Instant Pushsafer notification from ESP32

This arduino sample code shows how to use ESP32 and Pushsafer. It is often necessary to be immediately aware of the condition of our appliances, eg when the temperature of the refrigerator rises, etc.

Things used:

ESP-32S Development Board or

ESP8266 NodeMCU-12E

First, we need to register a free account on pushsafer.com. Once registered, you will receive 1000 API calls as a gift, which is enough for many things. Once used, you can buy another 1000 API calls for 0.99€.

Download the app from your device’s store.

Log in with your pushsafer credentials, register your device following the instructions in the app.

Download the Pushsafer library, then unpack it in Arduino/libraries/. Restart the Arduino IDE.

Copy this code into the editor, enter the Wifi connection details. Login to pushsafer.com, copy the Pushsafer private key and the Device ID of the device you want to send the messages to into your draft.

The Pushsafer private key and device ID can be found here.

Once that’s done, upload it to ESP32.

#include <WiFi.h>

#include <Pushsafer.h>

#define PushsaferKey "Private Key"   // Private Key from: http://pushsafer.com

char ssid[] = "Wifi_SSID";

WiFiClient client;
Pushsafer pushsafer(PushsaferKey, client);

  delay(100);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) 
  {
    delay(500);
  }

  // This can also go into the loop subject to some condition:

  struct PushSaferInput input;
  input.message = "Test message from ESP32";
  input.title = "Hi!";
  input.sound = "6";
  input.vibration = "1";
  input.icon = "1";
  input.iconcolor = "#00FF00";
  input.priority = "1";
  input.device = "xxxxx";      // Device ID:  http://pushsafer.com
  pushsafer.sendEvent(input);
}

void loop() 
{

}

How to work the code

The necessary libraries are added at the beginning of the outline.

#include <WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <Pushsafer.h>

For the PushsaferKey constant, we assign the pushsafer private key, which is found in our pushsafer account.

#define PushsaferKey "Privát_Kulcs"

Enter the SSID/password pair required to connect to the wifi.

const char ssid[] = "Wifi_SSID";
const char password[] = "SzupertitkosWifiJelszó";

Create an instance of the WiFiClient and Pushsafer classes.

WiFiClient client;
Pushsafer pushsafer(PushsaferKey, client);

Connect to the wifi network…

WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
delay(100);
WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) 
{
  delay(500);
}

Then we create a structure, compose the pushsafer message and send it to the specified device. Don’t forget to select the Device ID from your pushsafer account.

struct PushSaferInput input;

input.message = "Test message from ESP32";  
input.title = "Hi!";
input.sound = "6";
input.vibration = "1";
input.icon = "1";
input.iconcolor = "#00FF00";
input.priority = "1";
input.device = "xxxxx";      // Device ID:  http://pushsafer.com

pushsafer.sendEvent(input);

This example can also be used for ESP8266. Let’s see the following example:

/**************************************/
//  https://myhomethings.eu           //
//  NodeMCU ESP8266 Module            //
//  Pushsafer Test                    //
/**************************************/

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <Pushsafer.h>

#define PushsaferKey "Private Key"   // Private Key: http://pushsafer.com

char ssid[] = "Wifi_SSID";
char password[] = "SuperSecretWifiPassword";

WiFiClient client;
Pushsafer pushsafer(PushsaferKey, client);

void setup() 
{
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
  delay(100);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) 
  {
    delay(500);
  }

  // This can also go into the loop subject to some condition:

  struct PushSaferInput input;
  input.message = "Test message from ESP32";
  input.title = "Hi!";
  input.sound = "6";
  input.vibration = "1";
  input.icon = "1";
  input.iconcolor = "#00FF00";
  input.priority = "1";
  input.device = "xxxxx";      // Device ID:  http://pushsafer.com
  pushsafer.sendEvent(input);
}

void loop() 
{

}

This is just an example, but can be easily integrated into your own application. It is so easy to send an instant notification about ESP32 using Pushsafer.
