New Feature: ALARM vs. Notification

Richi220 — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 07:39:11 GMT

Hello,

My GHome App is bothering me every time my wife changed the room and is constantly telling me "wife is in kitchen", "wife is in bedromm", "wife is in kitchen".... ok, this works fine. I just dont care 😉

But in between of all these "wife changed room" notification there is one notification like "Kid is next to the pool" (Alarm Area). But I do not notice it, because ... yeah, you figure it out 😉

It would be a real game changer if it would be possible to have a real alarm, with like exploding my smartphone when kid is next to alarm area (pool, etc.) or if a person, which i dont know (face-database) is in my office.

And it would really help, if I could also deactivate all events regarding my wife. she is allowed to enter all our rooms 😉

So all whats needed is to have a face/person filter on alarm areas and also a toogle button for setting if I would like to have

- an ALARM (making my smartphone freaking out) or

- a notification, currently called "Alarm" (GHome Popup, with a short notification beep)

That would be the feature of the Year!!!

Thanks well 🙂
