Not sure what you are trying to achieve here ... Can you elaborate a bit more on this ?

Typically, our solution requires triggering via HTTP thru our iPhone application interface ...

Thanks for your reply.
I am trying to fault find prowl push notifications and want to force an open event from my pc whilst on the debug page to see what happens.
I can use the iphone app to do this I guess but I was interested to see if it can be done via serial link.

You can edit the .INO file to have it call either openNotificationsHandler() or notifyViaPush(subject, body) ...

The first method (openNotificationsHandler) will look at your door/device's status and will only fire a notification
if one of the doors/devices is considered OPEN.

If for debugging purposes, you want to force a notification in all cases (device/door open or not), you could call
the second method (notifyViaPush), supplying subject and body arguments (both are string values).

Hope this helps. Best regards,
