MQTT library for connecting to Ubidots using MQTT protocol and an ESP8266 chip.

I want to send mail along with this Ubidots Library.

But, I have noticed that there are several Mail Sending libraries, which simplifies connecting to SMTP Server, receiving response from the same etc... Below are the drawbacks I faced :-

• Credentials are stored as Headers. (Seriously?) Example
• They're using new instance of WifiClient and connecting it to same network. It's really not necessary. Same Example
• Some of them are having issues with latest Arduino version. Example

This fork exposes a class function sendMail, which contains all the parameters as function parameters. Fully Customizable.

1. Go to the Arduino IDE, click on Files -> Preferences and enter https://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json into Additional Board Manager URLs field. You can add multiple URLs, separating them with commas
2. Open Boards Manager from Tools -> Board menu and install esp8266 platform (and don’t forget to select your ESP8266 board from Tools > Board menu after installation)
3. Download this library as .zip
4. Now, click on Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library
5. Select the .ZIP file that you have just downloaded and then “Accept” or “Choose”
6. Go to Sketch/Program -> Include Library -> Library Manager and install the PubSubClient library
7. Close the Arduino IDE and open it again.
8. If you are using windows, please install the appropiate driver for your ESP board (CH340G if you are using a LoLin board or CP2102 if you are using an AMICA board)

Ubidots(char* token)
Ubidots(char* token, char* clientName)

Creates an Ubidots instance, you must setup as input your Ubidots TOKEN, the MQTT client name is optional and must be unique so we recommend you to insert random ASCII characters if you decide to use it, if you don't pass the clientName as parameter to the constructor the library will try to get the MAC of the device as default client name.

add(char* variableLabel, float value, char *context, char *timestamp);

Add a variable with a value, context and timestamp to be sent to a certain data source, once you use add() you can publish your variable using the ubidotsPublish() method. You can add 5 variables maximum before of publish them. Important: As this library depends on a Pubsubclient client, the max length of the JSON dictionary to send by default is 128 bytes, if you want to publish more than 3 variables and they have context or long names you should set at PubSubclient.h the MQTT_MAX_PACKET_SIZE to 512, you can see on your serial console the dictionary to POST if you call the setDebug(bool debug) method and pass a true value to it. For more information, refer to the PubSubclient official library: https://github.com/knolleary/pubsubclient

begin(void (*callback)(char*,uint8_t*,unsigned int));

Sets the callback function for subscribed topics

connected();

Returns True if the device is connected to the MQTT broker

loop();

Infinite loop for MQTT connection, insert it at the end of your routine

reconnect();

For trying to make a reconnection every 5 seconds if the connection is lost.

ubidotsSetBroker(char* broker);

Sets the broker properly for publish and subscribe to Ubidots accounts. If your account if a business one, set "business.api.ubidots.com" or the endpoint provided by Ubidots as your broker, see examples for more information. By default, broker will be set to publish and subscribe to free educational version accounts with broker "things.ubidots.com".

setDebug(bool debug);;

Make available debug messages through the serial port.

ubidotsPublish(char *deviceLabel);

Publishes the variables added to the specified device label.

ubidotsSubscribe(char* deviceLabel, char* variableLabel);

Subscribe to the specified device label and variable label of your Ubidots account.

wifiConnection(char* ssid, char* pass);

Connect via Wifi to the specified SSID.

bool sendMail(
      String smtpServer,
      int PORT,
      String fromEmailBase64,
      String fromPasswordBase64,
      String fromEmail,
      String toEmail,
      String subject,
      String message);

Sends Mail with above properties.
