Sending email without the App in Play Mode?

Blynk Servers Local Blynk Server

Hi!!

First things first, thank you very much for this project! it is really wonderful… I already have my own local server and everything seems to be working great…

But i have a couple of questions:

1st: Is there a way to make the arduino send emails without the need of a running app? I mean, using Blynk.email()…
(Of course i could call a function coded in the arduino, but my idea would be to make the sketch as simple and clean as possible…)

2nd: Given a positive answer for the first question, is it possible to send more characters in the body of such mails?

Thanks again!!

Yes. You need just to have widget “email” on your dashboard and dashboard should be in activated state. It is not necessary for app to be running. Just 2 conditions above.

We do not have any limitations here. Did you have some limit? Please explain.

Ok, great! I’ll try that!

Ehm… I thought so, if the body of the mail is large (couldn’t count it yet…) the mail never goes through, but if i make it shorter it does…

(I was thinking of the 255 symbols limitation for the push notifications, but i’ve justo re-read the documentation and it is just for push…)

So… I dont know, i’ll check other things…

Thanks again!

Well it could be limitation of your hardware. For instance Arduino had only few kb of RAM, So for sure your message could not be larger than that.

I’m using a Mega 2560… I don’t think it’s that… I’m narrowing it down to special characters…
Like " ’ " or " \ "…
