## Motion detection scripts It is possible to run your own scripts on motion detection by adding your executable script (e.g. `.sh`) to `config/userscripts/motiondetection` When motion is detected, the first argument to the script will be `on` and when motion detection ends it will receive `off`. For example, to send an email containing snapshots on a certain condition, for example only when the house is empty, you can check an external service (e.g. openhab) before triggering the email. -- sendEmail.sh -- ```$sh #!/bin/sh if [ "$1" == "on" ]; then source /system/sdcard/config/motion.conf source /system/sdcard/scripts/common_functions.sh # Check external service to see it anyone present. presence=$(/system/sdcard/bin/curl http://openhab/rest/items/PresenceAtHome/state 2>/dev/null) if [ "$presence" == "OFF" ] ; then # No-one is meant to be here, but motion detected. Send email. /system/sdcard/scripts/sendPictureMail.sh & fi fi ``` The files should be copied manually, e.g. using ftp.
