Idea for smtpsensor

[ceraz68]

Hello, I've been trying to find a way to trigger a homekit light switch by e-mail and found your project. I've basic knowledge of programming but I've understood that your plugin triggers camera live footage once an email is sent. Is it possible to adapt the code to trigger a switch?

My use case is an incoming email with keyword eg "activate", send ON command to HomeKit switch (no time limit). Incoming email with keyword eg "deactivate", send OFF command to HomeKit switch (no time limit).

Another idea would be to define smtpsensor as a switch that has user-defined states (on/off/dim) depending on receipt of an email then the HomeKit automation can be used to activate other devices.

Grateful for any pointers.
