How to Send/Log Events

Send events using Firmware API
​
If you need to log an Event when the sensor detects temperature over a certain threshold:
1.Create a new Event named High temperature with code high_temp
2.Use the Blynk.logEvent(event_code) firmware API command to trigger new event
if (temperature > 35)
{
   Blynk.logEvent("high_temp");
}
When this code worked, an Event will be logged and the system will act accordingly to the Event setup (render on timeline, send notifications, etc.)
​
Custom Event Description
You can change the description of the event when it's rendered on the timeline in Blynk.Console and in Blynk.Apps. 
if (temperature > 35)
{
  Blynk.logEvent("event_code", String("High TemperatureDetected! Tº: ") + temp);
}
Make sure you enabled Timeline recording in the Event Settings to see the result in the apps
​
Send events using HTTPS API
To log an event use this request
`/external/api/logEvent?token={AuthToken}&code={event_code}
`/external/api/logEvent?token={token}&code={event_code}&description={event_description}
/external/api/logEvent?token={device_token}&code={event_code}&description={event_desciption}
description is an optional parameter where you can attach additional information to be rendered on the Timeline along with the event.
For example:
https://my.server.com/external/api/logEvent?token=Q9qdlGahPuFuCfncrT35QutT7s3HjYFy&code=high_temp
