Connecting load sensors to the internet to provide email notifications of change

Projects General Guidance
1

I am creating a sample system with automatic stock checking. I would like to connect a load sensor (monitoring the weight of contents on a shelf) to the internet in order to provide email notifications of change to employees.

I know that TEMBOO and IFTTT are methods of communicating notifications, but through internet search functions. I would like to replicate this process but with a real physical function (the sensor).

Does anyone know of a good method to do this?

Thanks very much,
Maya

If you only need one measurement per day try a WIFI connect scale

Hi there, I work for Temboo.

Using Temboo, you can send emails based on the value of your sensor via Gmail or your own email server:

Gmail: Library - Google - Gmail - SendEmail API :: Temboo

Your mail server: Library - Utilities - Email - SendEmail API :: Temboo

You can even use the Conditions feature on our website to generate the code send an email based on the sensor value. You can find a full tutorial on how to send email from an Arduino board, based on sensor values, here:
