Daily e-mail notifications

The best part of owning a RainMachine is seeing how much water you save. How about a daily e-mail notification?

I wrote a script that generates this and sends it to me at 5pm every day. It wouldn't be too hard to turn this into a service. You'd need to provide your remote access credentials for the service to fetch your watering info. (Hey, API keys would be a nice alternative!)

1. Do people think this type of notification would be useful?
2. Is an e-mail notification feature going to be added to the product?
3. If not, would it be acceptable to the RainMachine powers for me to offer this service independently?

Here's a screenshot of my e-mail from yesterday:

  That's a great feature. 

  Although getting an API key is not difficult (you actually get a key when you login which you can use it further) this kind of services will benefit from using my.rainmachine.com login using OAuth flow (like we do for Alexa, IFTTT etc). 

  Opening this OAuth flow for 3rd party apps is on our radar.
