How Can I Use Pushsafer for Real-Time Alerts from My Custom IoT Device?

[splatdreary]

Hello everyone, I recently started working on a custom IoT project and came across Pushsafer as a possible solution for sending real-time alerts to my phone. I’ve looked through the documentation, but I’m still a bit unsure how to properly configure the API to send push notifications from my microcontroller. Has anyone successfully integrated Pushsafer with an ESP32 or Raspberry Pi? Do I need to handle SSL certificates or is there a simplified method? Also, how customizable are the alerts in terms of sound, icon, and priority? I’d appreciate any tips or example code. Thanks in advance!

To use Pushsafer with an ESP32 or Raspberry Pi, send an HTTPS POST request to https://www.pushsafer.com/api with your private key and desired parameters. The service handles SSL internally, so you don’t need to manage certificates manually, and alerts are highly customizable via the API.

Can Pushsafer notifications be sent directly via HTTPS from the device, or is it recommended to use an intermediary server for reliability?

[admin]

you can send a notification from everywhere. All you need is:
- an internet connection
- make an Pushsafer API request via http or https

You also can send notifications by email (Pushsafer email gateway) or by an url/link.

There are many community examples of ESP32 + Pushsafer using WiFiClientSecure / setInsecure() or HTTPClient wrappers. For production prefer validating the server root CA
