Hello. I'm a student of Electronic Engineer, i want to do a smart house project and the center of the processing will be labview. My problem is the next one: I want to send the alarm notification to a facebook account, i mean, i can send an email to an email address, but i want to send a notification or message to facebook. Is that possible? Any idea? thanks a lot for your help, i'll wait for an answer..

I would say that it would be difficult, it would involve some working around with Facebooks API and their messaging servers. From a quick search around I found this page about working with facebook chat client.
That would indicate that facebook chat runs of an XMPP based message server, and from within the forums found this thread that looks promising about the use of XMPP in laview, between the two of them you should be able to find a good place to start.
Happy hunting.

You can send mail to them. It will appear to them in message.
Suppose user name is abcd.123
then you can send mail to abcd.123@facebook.com. You just need to work on sending emails from labview

First ensure you can send mail to gmail and other. Once done using 123.456@facebook.com. If no error then you will definately receive the mail

I think messages sent to facebook via the <username>@facebook.com go into a different inbox. Look in the messages tab for something like 'other messages' and you should find it in there.

You can do this with twitter. http://vipm.jki.net/#!/package/i3_twitter The code is unlocked, so you might be able to adapt the OAuth for Facebook's API.

After few second I got mail from FB in my gmail
Just a reminder, any emails sent to your Facebook email address (12345@facebook.com) will now be forwarded to this email address (abc@gmail.com). You won't be able to view these emails on Facebook anymore. |
Thanks
