Hi guys,
Got a question on whether this is a good idea and/or feasible project.
I'm thinking of getting the Arduino Ethernet, have it plugged to my router and draw power from the ethernet cable.
Then somehow tap into the home alarm trigger, so that when the alarm kicks in, it would run my code.
For now I'm planning to send an email to myself as a starter, but later I'm thinking of sending commands to cameras and have them start recording stuff...
I'm pretty sure this is do-able, can someone tell me whether using the Arduino Ethernet is good for this? Also anyone know how to make the trigger? Or is simply tap the signal wire to the IO input (maybe need to get some resistor to get the triggering input right?)
I'm new to Arduino, but not new to programming.
Thanks!
