Message Receive Condition
Click on the Message Receive checkbox to make this
condition active.
If your robot's laptop has a wireless network card and
access to a wireless network, you can program ER1 to
act on email from your Evolution Robotics RobotMail account based on a determination
of whether the sender, subject, or body contain substrings (i.e., text) specified by you to
trigger the behavior.
Fill in one or more the following:
• Sender - One or multiple email addresses from which to expect email. Aliases are
not supported. A full email address must be provided.
• Subject - Exact text to look for in the Subject line of the email.
• Body - Exact text to look for in the body of the email.
To set how often you'd like the robot to check email - for example, once every minute, or
once every five minutes, click on Settings button and the Email tab.
To open a RobotMail account:
1. When you opened the robot’s box, you should have seen a registration card instructing
you to go to the www.evolution.com
web site. If you have not already done so, do it
now. The first time you log in, you will need the default username,
evolution and
the default password,
er1.
2. On the web site, you will be directed to the ER1 community area.
3. You will be prompted to choose a username and password for your
evolution.com
login. If the name you specify is not already taken, it will be assigned to you.
4. On the web page, there will be a description of the purpose and limitations of robot
mail near or on the sign up page. Read it now.
5. You will be prompted to select a
XXXXX@robotmail.com account name for your robot.
(This account name must be different than the username/password used for the
evolution.com login. You can enter up to a 16 character name. If the name is not
already taken, it will be assigned to you. If you purchased more than one robot, you
will be allowed to choose multiple robot account names; one for each robot.)
6. Once the robot has been configured properly as described in the “Settings”, the robot
will monitor your RobotMail remotely for email.
7. Send the email to your new RobotMail account to trigger an action as described
earlier.
8. When the robot notices that it has received an email in its RobotMail account, it will
review the address, content, and subject of the email in an attempt to identify trigger
words.
9. If trigger words are identified, the corresponding action(s) are performed.
