Generated gifs generating perfectly.
For some reason the gmail iphone app won't play them, but they are generating and sending, because they load fine in a browser (Chrome) window. I may experiment with having an iMessage send them. I wonder if I can get my Indigo install its own imessage account?
The speed of development on the plugin has been phenomenal.
Yes - very possible to give indigo mac its own icloud/imsg account and then send imsg's from Indigo to whomever. I use this approach to send messages to myself from Indigo about events (somebody arrived home etc) and animated gifs. With a little bit of work also can have a conversation via iMsg - have script which runs if I send 'check' will reply with devices left on in the house and ask if I wish to turn them off, a yes reply - turns of these devices (amongst other commands)
Can use the below 'Apple Script' in a Action Group - external script probably better
- Code: Select all
tell application "Messages"
set myid to get id of first service
set theBuddy to buddy "toemailaddress" of service "E:fromemailaddress note the E:"
send POSIX file "/Users/Username/Documents/Indigo-BlueIris/CameraNameShort/Animated.gif" to theBuddy
end tell
Buddy - to email address will either be email address or mobile number depending on the contact. See a quick google for help if stuck

The benefit of iMsg is its easy, but also doesn't seem to be size limit of Animated Gifs - I have sent pretty big ones without problem. They also display perfectly.
