Note: This Quick Byte is an application of the IoT Gateway’s email feature using a CM2302 Temperature and Humidity Sensor. A Propeller 2 Live Forum on YouTube provides a detailed presentation of the entire IoT Gateway (as of February 2022). The complete, detailed, setup process of the full P2 IoT Gateway on a Raspberry Pi (email, web control, etc) is documented on the IronSheep P2 IoT Gateway GitHub. Use this Quick Byte in conjunction with those two resources for a fully informed, successful setup!
The Propeller 2 IoT (Internet of Things) Gateway lets the P2 securely send an email through the Raspberry Pi (RPi) to one or more recipients. This Quick Byte demonstrates the email feature by using a CM2302 Temperature and Humidity Sensor. As a P2 beginner and first-time Raspberry Pi user, the new skills I acquired were basic Linux commands to navigate directory structures and using Nano to edit files.
The Spin2 source code for this project is available below and can be easily adapted for other uses. Applications with the P2 could include monitoring of many analog inputs or sensors in remote locations.
Benefits of the P2 RPi IoT Gateway for email:
The setup process for this project can be done in the following sequence:
