Is it possible to use Electron with third-party servers directly with using particle cloud? I was really hoping to be able to use the Electron in the same way I can use an Arduino with a SIM900 shield for example. Sending http requests, TCP, UDP?

Yes of course you can use other servers. You can use the http library. It works great with Electron. Also other libraries that are based on TCP Client you are free to use. [image] Spark Core Http Client Library Firmware Hello, I’m just starting out with the Spark Core …

… and beware that there is a bug (fixed now in develop and 0.5) which caused weird effects, if the response was short (see [solved] Electron: TCPClient weirdness).
