const char* arrayOfEmail[] = {“email1@gmail.com”, “email2@gmail.com”, “email3@gmail.com”};
EMailSender::Response resp = emailSend.send(arrayOfEmail, 3, message);

That did Renzo, I guess I could do that myself!!!

Thank you so much for helping me in this project, I couldn’t have done it without your support!

🙂

[tpapas]

Renzo… Amazing! It does it now, it works like a charm…

I thought that the line // Ethernet.begin(mac, ip, myDns, gateway, subnet); was a comment and didn’t realize that it was commented out code! (Stupid me)…

Everything is perfect now, so all it needs now in order for me to close it is to email to 3 (or more recipients)

And I will let you be after that 🙂

[tpapas]

From a little further debugging that I did, on the matter of not sending an email if temperature goes above 30 degrees.

// Check if value > 30 and check if you already send this email
if (sensors.getTempCByIndex(0) > 30 && emailSended == false){
emailSended = true;

 // if sendEmail() is here then email is sent ok

// check if you had already send an email in the last 5 minutes
if ((timeElapsed+EMAIL_SEND_DEBOUNCE)<millis()){
timeElapsed = millis();
Serial.print(F(“Trying to Send EMAIL NOW”));
sendEmail();
}
}else{
// The value return ok and so if you are going over 30 again new notification was sended
emailSended = false;
}

So something is not working either with timeElapsed or emailSended.

By the way how do I raise the timeElapsed from 5 minutes to 15 minutes?

[tpapas]

Renzo… You are amazing!!!

Thank you so much for the effort.
I need some further help please.
The server now as you have it, works by DHCP and since I need to publish it on the web it does need to be on a specific static IP so I can open the port on the router etc, so the server must be on 192.168.1.45

Now when I ran it, the server started on 192.168.1.235.

I don’t understand what these do (since I set them correctly but it didn’t use them):

// Here we setup the web server. We are using a static ip address and a mac address
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };

IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 45);
IPAddress myDns(192, 168, 1, 5);
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 1, 5);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);

Also, I raised the (sensors.getTempCByIndex(0) > 30 and it didn’t send an email, and since there is no monitor debug output or anything, I don’t know if it did anything, but I didn’t get an email! (I did change all the credentials and API keys to mine).

And one last thing, when we figure all this out and it works fine, I need it to send the same email to 3 recipients.

Thank you

[tpapas]

Renzo…
I fixed it!!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha, I’m excited for this! After lots of research, here’s the solution (FYI):
<h2 id=”wiring-bme280-module-to-arduino-uno”>Wiring BME280 Module to Arduino UNO</h2>
Let’s hook the BME280 module up to the Arduino.

Connections are fairly simple. Start by connecting VIN pin to the 5V output on the Arduino and connect GND to ground.

Now we are remaining with the pins that are used for I2C communication. Note that each Arduino Board has different I2C pins which should be connected accordingly. On the Arduino boards with the R3 layout, the SDA (data line) and SCL (clock line) are on the pin headers close to the AREF pin. They are also known as A5 (SCL) and A4 (SDA).

If you have a Mega, the pins are different! You’ll want to use digital 21 (SCL) and 20 (SDA). Refer below table for quick understanding.

	SCL	SDA
Arduino Uno	A5	A4
Arduino Nano	A5	A4
Arduino Mega	21	20
Leonardo/Micro	3	2

 

Do you see it?! I was connecting the bme280 on A5 and A4 and it wanted it on 21 and 20!

So now that this is over and all is ok, I need a favor from you 🙂 since I don’t know how to do it…

You have the code, so in the code we get a mac address and we assign a static IP to the Ethernet shield.
I need you to modify your email sending code, to work with the static IP, place it within the weather station code and then make it (with an IF statement) to send an email IF sensors.getTempCByIndex(0) > 30 degrees.

Am I asking too much?!

</div>

[tpapas]

I will check, but remember it ran fine with your email routine! So I’m assuming that the shield is working properly.

[tpapas]

Thank you Renzo, sorry for the off topic!

I tried again and again, and its so strange, as soon as I compile the sketch on the UNO it works right away, on the MEGA it just doesn’t… And I can’t really tell where it stops (if it stops) if it loads in the EEPROM or if it wants to run and it stops somewhere etc… I m in total darkness, I can’t debug.

Anyway, if you need the cactus library, you can get it from here: http://cactus.io/projects/weather/arduino-weather-station-bme280-sensor

Renzo, good morning and a good week to you my friend.
You ‘re asking me what kind of problem do I have, it doesn’t work anymore!
On the UNO the code I will share with you works fine, it’s a webserver Weather Station that produces an HTML page with all the different measures, on a static IP.

Now on the Mega, no page loads, no output whatsoever, nothing!

Try it yourself (if you can/want/have the time) and let me know.

Renzo, that I could follow and do easily, and yes it worked, I managed to do 3 recipients!

Now, another weird and upsetting problem occurred though.
I stopped using the UNO and installed the MEGA (which is actually a clone – not original), the email app worked beautifully now with the extra recipients and all… BUT, the webserver app with the weather station, which (like I told you) is my main app isn’t working anymore!

So I’m drawing a blank, now, I don’t know what to do and why isn’t this thing working?!
I’m asking you maybe you have an idea, because you’re a working with all this Arduino stuff!

Could it be the clone board? Could it be some 47Ohm resistors that somebody told me that I should solder under the Ethernet shield’s ethernet plug?
No idea…

[tpapas]

How can I have multiple recipients now?

[tpapas]

Finally IT WORKED!!!!

Renzo, this is the line in your code that sends the email:

EMailSender emailSend(“<YOUR-SENDGRID-API-KEY>”, “<YOUR-SENDGRID-PASSWD>”, “<FROM-EMAIL>”, “smtp.sendgrid.net”, 25);

In the first attachment Sendgrid asks which method, WEB Api or SMTP Relay, I choose SMTP relay.

In there you can create a NEW Api key, I already have another API key created elsewhere in Sendgrid, so I’m not sure which key to use!

Then (in your code), you’re saying <YOUR-SENDGRID-PASSWD>, which password is that? The one that I use to login to the Sendgrid site?

If you can please help me finish this, it’s so confusing! Can I give you a Teamviewer or Anydesk if you want and we can fix it together?

Man, this is really a brain buster and frustrating!

I believe I’ve done everything created a sender, an API etc, trying the TELNET example and on the end it tells me :

550 The from address does not match a verified Sender Identity. Mail cannot be sent until this error is resolved. Visit https://sendgrid.com/docs/for-developers/sending-email/sender-identity/ to see the Sender Identity requirements

And I have verified a sender identity… Why does it have to be so difficult?!

I don’t know what else to do!

[tpapas]

Renzo, I ‘ve asked you this before but you didn’t tell me… Do I need to convert my credentials to Base64 or your library does it automatically?

[tpapas]

Well, I guess you were right Renzo!
I got a Mega 2560 and re-compiled… This is what I get now:
