Sending Email using Arduino Uno and ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module

We are moving towards the World of Internet of Things (IoT). This technology plays a very important role in the Electronics and Embedded system. Sending an Email from any Microcontroller or Embedded system is very basic thing, which is required in IoT. So in this article, we will learn “How to send an Email using Wi-Fi and Arduino”.

For sending Email via Wi-Fi module and Arduino, first of all we need to have an Email account. So user can create email account at smtp2go.com. After signup, remember your new email address and password.

You can also learn How to Call and Message using Arduino.

 

We can understand the whole process in below Steps:

Step 1: First arrange all the required Components.

  • Arduino UNO
  • ESP8266 Wi-Fi module
  • USB Cable
  • Laptop   
  • 16x2 LCD (optional)
  • 10K POT   (optional)
  • Power supply
  • Connecting wires

Wi-Fi Module ESP8266:

ESP8266 Wi-Fi-module

 

Step 2: In this step we will connect ESP8266 Wi-Fi module with Arduino and give it power supply from 3.3v pin of Arduino.

Step 3: In this step, we need to sign-up for Email address and Password (smtp2go.com). smtp2go.com provides the email services, to send the emails using outgoing email server.

Send Email using Arduino smtp2go.com signup

 

Step 4: We will need Username and Password in base64 encoded format with utf-8 character set. For converting the Email and Password in base64 encoded format use below given link. Keep the encoded username and password handy, we need it in our program to login at smtp2go.com.

https://www.base64encode.org/

Send Email using Arduino base64_encode

 

Step 5: Now start writing code for sending Email. ‘Programming Explanation’ and Code is given at the end.

 

Circuit Explanation:

Circuit is very simple, for this project we only need Arduino and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module. A 16x2 LCD is also connected for displaying the status messages. This LCD is optional. ESP8266’s Vcc and GND pins are directly connected to 3.3V and GND of Arduino and CH_PD is also connected with 3.3V.

Tx and Rx pins of ESP8266 are directly connected to pin 2 and 3 of Arduino. And Pin 2 of Arduino is also shorted with Tx pin (Pin 1) of Arduino. This pin is shorted for displaying response of ESP8266 directly on Serial monitor of Arduino. Software Serial Library is used to allow serial communication on pin 2 and 3 of Arduino.

Send Email using Arduino and Wifi Module Circuit Diagram

Note: For watching the response of ESP8266 on Serial Monitor, don’t initialise the Serial.begin(9600) function.

 

Programming Explanation:

1. In programming part first we include libraries and define pins for LCD & software serial communication. By default Pin 0 and 1 of Arduino are used for serial communication but by using SoftwareSerial library, we can allow serial communication on other digital pins of the Arduino.

 

2. void connect_wifi(String cmd, int t) Function is defined to Connect the Wi-Fi module to the Internet.

void connect_wifi(String cmd, int t)
{
  int temp=0,i=0;
  while(1)
  {
    Serial1.println(cmd); 
    while(Serial1.available())
    {
      if(Serial1.find("OK"))
      ... .... ....
      ... .....

3. After it connect module to SMTP server by using given commands:

 lcd.print("Configuring Email..");
  Serial1.println("AT+CIPSTART=4,\"TCP\",\"mail.smtp2go.com\",2525");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,20");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("EHLO 192.168.1.123");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,12");

Note: Many email servers will not accept email from a non-commercial, dhcp-issued ip address.

 

4. Now we will try to Login at smtp2go.co, using the base64 encoded User name and password, which we have derived in Step 4 above.

lcd.print("Try To Login.....");
  Serial1.println("AUTH LOGIN");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,30");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("c2FkZGFtNDIwMUBnbWFpbC5jb20=");     //base64 encoded username
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,18");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("Y2lyY3VpdDQyMDE=");                //base64 encoded password

5. After this, enter your main message that user want to send. And send this email by ending line (sending)  ‘.’

  Serial1.println("Testing Success");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,3");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println('.');
  delay(10000);
  Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,6");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("QUIT");
  ... .....
  .......

Other functions and Code are self-explanatory and easy to understand.

Hi, my LCD ago marked 'GET WIFI IP "and the program runs in a loop by giving me the IP address of the wireless card or something else. Why?

Hyy Maddy...
I don't know why code is showing error in the line connect_wifi("AT+CWJAP=\"1st floor\",\"muda1884\"",7000);
Here my code is connect_wifi("Android AP_2704",kavita123); telling "my password" was not declared in this scope.

Please help me out.

Hi!
Having fun working this through. I don't have an LCD, and you mention "Note: For watching the response of ESP8266 on Serial Monitor, don’t initialise the Serial.begin(9600) function.". Can someone explain how to do that in the code?
MANY thanks!

Hi,
thanks for writing this tutorial. But i got a problem.

Im always stuck on "Getting IP Add."
The eps is visible in my router overview and also got an ip adress.

AT+CIFSR

192.168.4.1
192.168.178.48

OK

but it wont stop asking for a ip adress.
What am i doing wrong?

Thank you sir.. I can confirm that this is working. Simple and easy..just follow the steps. I set it up to sent me an email when there is an alarm trigger at home.I wrote the commands in an progmem array and used a for function to call them so they dont use ram.The only problem is that the email applications dont refresh/synchronise on smartphones to often.

If your phone doesn't check mail too often, send the email to a email-to-SMS gateway. Most cell providers have a way to do that. Research it.

Very goog job ......BUT....

if i give the AT command by hand for the '.' (DOT, for terminate the text of the email) in the serial monitor works and send me an email

BUT if i put this in the code doesn't work see below....please help me thanks a lot

Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=3");
delay(2000);
Serial1.println('.');

so when you write in serial monitor AT command you must digit AT+CIPSEND=3 and it works

but when you write in your code you must write this
Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,3");

Sir I found your tutorial very helpful. I have encountered a slight problem. When i send the EHLO command i dont get any response. Is there any need for port forwarding before i make this connection? Or is it something else?
Thank you.

There are two subtle mistakes in the program, kindly rectify  
 
1. This is a typo mistake 
 Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,34");
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("MAIL FROM:<saddam4201@ gmail.com>");  // there is a space after @
  delay(2000);  
  Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,32");

  lcd.print("Saddam4201@ gmail");
  Serial1.println("RCPT To:<saddam4201@ gmail.com>"); // there is a space after @
 
2. Number of Char to send is give as a higher number
Serial1.println("AT+CIPSEND=4,24"); //should have been AT+CIPSEND=4,17
  delay(2000);
  Serial1.println("Testing Success");

I just used part of your code to send email from a ATWINC1500 on a Adafruit Feather M0.
it works well. I did not know SMPT protocol or that it would be easy to do until I read your explanation.

Hi,
Thanks for this tutoriel
I made an account in smtp2go and I use AT commands to send an email with my arduino uno and my esp8266 module
All steps are successfully done, but when I check my gmail account, I cannot find any email (even in Spams)
Is this issue related to only gmail or there is another problem ?

when I try to create an account at the SMTP2GO site it says that it is not available in my country..are there any other alternatives which have a very close functionality to this one?

Hi, nice project.
Well, i've been trying to make this work for a few days, but i got this problem. Everything works fine until this point.

+IPD,4,25:501 Invalid base64 data
AT+CIPSEND=4,17

OK
>
Recv 17 bytes

SEND OK

+IPD,4,26:500 unrecognized command
AT+CIPSEND=4,3

OK
>
Recv 3 bytes

SEND OK

+IPD,4,26:500 unrecognized command
AT+CIPSEND=4,6

Do you know what it could be?
Thank you a lot

Hi,

I am unable to load the code from arduino ide to esp8266
Sketch uses 232,505 bytes (53%) of program storage space. Maximum is 434,160 bytes.
Global variables use 32,504 bytes (39%) of dynamic memory, leaving 49,416 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81,920 bytes.

warning: espcomm_sync failed
error: espcomm_open failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed
error: espcomm_upload_mem failed

Need URGENT Help, someone can directly contact me on msyukahn94@gmail.com

Please HELP here...
