Is it possible to get one electron force an event in other electron?

[izzy]

Hi all,
I am thinking about buying some electron modules, and I have a small question before I buy them.
Is it possible to get one electron force an event in other electron?
For example - if I press a button in one electron, the other one (which is 2 blocks away) opens a led.
if it is possible, could you direct me to the right documentation page for that? I searched for some time and didn’t find anything related to this.

Thanks in advance,
Izzy.

Yes this is possible by using Webhooks to push out data and then have the other Electron subscribe to that event and then trigger a function when it receives that notification. That’s just 1 way to do it.

Sure, you can do this using the publish/subscribe functions in the Particle api. It’s in the docs here
