Attach the sensor to a door that you want to monitor. Wired magnetic reed switch screws onto door frame & magnet screws onto door. (you can use your own adhesive pads instead, if you prefer).
When the door is opened, the Raspberry Pi will send a series of emails to your email account. If you have the Gmail app running on your iPhone or Android phone you\'ll be instantly notified of the time & date the door was opened or closed by text email & if you have a camera attached to the Pi you\'ll also receive an attachment from either your USB webcam or Raspberry Pi Camera module.This has been thoroughly tested on our own Pi & is in everyday use at our office.
Just some of the scripts included on DVD:
test.sh - use this script to troubleshoot that everything is working correctly. Scrolls \'0\'s up the screen and \'1\'s when you open the door. Changes when magnet is 1cm or less away from magnetic reed sensor.
