My searches did not come up with anything useful, so before I attempt to reinvent the wheel I want to ask if any one knows of a good open ended, extensible, notification plug-in?
Also note I don't like using scripts. When ever I move/extend devices around I then have to modify the scripts for the new device codes, and I can see the control logic right there in the event... I don't have to look at the script source. Also I am [was cause I do more project/people management things now] C++/C# developer and VB is the spawn of the devil. Curse you right pinky finger for auto pressing semicolon!
In my example I would use the following:
Users: Bill
Notification types: Email home, email work, email other, text message, voice announcement, phone message, LEDAM sign
Config data: email address, phone number, "sign name"
Notification transport scripts: email, dial and announce, announce, interface with LEDAM
Events might look like this:
Trigger: New voice mail left
Condition: Bill is home
Condition: Bill is awake
Action: Notify via speaker (the plug-in calls out to the speaker script)
Action: Notify via LEDAM message (the plug-in calls out of the LEDAM interface script)
Trigger: New voice mail left
Condition: Bill is home
Condition: Bill is passed out drunk
Action: Queue notification for the speaker (the plug-in calls out to the speaker queue script)
Trigger: Bill gets his *** out of bed
Action: Announce queued notifications to the speaker (the plug-in calls out to the speaker script)
Trigger: New voice mail left
Condition: Bill is not home
Condition: Its a work day
Action: Notify via work email (the plug-in calls out to the email script)
Trigger: New voice mail left
Condition: Bill is not home
Condition: It is not working hours
Action: Notify via personal email (the plug-in calls out to the email script)
Action: Notify via text message (the plug-in calls out to the text message script)
But now I want to extend it tweet, cause I'm a hipster... well write script that can interface with Twitter, define a new notification type and add/modify an event to use the new notification type. Oh a new brain implantable short range speaker client was invented.. let me write an interface for that....
Does anything like this currently exist?

- My idea is to write a plug-in so that you get a nice action interface
- The user would define users, notification types, and any necessary config data (similar to the Reminders and Users tab but more powerful)
- The user would define the UI to configure the data needed for a notification, the plug-in would then render it for you
- When triggered the plug-in would call out to a script for the notification type
- I would supply many of these scripts, but if a user comes up with a new notification type you write a script to enable that transport mechanism
In my example I would use the following:
Users: Bill
Notification types: Email home, email work, email other, text message, voice announcement, phone message, LEDAM sign
Config data: email address, phone number, "sign name"
