Cloud Based SMS vs Push Notifications for IoT
A Brief Article on Cloud Based SMS vs Push Notifications for IoT Will Help the Developers to Choose Between Two Options With Maximum Delivery Rate. Obviously, we can use a GSM module with 1-2 IoT setup. But when the number of devices increases, Wi-Fi becomes the obvious choice for connectivity. Furthermore, the GSM module will demand a SIM card and SIM card commonly have some payments to send SMS … [Read more...]
What SaaS Customers Expect From the SaaS Providers

ESP32 Arduino : Create a Webpage to Control a Relay Module
Here is How to Create a Webpage to Control a Relay Module Using ESP32 Arduino. For this project, one needs to setup ESP32 with Arduino in the manner we described earlier. It is a Wi-Fi based project (not IoT). This is a basic example which provides the base of advanced projects. Previously we published few basic projects with relay. Use separate DC voltage supply for the relay (avoid AC for … [Read more...]
