping tabs on entry points—customize the message to fit your tone.
