Just for fun.. or not, I might actually use this, I have made a patch with Usine that will dial my cellphone from Skype if Usine detects motion from the camera. I suppose you could alternatively use an audio trigger or have Usine play an audio file, etc. Lots of interesting possibilities for alternative Usine Usages...
to get Usine to trigger Skype to make a phone call, first you need a Skype account and Skype credit. In the shell command module you would enter the path to Skype in the command field, ie: "C:Program Files (x86)SkypePhoneSkype.exe", and then in the params field, you enter "/callto:+yourphonenumberhere" (no quotations for either field and no spaces between numbers). Now when the command is executed, Skype is launched and the number dialed.
In my example patch below, I have a 14.5 second timer to be able to exit or enter the room after Usine is "armed" (data delay script modified with line "const N_BLOC_DELAY = 5000;", and the count milliseconds patch is set for 600000 (10 minutes) before repeat detected motion would trigger another call.
Maybe somebody can find this method for intrusion detection in your studio useful
Now I should make music..
edit: I think my ARM / DISARM switch might need to be somehere else to stop the call being made after the 14.5 sec data delay timer. oops so it's a bit beta this idea!
