"""Example of how to implement an alarm in WeeWX.
*******************************************************************************
To use this alarm, add the following somewhere in your configuration file
weewx.conf:
[Alarm]
expression = "outTemp < 40.0"
time_wait = 3600
smtp_host = smtp.example.com
smtp_user = myusername
smtp_password = mypassword
from = sally@example.com
mailto = jane@example.com, bob@example.com
subject = "Alarm message from weewx!"
In this example, if the outside temperature falls below 40, it will send an
email to the users specified in the comma separated list specified in option
"mailto", in this case:
jane@example.com, bob@example.com
The example assumes an SMTP email server at smtp.example.com that requires
login. If the SMTP server does not require login, leave out the lines for
smtp_user and smtp_password.
Setting an email "from" is optional. If not supplied, one will be filled in,
but your SMTP server may or may not accept it.
Setting an email "subject" is optional. If not supplied, one will be filled in.
To avoid a flood of emails, one will only be sent every 3600 seconds (one
hour).
*******************************************************************************
To enable this service:
1) Copy this file to the user directory. For pip install, this directory is
at ~/weewx-data/bin/user. For package installs, it's /usr/share/weewx/user.
2) Modify the weewx configuration file by adding this service to the option
"report_services", located in section [Engine][[Services]].
[Engine]
[[Services]]
...
report_services = weewx.engine.StdPrint, weewx.engine.StdReport, user.alarm.MyAlarm
*******************************************************************************
If you wish to use both this example and the lowBattery.py example, simply
merge the two configuration options together under [Alarm] and add both
services to report_services.
