 # SignsOfLife (User Activity Monitor)
 
 This project monitors user activity on a computer and sends email notifications when no user activity is detected for a specified period and also when user activity resumes. It tracks both keyboard and mouse events and triggers alerts accordingly.

 Testing shows the process takes about 20 seconds of CI/CD runner time per run. At 30-minute intervals, this amounts to roughly 500 minutes per month. With GitHub providing 2000 free CI/CD minutes monthly, this should comfortably fit within your free allowance - assuming light CI/CD usage elsewhere.
 
+# Changing the timings
+
+This solution was developed to monitor a relative who works from home, ensuring timely response while minimizing false alarms. Regular activity checks help improve reaction times without generating unnecessary alerts.  
+
+If your use case differs - such as monitoring a device that is used less frequently - you can adjust the timing settings to reduce false alarms.  
+
+### Key Variables to Modify  
+
+To customize the check and alert intervals, adjust the following variables:  
+
+- **`CHECK_INTERVAL_SECONDS`**  
+- **`ALERT_INTERVAL_SECONDS`**  
+
+### Where to Update These Variables  
+
+You will need to modify these settings in two locations:  
+
+- Client: **Local `.env` file**  
+- Server: **GitHub Repository Environment Variables**  
+
+**To update GitHub environment variables:**  
+
+1. Go to **Settings** in your GitHub repository.  
+2. Navigate to **Secrets & Variables > Actions**.  
+3. Select the **Variables** tab.  
+4. Update the relevant variables in the **Environment Variables** table.  
+
+### Recommended Configuration  
+
+For optimal performance, set the **`CHECK_INTERVAL_SECONDS`** to **1/3 or 1/4** of the **`ALERT_INTERVAL_SECONDS`**. This ensures multiple checks will occur between repository updates, increasing accuracy without overloading the system.  
+
+
+# Building a solution for other devices
+
+The current solution is designed for desktops and laptops. Expanding to include mobile devices and tablets is a future possibility, requiring the development of Android and iOS versions of signs_of_life.py.
+
+The Android solution would need to:
+
+ - Assess user activity state every 5 minutes.
+ - Maintain a local state.
+ - Commit changes to data/states/state_xxx.txt and data/heartbeats/heartbeat_xxx.txt to the designated GitHub repository every 15 minutes.
+
+xxx represents your device ID and must be unique within your device estate.
+
+User activity state is evaluated over the past 15 minutes. If any activity is detected during this window, the state is "active"; otherwise, it is "inactive."
+
+ - state.txt must contain either "active" or "inactive".
+ - heartbeat.txt must contain a timestamp only.
+
+I welcome pull requests that add Android or Apple iOS signs-of-life monitoring capabilities to the repository.
