Hi everybody,

I want to know if it is possible to send signals or messages in the other direction

Smartphone-PushSafer-App =====> sends message ===> towards ESP32 (Arduino)
best regards Stefan

Hi Stefan,

no, only iOS, Android and windows are supported. The 3 platforms provide the service for sending push notifications.

If the Arduino supports the following browsers, it might be possible! Because Pushsafer can send messages to browsers: web push notifications.

With Web Push Notifications you can send short messages to your browser (Chrome 50+, Firefox 44+, Edge 17+, Opera 39+ or Yandex 19+). You can store several browsers in your account at the same time. To do this, open your profile page in the browser of your choice and activate the Web Push Service here. The browser is added to your device list.

you also can use the Pushsafer Callback function

https://www.pushsafer.com/en/pushapi#api-callback

For positive actions, such as sending push-notifications or registering new devices, the JSON response code are sent to this URL via POST with the parameter json. With this function you have the possibility to create automatisms in your own system or match registered device to an account.

I have no idea if this has something to do with my question about sending a message that to a microcontroller running no operatingsystem just running a single C++-Code.

Can you post an example where you describe the pure functionality in everyday words by avoiding all and every technical term like "JSON-response"

As an example fo what I mean:

If you want to send a signal from the PushSafer-system towards your Arduino-Device this can only be done through making your arduino-device polling a certain webadress once every 10 minutes and parse the received answer for a certain word.

If you reread the sentence above you will notice by easy to understand everyday words.

best regards Stefan
