Read hardware status from hardware to hardware

Need Help With My Project
1

Hello everyone,

My idea is use one ES8266 to monitor all others ESp8266 online status. I know thats was possible I think on the past but I am unable to find the code.

I think it was based on the token you put the token and get status. Maybe I am getting worse looking for this .

Please understand I want to run my own code (pushbullet notification or email) if any unit is offline. I know that possible also by restful but I am looking to do it on esp.

  • There are one IPHONE involved so notification from blynk app are not useful because I use local server.

Check docs for Bridge widget and Connection Management.

Thanks .Looking.

@Costas I checked it and maybe is possible to do that way with bridge but I am pretty sure there are an easiest way I remember something like that Blynk.status(remotetoken).

The way you suggest involve more code probabbly I am wrong .

In restful is so easy look this code :

I like more code :slight_smile:
I’m not aware of the shortcut that you are eluding to. Is there one @Dmitriy ?

If you go the Connection Management with Bridge route then you will have to work in reverse i.e. everything will work whilst the ESP’s are connected so effectively at intervals you are checking for a “ping” and if it fails you know the ESP has disconnected and the master can send you an email / PUSH message. As you are aware PUSH messages are not currently available for local servers to iOS devices.

@Costas I extracted it from the restfull api.

I just want to do the same from arduino I think was possible.

I know it’s available via the API.

Http API - is separate connection. And ESP is not very good at handling multiple connections. So bridge here would be more suitable.
