Hey Guys,
I wanted to show you my latest little project, a cigar humidor that regulates humidity automatically and sends me E-Mail notifications when configured conditions are met. I described the project with pictures on my blog:
http://dbrenk.blogspot.de/p/humidor-20.html
But apart from showing off I also want to help everyone who wants to add E-Mail functionality to their thingspeak project. When I started, I searched the net and also this forum but couldn“t find a good explanation on how to add e-mail notifications. So I figured out a working configuration and wrote a how-to myself, its available at:
http://dbrenk.blogspot.de/2015/03/connecting-thingspeakcom-to.html
And here the short form:
configuration:
1. configure a pushingbox.com scenario
subject: Humidor 2.0 Daily Update - $hum$
body: Humidity: $hum$ Temperature: $temp$
2. configure a ThingHttp - action on thingspeak.com
name: Humidor 2.0 Daily Update
url: http://api.pushingbox.com/pushingbox
method: POST
Content Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
HTTP Version: 1.1
body: devid=[deviceIDfrompushingbox]&hum=%%channel_24484_field_2%%&temp=%%channel_24484_field_1%%
3. configure a TimeControl - trigger on thingspeak.com
configure the time/interval needed
action: ThingHTTP
select profile: Humidor 2.0 Daily Update
explanation:
pushingbox.com -> $hum$ and $temp$ are the variables, that we submit via HTTP POST from thingspeak
thingspeak.com -> [deviceIDfrompushingbox] the id identifies the configured scenario on pushingbox
thingspeak.com -> %%channel_24484_field_2%% - variable from channel
thingspeak.com -> %%channel_24484_field_1%% - variable from channel
I hope this helps some of you
