How to use:
- Get a proximity sensor.
- Put it somewhere interesting (e.g. a window you left open)
- Clone this project onto your Raspberry Pi
- Define environment variables:
| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PING_TWILIO_AUTH_SID | None (required) | Twilio authorization SID for notifications. |
| PING_TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN | None (required) | Twilio authorization token for notifications. |
| PING_RECEIVERS | None (required) | Comma-separated list of 10 digit phone numbers to receive notifications (e.g. "+12223334444,+23334445555") |
| PING_TWILIO_10DLC | None (required) | Registered Twilio 10 digit phone number (e.g. "+12223334444)" |
| PING_TIMEOUT (seconds) | 10 | After the sensor has been tripped for this duration, a notification will be sent. |
- Change directory to the project and run
./main.py. You will get SMS notifications when the proximity sensor is tripped for longer thanPING_TIMEOUT.
