Lack of IFTTT / GE Washer

Unless there is a plugin I don’t know about, which is always a possibility, there is no way to directly trigger Tasker via an email. Obviously, the notification from the email app can be used though. And there is at least one MQTT add-on so that email-mqtt could be used. I think the Android app has/is getting support to trigger a profile based on commands to Items maybe so openHAB itself could command Tasker to do something based on an email.

For the sake of completeness, I’m reposting this link from the other thread here.

MailTask

MailTask is a Tasker plugin to manage emails from Taske...

Free

It would be really interesting if we could set up dedicated email accounts for openHAB. I’ve never thought about that before.
