Build a cloud weather station dashboard to visualize your ESP32 or ESP8266 sensor readings from anywhere in the world. You’ll see your sensor data displayed on gauges and on a table. The ESP32 or ESP8266 will make an HTTP POST request to a PHP script to insert your data into a MySQL database. More info
Those who have been suddenly introduced to the wonderful world of working from home over the last couple of weeks may have experienced a bit of culture shock. Even with today’s open floorplan workspaces and less-formal expectations, work isn’t home. That’s especially true with young children in the house, who’ll probably respond to seeing…
Connect your Arduino to the internet by adding ESP8266 WiFi Module! The ESP8266 Wifi module is a complete WiFi network where you can easily connect as a serving Wi- Fi adapter, wireless internet access interface to any microcontroller based design on its simple connectivity through Serial Communication or UART interface. Adding this module to your…
Schools are closed here in Germany until after Easter vacation, and that means that our almost-six-year-old son Max is staying at home with us. The good news is that my wife and I work from home anyway, so it’s not too stressful as long as he can look after himself for eight hours per…
Andy Bradford has been wanting to upgrade their heating system for a some time – but their house is rented. Damaging the house would cause them to lose their security deposit, “so the whole system must do no damage, be made only of removable parts and be installed without modifying any of the existing…
In this project, I’ll show you how you can build your own mood light. You’ll use an ESP8266 to remotely control the color of your light using your smartphone or any other device that has a browser. More info
https://youtu.be/Sn2sbEnmoYk In this project I have designed a remote WiFi Controlled Audio Source Selector Switch (Wi-CASSS) with a ESP8266 board which enables the user switch between two connected input/output audio devices over internet. Hence this removes the difficulty of swapping in the audio cables every time one connects a new device. More info
Often when designing Data acquisition systems, such as plant health monitoring in which case, the sensors are placed on-site, knowing the weather conditions may help in predicting the behaviour of other data and changes in physical requirements, if any. The project involves the design of an IoT based solution to monitor the data obtained from…
In this project, you’ll build a sensor monitoring system using a TTGO LoRa32 SX1276 OLED board that sends temperature, humidity and pressure readings via LoRa radio to an ESP32 LoRa receiver. The receiver displays the latest sensor readings on a web server. More info
To ensure the security and remote access we want to think of a new way to connect our door lock to our personal devices. Let’s think about our mobile phones, they have the capability to control our smart door locks through MQTT and available protocols. Then why don’t we add an additional biometric firewall to…
Every once in a while you’ll come across an idea where keeping time a prime concern. For example, imagine a relay that has to be activated at a certain time or a data logger that has to store values at precise intervals. The first thing that comes in your mind is to use…
A fantastic feature of any WiFi-enabled microcontroller like ESP8266 NodeMCU is the ability to update its firmware wirelessly. This is known as Over-The-Air (OTA) programming. More info
