I wish it were that simple. I don't have a serial device. This relay which I may or may not use, is designed to turn on 120v device. I really haven't looked at it that closely. I was hoping someone has intergrated interconnected smoke detectors already. failing that I guess I need to create a serial device, some how.

Users / smoke detector -> email notification

« on: October 24, 2007, 03:21:01 am »

I am looking for a little advice from someone with experience using LinuxMCE. I have Kidde smoke and CO detectors wired in an interconnect fashion. I also have a relay from Kidde that I can also attach in the string of interconnect alarms. I would like to have this relay trigger an event that would generate an email if the alarms go off. My question is can I use LinuxMCE to monitor a serial port on a PC and then generate an email? If it can be done, my next question is how?
