Arduino Tasker-Autoremote direct message

Other Hardware Home Automation
1

Hi Everyone!
I am using Tasker with AutoRemote in my home automation system. I would like to send an AR direct message to my phone or tablet from arduino uno board. I think that, its a simple html request, but i cant solve it with Client.connect or client.print.

AR tutorial for direct message:
http://joaoapps.com/autoremote/direct/

I tried the web client examle code with different methods, but does not works. It says succesfull connect, but no message recived.

Can someone help me please to solve this?
Thanks:

As the link you provided lack in information, the only thing I can presume is, you need to make a request (probably a GET request, but can't be really sure), to http://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendmessage?key=YOUR_KEY&message=hi.

On the Arduino it should be something like:

if (TCP.connect("autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com", TCP_PORT) == 1) {
    TCP.println(F("GET /sendmessage?key=YOUR_KEY&message=hi HTTP/1.1"));
    TCP.stop();
  }

For experience, you might have some problema with the '?', I don't know exactly why.

If this don't work, you should make the request from the web browser and capture the package using WireShark for a better analysis.

Hi,

First, thank you for your advice!

I tried your, and my similar methods, but unfortunetly, for some reason this does not work.

I never used network analysis softwares :frowning:

I found the solution:

#include ...
...

char arserver[] = "autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com";

void sendToAutoRemote(char message[]){
  client.stop();
  if (client.connect(arserver, 80)) {
    client.print("GET /sendmessage?key=YOUR_DEVICE_KEY&message=");
    client.print(message);
    client.println(" HTTP/1.1");
    client.print("Host: ");
    client.println(arserver);
    client.println("User-Agent: Arduino");
    client.println();
  } 
}
void setup{
....
sendToAutoRemote("Arduino Started");
}
void loop{}

Tested, working fine. You can make alerts, notifications, and anyhing you want with tasker, on your phone. You can get your device key from AutoRemote personal link, inside the app.
