This Arduino sketch implements most simple way to send an email using ForoElectro REST API. Installing it on a simple doorbell will send an email everytime it's triggered.
In order to use the API you need to get a ForoElectro account (free) at: https://www.foroelectro.net/arduino/
You have to validate your email in order to prevent SPAM abuse.
Then you can copy your ApiKey in this line of the sketch:
char* ApiKey = "YOUR_APIKEY";
You also need to enter your WiFi details in the sketch:
char* ssid = "YOUR_WIFI_SSID"; char *password = "YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD";
You can compile the sketch using Arduino IDE with support for your board.
When started, sketch connects to your WiFi and then sends an email request to the API.
Mail sending is implemented in emailMe() function, and it's so simple that even it only uses server's IP, in order to skip even DNS resolution.
In order it to work you must implement the power supply in paralel to doorbell. You will need to add extra capacitor(s) to maintain power during at least 3 seconds.
I'm using an old phone charger installed inside doorbell box with some big capacitors and my 1st ESP8266 ESP01.
