I bought a Bluetooth temperature monitor to monitor the temp in one of my rooms. I made sure to purchase one that sends alerts for temperatures that are out of a given range.

Unfortunately, those notifications can’t be set to override Focus modes or when your phone is on Silent.

But the app does allow you to add any email address for an alert.

So, a Val Town Email handler + Twilio, and I’ve got myself an unmissable alert for if that room ever gets too hot or cold. 🔥🧊

Fork this Val, fill in your environment tokens (including phone number) and watch a call come through when you email the Val!

• This will call you on EVERY email. This works for my use case as the email is only registered with my temperature monitoring device.
  • (You'll need to keep your emailing Val private, or add on some sort of verification to prevent errant emails and calls.)
