Webhook for ESP32 monitoring

[diegostf]

Hello,

I need to monitor my devices to check if they are online (when one of them goes offline, I signal it with a sound alarm). One approach I considered is using webhooks to send a datastream value (time update) from each device (10 in total) to an ESP32 in another location that will monitor them. Is this an appropriate solution?
For this, how do I define the webhook URL (for the ESP32 that will be doing the monitoring)? Does anyone have a example of how to send datastreams to another device (ESP32)?

Okay, I’ve been doing some testing this afternoon. I’ve been using an ESP32 and the HTTPClient.h library. I’ve not tested with an ESP8266 and the ESP8266HTTPClient.h library, but I wouldn’t expect the results to be much different. I’ve managed to use the HTTPS API call with both the BlynkSimpleEsp32.h and BlynkSimpleEsp32_SSL.h libraries, however, the response times from the HTTPS API call are much longer than when using the HTTP API call. I guess this is what was causing @Blynk_Coeur’s -5 err…
