email plugin for eventghost

no need for batch files

will also send text messages

every cell phone carrier has something like this

send an email there and it comes through on your phone as a text

Having to buy a hub [vera] is kind of disappointing. It is an extra expense and installation.
so if I choose a product like this, what would I be able to do with it without having a hub?:

Thanks kgshlosser for your input.
I was actually wrong. Event ghost "start application" can open URL shortcuts and email file extension [*.eml]. You're right. No need for batch files.

No. You need a Z-wave controller in order to operate a Z-wave device.

They're very reasonably priced, (about about a 1/5 of the price of a lock, where I am), and someone in your position could really get some use out of Z-Wave enabled gear. I know I do. Installation of the controller itself is just plugging in a power cord and net cable.

Have you heard of voxcommando? I haven't tried it, and unfortunately it's not free any more, but it seems a bit like Dragon, but geared more towards running things, rather than 'just typing', if you know what I mean. Dragon is pretty shitty for anything but dictation, as I'm sure you've discovered.

There's some good vids on YouTube for it: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_ ... oxcommando
