Feature request: email notification

[Yury-MonZon]

Would you mind adding email notification when motion file detected (maybe with the link to GDrive)?

Since you're already dealing with google token, I guess it would be not that hard to add.

Why is it needed? Original Yi Home app sometimes are really laggy. But gmail delivers really fast.

Thanks a lot! I hope it is not much to ask =)

I can't say exactly if I will do it. I hope when I will have free time I will add this and others features. Right now I can suggest you to setup "google drive email notification of changes". It will not send you notification immediately when motion is detected but after new file with motion is uploaded you will get a notification.

Sad to hear that. But, thanks anyway for the great work!

About those email notifications you mentioned - I didn't find any way to do that on your own documents and folders. Can you show me some pointers how to set this up?

There is a lot of applications to notify you when your Google Drive is changed. I didn't use them but I think it might help you: https://support.google.com/drive/answer/6318501?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid&hl=en&oco=1

I've just found the same links except the FierceBits part =D

First one doesn't have what I need. (new upload notification) Chrome plugins needs chrome to constantly update them - and I'm mostly on my phone. Last one is the thing I am considering to buy if I'm not going to solve it any other (faster) way.

Thanks for your help. Nowadays it is rare to find such a helping coder =)
