EtherEvent Arduino library for Network Event Sender/Receiver

[pearbear]

I wrote an Arduino library that allows easy sending of events between Arduinos and the EventGhost Network Event Sender/Receiver. It is also compatible with the TCPEvents plugin and any other program that uses the same authentication protocol. It works with Arduino Ethernet, Arduino Ethernet Shield and the W5100, W5200, and W5500 Ethernet controllers.

The download, documentation, and examples are available here:

I have also written an outgoing event queue library for EtherEvent:

Changelog:

2015-08-26 v0.2.0

• Unauthenticated option
• Support for long payloads
• Support for TCPEvents custom event prefix

Very good and thank you for your contribution!

I believe this is great news for users having arduinos for various purposes (myself I have already a private army of RPi's and use MQTT for communication with EventGhost)

Kind regards,
Walter

Thanks Walter! I did initially try out the pubsubclient MQTT Arduino library with your excellent plugin. I decided to create my own library to use the event and payload system to communicate with EventGhost or other devices running EtherEvent without having to deal with the broker/topic/subscribe/publish thing. Along the way I learned a lot and it works well for my needs, however, the pubsubclient library is more lightweight and the MQTT protocol has many advantages.
