  1. Background Recently while writing and testing some email related code I got annoyed and decided to make an easier way to automate listening for emails and performing actions when they arrive. The result is websocket.email and to demonstrate how easy it is to use, let's make an email controlled gate opener using a raspberry pi and a tiny shell script. The hardware A gate. A gate opener. A raspberry pi 3 with linux installed. A raspberry pi GPIO 'cobbler' breadboard adapter. A breadboard. An NPN transistor and a 1k resistor. The abridged theory When the button is pressed circuit is powered, opening the gate. Transistors also can be configured to be an electronically controlled switch and we can programmatically control the general purpose input/output pins of a raspberry pi to drive the transistor. This gives us the following circuit: Assembly Replace the gate opener battery with the power supply on the breadboard using a soldering iron and solder, remember to write down which terminal is positive/negative. Replace the button with a transistor (Use a multimeter and google to work out which way it goes.) and resistor using a soldering iron and solder. Connect the gate opener input, power and ground into the bread board and match it up with the labels on the 'cobbler'. Connect 'cobbler' to the raspberry pi and breadboard. voila: The software wsemail compiled for the raspberry pi 3. A free api token generated from websocket.email. Combined with the following bash script running on the raspberry pi 3: #! /bin/sh set -u export WEBSOCKETEMAIL_TOKEN=$(cat websocketemail_token.txt) # A secret id that people can't guess gateid=gate12345 # initialize gpio echo 13 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio13/direction while true do if wsemail -timeout 0 -for-address $gateid@websocket.email \ | grep -q "open sesame" then # Trigger the gate if the email contained the secret incantation echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio13/value sleep 0.1 echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio13/value fi # don't loop too fast if there is an error somewhere. sleep 1 done The code can be summarized as: Initialize passwords and GPIO. Loop forever waiting for an email to be sent to gate12345@websocket.email with the contents "open sesame". If the password is correct, pulse the GPIO switch, triggering the gate to open. The code is MIT licensed on github. The result Step aside Amazon IOT, you are doing it wrong. Also, I know my email address is in the video, send me nice comments Conclusion Interacting with the real world using software is a lot of fun and I encourage you to have a try at building something for yourself. These days you do not need to be an expert in electronics to make something that interacts with the physical world. websocket.email also did it's job well, and I hope it can also be useful anywhere you need to interact with email accounts ... perhaps even unit/integration tests at your software job... wink wink. Happy hacking! FAQ What do you mean 20 lines of code... There is go code in there!? 20 lines of shell needed to solve the task at hand, wsemail is reusable, just like your OS kernel, cat and all the other software it also used that you didn't complain about... though you aren't totally wrong. Why you wouldn't you setup an smtp server on the device? Why add websocket crap? NAT makes things annoying if you run the smtp server on the device, but I did setup an smtp server, and made a tiny api for it too :). Feel free to setup your own smtp server and use that instead. Why you wouldn't you use IMAP to poll the server? Which server? which account? Am I retaining emails? Sounds annoying. In my opinion the current configuration is a bit simpler for this use case.
