August / Smartthings / Wyze Automation Is This Possible?
I have a setup that works reasonably well now but I'd like to bring it to the next level.
Currently, when I leave my house, I press a button that, using SmartThings and IFTTT, turns on my Wyze cameras and announces that they're on. When I return, I press a button and it turns off the cameras.
I have an August Smart Lock Pro installed with a keypad outside.
The August app logs who opened the door based on the code entered on the keypad. SmartThings monitors lock status but doesn't receive the detailed info from the keypad and August app. What I'd like to do is to use the keypad information to turn the cameras off thereby bypassing the need to push the button..
What I'm wondering is whether it's possible using a macro app such as Tasker or Microtasks to trigger the button push based on specific words in the August notification so that it won't be necessary to push the button when I arrive.
The August app also logs when someone leaves and locks the door from the keypad but that could be problematic as someone else could be home when someone leaves. Presence based on the phone location won't work as not everyone has a phone on all the time.
