Can i send an smoke alert with the API?

[AarClay]

Hello,

I was curious if the API offers support for testing the smoke detector notification. It would be useful if I could send a push notification about smoke/fire to the smartphones via a webhook or a specific API-call.

is this possible?

Hello,

It's indeed possible to receive webhook notifications in case of smoke detected. The documentation concerning possible alerts is available here : https://dev.netatmo.com/apidocumentatio ... lable-data

Thank you for your comment.
I don't think a webhook is what I'm looking for.

I want to send a test push message to the NetAtmo apps without activating the smoke detector. I want to check if they are working properly.

I believe a webhook is intended to initiate an action (URL callback) after a smoke report.

Hello,

Indeed it's the goal of the webhook
Unfortunately, the API method to send a detection alert is not open to third-parties. I'll ask the teams if they plan to put in place something to do a remote test

Thanks @Leslie,
Thank you if you would like to do that.
It would be very nice to be able to test whether notifications also arrive on the phone.

Or can this be requested for a specific time, by a support ticket of supportmail ?

Hello,

I did a report ticket to inform the teams
But I can't guarantee it will be something we will do
