Automatic mission start
Is there a way to automatically start a preplanned mission based on some external trigger? I want to monitor some dynamic environment, for instance if something entered guarded perimeter, the drone is sent to preplanned mission to check what is the intrusion.

As a pilot you need to visually watch the flight. How would you plan to do that automatically?
I am making an use case as an researcher. The visual control will be always strictly respected. Someone will always monitor the execution with an remote, but I want the execution start on some external trigger.
David Ritter Those rules are FAA...what if he's in another country?

I'm not aware of that personally but...there is a whole programming interface that is available, so I would bet it's possible somehow.
As an alternative. Would you be able to do this with something like IFFT (If This Then That)? For example, I know IFFT integrates with Ring devices, so maybe there is a way to do that where you can record a set of actions and play them once Ring (or similar) is triggered?
Interested to know what you find out.
I am another country, but same rules apply. I was not aware of IFTTT before, so by your suggestion it is possible to make a set of commands in IFTTT to be executed by drone link app?
I don't know. Why not try it out and see?
Not possible right now, moving to feature requests.
