Detect Smartwatch With ESP32 on IBM Watson IoT Widget

Advertisement

In our previous guide, we have shown that we can trigger ESP32 (with Arduino IDE) to send message to IBM Watson IoT in Presence of a Particular Samsung Galaxy Smartwatch. That process involves BLE and WiFi. In our one series of articles on Samsung Smartwatch as Proximity Switch, we triggered a local event, such as control of a LED. In our other series of articles, we used the IBM Watson IoT Widgets. A natural question arises: can we can make the ESP32 to trigger events on IBM Watson IoT when a particular Samsung Smartwatch will come closer to it so that we will get the status of the smartwatch, such as closer or far away? The screenshot will answer.

Detect Smartwatch With ESP32 and IBM Watson IoT

IBM Watson IoT widgets or cards can be customized with images and CSS. We need one of the default widget for this project. This guide involves a piece of code which is improved version from the previous guide. This is the code :
