Good Morning:

After successfully getting 'tesla-geogdo' working with 'teslamate' and the 'ratgdo' board, I wanted to seek out a way that I could receive notifications of door activity / status on my phone.

I found a very nice program called 'mqttwarn' :
https://github.com/mqtt-tools/mqttwarn

This program can monitor MQTT traffic and issue notifications through a wide variety of means. One of the notification options is called 'pushover' which is a simple phone App for either Android or iOS. There are something like 70 notification methods supported.

I have this configured in a way that I receive notifications of both commands to the door, and also status. For instance, if tesla-geogdo opens the door, I receive 3 messages - The command to open it, followed shortly by two status messages (opening, and open).

Configuration of MQTT monitoring and resulting notifications are controlled by a .ini file.

'mqttwarn' is a free open source tool
'pushover' is free 30 days, and after that, there is a one-time fee of $5.00 to continue using the App.

I can provide additional details as desired if anyone wants to try this...
