Python code to automate

Purpose of project: • I would like a python script written that will help me automate setting my home air conditioning to the "away" comfort setting when I arm my home alarm. I also need the script to set my home air conditioning to resume the as scheduled comfort setting when the alarm is disarmed. • Why can’t I use IFTTT or something else? I had this working via IFTTT and Gmail but Gmail’s recent changes to their API has made the integration non-functional with no time horizon for restoration. • Why don’t I just do it myself? I could, but I do not have time to do it. • Am I going to resell this? No. How I will deploy it: • I have a NAS (Synology) that can run Python scripts periodically. • Alternatively, I have a small thumb stick computer. How I think it will work: Arm Away event: • With Python script set to run every X minutes • Arm alarm system away • Alarm system sends an email to XXXX@[login to view URL] with subject XXXXXX Home: Panel was Armed Away at X:XX pm • Python script monitors XXXX@[login to view URL] and checks for the most recent un-read email • Python script parses subject line • Python script if “Armed Away” set Ecobee4 thermostats to “Away” comfort setting Disarm event: • With Python script set to run every X minutes • Disarm alarm system • Alarm system sends an email to XXXX@[login to view URL] with subject XXXXXX Home: Panel was Disarmed at X:XX pm • Python script monitors XXXX@[login to view URL] and checks for the most recent un-read email • Python script parses subject line • Python script if “Disarmed” set Ecobee4 thermostats to as scheduled comfort setting Important info: • Alarm system does not have an API of any kind. The only way to get alarm status is to monitor an email inbox for new emails with the right subject line. o Alarm armed away email subject line will look like this:  XXXXXX Home: Panel was Armed Away at X:XX pm o Alarm disarmed email subject line will look like this:  XXXXXX Home: Panel was Disarmed at X:XX pm • Home air conditioning system is controlled by two Ecobee4 thermostats. Details of the API are here: [login to view URL] • I have a free [login to view URL] email address. Final deliverable: A python script that will monitor my [login to view URL] email address for the most recent alarm event as described above. The script should change the two Ecobee4 thermostats based on the subject lines in the alarm event emails. The script should include error logging and plenty of comments to understand what your script is doing. Recommendations on deploying the script. Bonus: if it can send me emails about errors.
