    2004 HAAS VF5

    I HAVE A 2004 HAAS VF5. IT IS MY ONLY MACHINE AND I AM THE ONLY EMPLOYEE. THE MACHINE IS RUNNING ABOUT 2 HOURS UNATTENDED. IS THERE ANY WAY THAT I CAN HOOK SOMETHING UP TO MY LIGHT TOWER, THAT WOULD SEND NOTIFICATIONS TO MY PHONE IF THE MACHINE GETS ALARMED OUT RATHER THAN JUST LETTING IS SIT FOR AN HOUR PLUS WHEN I AM DOING OTHER THINGS??

    Here is one method that would work. Just take the input from the light tower, through a relay to the arduino.

    I am going to add on as I thought about this for our VF/ a bit. .we have Alexa, and I assume google devices have Equiv. if you have wifi and one of these services (Alexa or google) this might work? There are so many ways to do this. I wanted to offer something maybe less technical. heck, I may just do the same... Not sure if the light activation would trigger the motion, but probably ???? it's cheap. $35. mount looking up. OR connect it to that light relay I noted and spin a big wihirly gig LOL. (kidding there). Anywho....
