With just a few lines of code, your RIOTOUS server can send email alerts to you no matter where you are. This article demonstrates how trivial VB.net is and why it was chosen for the RIOTOUS server. The last step is to send the email, which is done with Smtp_nd(e_mail).

Adding attachments is also trivial, with the commented-out code showing how this is done. Thanks to VB.net being incredibly user-friendly, this is a trivial task and does not even need explaining. Now that an SMTP object has been configured, it’s time to create the email itself. The last step is to enter the host address, which is provided by your email provider.

You will need to check with your email provider for these details, but the example above shows how to use Gmail. The next task is to select the port that your email provider uses and if SSL should be used. The first task is to not use the default credentials in the Smtp_Server object, but enter your credentials into the Smtp_Server object. You only really need to worry about the details themselves (such as your email account’s username and password). However, these can simply be copied and pasted without too much thought. The first few lines are needed to create an email object that will allow us to enter the main text, whom the email is being sent to, and who is sending it. The next step is to create a simple form application with multiple controls that will allow you to enter email addresses to send to, set the message header, enter body text, and various other options. Step 2 – Create an empty VB.net form application and create the basic code

However, Gmail so far has not complained when being used from a Windows form, so hopefully, you too can use Gmail!

For example, Gmail works on many different devices, but if a new device is trying to access a Gmail account, it may potentially be denied access unless verification codes are needed.

The email provider you choose doesn’t matter, but it is best to use an email provider that allows for access without verification methods.

Therefore, it is best to create an IoT-specific email account whose only purpose is to send email alerts, so cyber criminals cannot access personal information. While you likely already have email addresses, using your personal email accounts with IoT projects is not advised, because we will need to store email usernames and passwords, which opens up a number of security issues. So, how does emailing work in VB.net, and how can we use a simple VB.net application to send emails? Since all of these projects will be based around the VB.net RIOTOUS server, adding email functionality could be potentially massive. With the re-release of RIOTOUS, we can expect to see many RIOTOUS-based projects ranging from security systems to data monitoring. For example, a security camera could not only alert the user, but it could also send snapshots of the criminals as attachments. However, thanks to the IoT, such security systems can now use emails to alert their users of events as they occur. Typically, the camera would catch the criminal in the act of theft, but you would not know about it until you got home. Imagine the scenario where a security camera has detected an intruder at your home while you are at work. Since their introduction, emails have mostly been used for sending and receiving messages, but thanks to the rise of the Internet of Things, a new application for emails has arisen: email alerts. But emails are not just free, they can be sent to anyone anywhere around the globe, and are effectively borderless.

But email costs neither the sender or the recipient, which is one of the reasons email has become one of the dominant forms of communication. The same goes for the postal service sending mail costs the sender money. Luckily, people fell in love with online shopping! While there are many phone packages for sending multiple SMS messages, each message costs the sender some amount of money. When email first became popular, some were worried that the postal service would become obsolete.
