can AUtoHotKey "listen" to a tweet or Telegram message?

Post by mmoalem » 30 Mar 2023, 04:41

Hi all - I am hoping I can solve an automation issue with AutoHotKey.

The setup is a windows PC that runs CCTV software (agentDVR) and MacroDroid on my phone that I want to switch the cctv cameras (in the software) on and off acording to my location - if I am in the house (connected to my home wifi) than it keeps the cameras off and if I am away (not connected to my home wifi) than turn the cameras on.

I could do it with HTTP request from MacroDroid to either AutoHotKey or Home Assistant but that means leaving a port open to the outside world which I am trying to avoid.

SO what I am thinking is to get the phone to send a tweet (or Telegram messege or whatsapp etc) when a condition is met - phrased in a specific way and than have AutoHotKey - if its at all possible - get triggered by the tweet or message - maybe by scarping the twitter page maybe by another way... and that is the question - is it possible and if so how?
