Any one successfully integrated SS with Pushbullet or IFTTT? I've never used applescript in the past, looks pretty daunting.

I'm getting started with home automation using Home Assistant (https://home-assistant.io/) on a Raspberry Pi and would love to be able to trigger events based on SS detection motion.

    If your home automation system can trigger AppleScripts, then it should be easy to hook this up to SecuritySpy, especially if the Home Assistant software is running on the same Mac as SecuritySpy. A one-line AppleScript to trigger recording in SecuritySpy is as follows:

    tell app "SecuritySpy" to set motion camera number 0

    Then, as long as SecuritySpy is set to record upon motion detection, and the camera is in Active mode, running this script will trigger recording.
