Steps
Send notification
Push, text or email the household
Then step — What happens. Step type then-notify.
How it works
Sends a push, text message, email, or in-app banner to the household or chosen members. Push can be marked time-sensitive (prompt delivery; it never bypasses Do Not Disturb — only real alarms do) and can attach a camera snapshot.
Example
Device changes (Garage door opened) → Send notification (time-sensitive push to everyone, snapshot from Driveway camera)Everyone gets a prompt push with a picture.
