Yay!! Cool!

In the meantime you can install node through opkg and drive the display/led through the shell commands. Check this for a reference.

Not the best solution but for now it works.

@esunayg check this post! https://community.onion.io/topic/299/dht11-and-dht22-temperature-humidity-sensor-code

Great to finally see a public roadmap of when we can expect features to be released.
This was one of things I asked in the survey.

Great!! Let's see if Blynk works now!

I'd like to know as well. The last comment from Boken stated they needed 2-3 weeks, and this was already 2 months ago!

@Matt-Ogborne check this topic, it has a precompiled executable to read data from DTH11/DHT22 in the Omega.

Finally!! This is some great news!

I was starting to get a little worried because as a Kickstarter backer I still haven't seen many of the things that were promised during the campaign. Even things like the Cloud and App Store that were supposed to be released in February (as stated in many topics in this forum) are still unavailable.

But this nodejs 4.3 and npm support is surely great!
Can't wait to do some tests with Blynk now.

Keep up the good work guys.

That was me. Indeed I got the Omega + expansion dock + oled display and was not charged any extra taxes.

I remember the 3 little boxes came all in a small envelope but I don't remember what was written on it. I have an order placed for the BLE and GPS expansions, let's see how that goes.

I have not tested this, but did you try with TLS and 587 port?

server = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
server.starttls()
server.login("your.email@gmail.com", "PASSWORD")

msg = "YOUR MESSAGE!"
server.sendmail("SENDER ADDRESS", "RECIPIENT ADDRESS", msg)
server.quit()

Run opkg update first, then opkg install nodejs to install.
Unfortunatelly it is still using an old version (0.10.5) of Node, there's no npm and not all packages can be installed (at least the ones that need to be compiled since the Onion processor is MIPS architecture).

We know that Onion team is working in providing adequate Nodejs support together with the libraries and SDKs to interface with the GPIO pins. However, since the roadmap has not been published yet, we don't know when we can expect these features to be available.

I believe once the app store is available we will be able to build and publish such apps.

Just voted!

If you're going to use Blynk you don't really need to setup a server on the Onion, you just need to write a NodeJS script that will run on the Onion (using the Blynk library) and respond to the inputs sent by the Blynk app on your smartphone (eg: button press).

Blynk works through the Blynk Cloud, this is how the Blynk app on your smartphone and the NodeJS script running on your Onion can communicate with each other.

The sad news here is that NodeJS support on the Onion is still very premature right now. I have been trying to run Blynk on my Onion for some time now but it has some issues, for istance it can't keep itself connected to the Blynk Cloud, so it's pretty much unusable now. The folks over at the Blynk forums are also still waiting for Onion to provide a better NodeJS support.
