  • Sorry for the delay, I was waiting on an official response from the engineers. There is a 4.7k resistor on the twine PCB that is used for a pull up of the external sensor.We only turn the pull up on briefly when looking at the state of the external …
  • Barry's got it right, thanks for chiming in. We know a three day outage is bad news, and even more so with no feedback from us. We're working to make sure it doesn't happen again. 
  • It was a problem on our side. We had some server problems as a result of a change on our server as part of testing a new feature, and sending notifications temporarily got locked up. At the same time, our monitoring app that tells us when things are…
  • The only way to access your Twine is through twine.supermechanical.com.  You can access your Twine's dashboard information and edit rules from any internet connection (just need to log in at twine.supermechanical.com). I don't have any experience wi…
  • There will be new actions in the future! Pebble notifications are coming next (we're waiting on a few things from Pebble before we can release it).  What else would you be interested in?
  • Can you try refreshing the page when you get stuck and see if it works then? We're working on tracking down this bug.
  • It's set to send the email when the voltage dips below 2.3V for more than a minute.  If the voltage has popped back up to 2.6, you should be fine not replacing the batteries for a while.
  • Depending on the router you're using, you can try using range extenders like these to increase your router's range.

  • Reporting temperatures as Celsius in rule variables will be coming in the next update!

  • You're right, it shouldn't be that difficult! A few things here that we'll work on making clearer to avoid confusion in the future: the Wi-Fi signal will only show up when your Twine is in fast mode, so it's normal not to see it; if the battery indi…
  • We're waiting for some things on Pebble's end, once that's done we'll be ready for release.
  • You should be able to fit more rules than that on your Twine! We're going to look into what is going on with your Twine, I'll email you when we have an update.
  • When you click on "Save to Twine", does it give you any feedback? If you can send the third rule to help@supermechanical.com, we can look into if it would cause any errors.
  • It looks like your Twine has tweeted a few times since you posted. Is it working now? Did anything change?
  • With those readings, if you set the vibration threshold to 63 milli-gs you should get notifications when you put the key in, and when you close the door. You could set a higher threshold to only get notified when the door closes, or use 63 and under…
  • Try resaving your rules to get a firmware update, we fixed the external power readings in 1.3.0. Even if your Twine shows the battery levels, it should still be using external power if it is plugged in.
  • Glad to hear that solved the problem temporarily! John should non-ascii characters working soon. We attach the Twine bits on the end because Twitter won't let you send out the same Tweet multiple times, so the appendage keeps your tweets from gettin…
  • You're getting both Tweets because the 1 second rule also gets triggered when the breakout board is closed for 5 seconds. There's no way around this unfortunately.Check out this knowledge base article for more information about how rules work: http:…
  • There isn't a way to add a time stamp to notifications now, but it's a good idea! We'll add it to our list of future improvements.
  • It sounds like the issue is that library isn't properly loaded. Read this and install the Twine library using these instructions:http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/LibrariesIf that doesn't fix it, the issue is likely related to the Arduino software program,…
  • Unfortunately, the HTTP request has to go through a public server so our servers can reach it.
  • Before we would convert your cell phone information to an email format for you. You can still use the email to sms gateway. Check out this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SMS_gateways or talk to your mobile carrier to find out how to f…
  • Jaakko, try resaving your rule. If that doesn't work send us a message at help.supermechanical.com
  • The temperature data lives in ºF, and is converted to ºC for the dashboard, but not for the [temperature] tag yet. That should be fixed in 1.4.0.
  • When you have an external sensor plugged in, you'll also see options for those. For Twine only, those are the only options for now!
  • Stephen, your Twine has the latest software now!  This is what we mean by "flip Twine over": http://supermechanical.com/twinesetup/loading-rules-onto-twine.m4v
  • When your Twine is connected, it will update on the dashboard about every minute and report triggers immediately.  It looks like your Twine isn't getting very good reception, try moving it closer to your router, and seeing if that helps. (if you put…
  • We're not considering making uses pay to use our website. We relied on carriers' word for supporting the email gateway SMS method, and the fact that it worked inconsistently for some people wasn't acceptable. So we've invested time into improving th…
  • The Cloud Shield should work with 3.3v and 5v boards!
  • The arm just takes a second or two to reset. Unfortunately, adjusting the conditions won't help now, but this is on our list of things to fix!
