Me too. And maybe you've found this that I haven't (not Twine related):
My Outlook 2010 interfaces to iCloud and a collection of devices in the Apple ecosystem, and mostly plays nicely. The Outlook calender stays dis-activated across closing and re-…
T-Mobile, AT&T, and Rogers Wireless (in Canada) run on similar platforms. You might want to check out these suggestionsat;

for instructions on how to set up SMS from Twine on the Rogers Wireless network. Other telco's may have similar email gateways that need permissions set up. (Sear…
For Rogers Wireless, John Kestner has posted a solution to the SMS issue at

Other Canadian telco's may be implementing a similar SMS gateway for which you need to se…
Actually, I think there would be more of an issue with two different sensor types, depending on how sensor type is encoded. With two or more of the same, the Twine would likely see them as only one, and would trigger when any of them triggers. You w…
Answered elsewhere, but, to be complete, clicking the X is a rule change, so you then need to save the "new" rule to the Twine by clicking the "Save Rule" button.
I have suggested to the Twine team that they need to make the web interface more usefu…
If the orientation sensor provides this kind of data, this would be very useful.
However, what is also needed, that is not presently happening, is event based updating; eg, at present the Twine reports it's variables about once every 45 seconds (I …
Thinking about this some more, I could see a use for rules such as "If Twine is moved within 3 minutes of magnetic switch opening, do nothing, else send email or SMS" and variations on same.
If away, you could then tell others in your household that…
Now have dashboard working on iPhone Safari - good for viewing Twine data, but I wouldn't want to use it to program rules. So, an iPhone app would be nice.
Bill, you are not getting it - I want to know when I have moved my Twine out of my ONE network's range by some indication on the Twine, and not having to move the little bugger two more feet, and run back to the computer to see if it still connected…
Here's a suggestion - a two wire cable, with alligator clips on one end, and a couple of (preferably stainless steel) probes on the other end. Attach alligator clips to the moisture sensor electrodes, and insert the probes into your plant pot. Dista…
This would be great for non-critical timing, ie. to the nearest minute or so, like; go check the roast in the oven. Wouldn't work well for timing your favourite horse at the races. But for crude timing, I'd vote yes on this one, and it probably can …
All that would be very nice, but Twine is a low power (both computationally and electrically) device that is designed to do some very limited things. Think how much y our phone would cost you if you didn't also buy into a data plan for usually 3 yea…
Good luck finding any cheap (or expensive) Windows box with a serial port. The best you can do is there are serial to USB cables out there, but they are mostly flaky.
I believe that is there, in that if the initial connect fails, it will try again in 2 hours. Maybe that time needs to be user-settable, but it does prevent the battery drain.
Definitely voting for the "signs of life" feature.
As for sensing inside freezers, I've posted a solution elsewhere repeatedly - cheap bimetal based thermostat with mercury switch + long wires to break-out board,
William :Yep, great idea, but needs extra Twine server storage, which may be one of the issues with a start-up.
David: This would be very useful, and would also help with those of us who occasionally log in with IE 9, and then realize we need to use…
