hi,
I'm building my simple home alarm.
I was able to send an email notification if movement is captured by a PIR sensor.
I would like to add to the email a picture grabbed by the raspberry camera.
Any suggestion how to do it with EmailHelper?
Should I integrate a different SMTP client?
EmailHelper don't seems to have capability to send attachment, but that's possible in C++. you could suggest developer to add this feature in next releases.
Finally I was able to manage it via C#- I believe the code could be easily integrated in the EmailHelper adding a new optional parameter.
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Email Sender - Standard");
/*Configuration of the SMTP Client*/
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient client = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com", 587);
client.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("username", "password");
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.DeliveryMethod = System.Net.Mail.SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network;
/*Configuration of the EMAIL object*/
System.Net.Mail.MailAddress fromMail = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("email", "Easy Iot Server", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
System.Net.Mail.MailAddress toMail = new System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("email");
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage message = new System.Net.Mail.MailMessage(fromMail, toMail);
message.Subject = "test message 2";
message.SubjectEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
message.Body = "This is a test e-mail message sent by an application. ";
message.BodyEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
/* Opening of the web request stream to get the image from the camera */
string strFile = "http://192.168.0.14/cam.jpg";
string strLocalFile = "/tmp/cam.jpg";
System.Net.WebRequest objWebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(strFile);
System.Net.WebResponse objWebResponse = objWebRequest.GetResponse();
System.Net.Mail.Attachment objAttachment = new System.Net.Mail.Attachment(objWebResponse.GetResponseStream(), strLocalFile);
/* Attach the image to the email*/
message.Attachments.Add(objAttachment);
/* Sending the message */
client.Send(message);
Console.WriteLine("Message Sent.");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine("An Exception occurred: '{0}'", e);
}
