 #'''Push Notification Service''' The trigBoard's base firmware supports various services, including [https://www.pushsafer.com/ Pushsafer], [https://pushover.net/ Pushover], [https://ifttt.com/ IFTTT], and can even send messages over MQTT and UDP.  Before doing anything with the TrigBoard, the service must be chosen and ready to go.  Here's what's needed for each of them:<br>
 #:[[File:PushSafer.png|400px|link=https://www.pushsafer.com]]<br>
-#:[[PushsaferSetup | PUSHSAFER SETUP INSTRUCTIONS]] - Pushsafer is a great service for getting push notifications to your mobile devices.  There are some nice features built in, like allowing for guest devices to be added/removed.  This works nicely for a vacation setup where a someone may need to temporarily monitor a property.  The notifications are purchased in bulk, but very inexpensive.<br>

 #:[[File:pushoverlogo.png|400px|link=https://pushover.net/ Pushover]]<br>
-#:[[PushoverSetup | PUSHOVER SETUP INSTRUCTIONS]] - Pushover is similar to Pushsafer in that it's a good reliable service for getting push notifications to your devices when there's an event at the trigBoards.  The app is a one time purchase per device with a monthly allowance of 7500 notifications.  That should be plenty for most applications.<br>

 #:[[File:IFTTTlogo.png|400px|link=https://ifttt.com/ IFTTT]]<br>
-#:[[IFTTTSetup | IFTTT SETUP INSTRUCTIONS]] - this one is pretty obvious, but go check out the IFTTT website to see what all can be accomplished with this service.  This alone can be used for the push notification, but it can tend to not be as fast as Pushsafer/Pushover.  This is great for secondary alerts like sending emails, text messages, voice calls, home automation (lights on/off), publish to a google sheet, etc... there's a lot here<br>

-#:[[UDPSetup | UDP SETUP INSTRUCTIONS]] - more for the advanced user, but if you're looking to take this to the next level, UDP messaging allows for a tight and fast network for getting the notifications out.  Basically, a central gateway would be setup acting as a UDP server, where all of the trigBoards communicate back to.  This is great for building a secure standalone trigBoard network that's battery backed and could also allow for a cellular connection.<br>

-#:[[MQTTSetup | MQTT SETUP INSTRUCTIONS]] - similar to UDP, but if you're using the raspberry pi or something to run your home automation system, and it's all based on MQTT messaging, then this will work great for that.  This was added in at the request of support for Home Assistant (not tested though)<br>

 #'''The Configurator''' There is a lot to configure with the trigBoard, so what better name than "Configurator"?  '''THIS MUST BE RUN FROM GOOGLE CHROME ON Windows 10, Mac OS, Linux and must have BLUETOOTH equipped machine and it turned ON'''<br>
