Arduino IoT platform is great particularly if you want to avoid backend configuration, and management and want a nice mobile app UI. There are certain differences with self-hosted IoT solution and platforms such as IBM Watson IoT. As it is officially from the creators of Arduino, it is easy on certain parts of the work but it is obscured too. The documentation is not easy for everyone and that is … [Read more...]
How Companies Are Using Software To Dominate Their Industry
Have you ever thought about how companies use software to dominate their industry? Within the global economy, businesses are expanding.

ESP32 Arduino IoT Relay Control (PHP MySQL Based Self Hosted)
This is the first guide for the series of guides to replace the setup for IBM Watson IoT based projects. If you look at our old articles and GitHub repository, you will realize that we were publishing IBM Watson IoT-centric sketches for the past 4 years. A significant time and effort were spent and our innocent readers were using them. Suddenly they came to know that IBM Watson IoT platform will … [Read more...]
How to Create Own PHP Based IoT Webserver for ESP32 Arduino
You can create your PHP MySQL-based personal IoT web server, even use WordPress or some PHP-based admin panel, toggle button, gauges etc. We can always send HTTP POST Request to a Secure Webpage with PHP, but that will need a web server which will support the protocol. You can do it with ThingsBoard, but that is not what we are talking about. We are talking about a simple setup where you … [Read more...]
Why Google, IBM and SAP are Closing Their IoT Platforms
Google, IBM and SAP are three of the most well-known companies in the world. They’re also three of the most recent to announce that they’re shutting down their IoT platforms. So, what gives? The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interconnected devices and sensors that collect and share data. These devices can be anything from fitness trackers to industrial machines. And while the concept … [Read more...]
Reading Voltage With Arduino
Reading voltage with Arduino is easy. You'll need only a potentiometer to adjust the resistance. Despite being easy, this project is great for kids because it explains the basics of the 5V logic of electronics. The components you need are a breadboard, an Arduino Uno R3, a potentiometer and two jumpers. With digital input, 5V is perceived as HIGH and 0V as LOW. But, electricity does not only … [Read more...]
14 Tricks for Samsung Gallery App
If you are a Samsung Galaxy smartphone owner, then it is likely that you are using fewer features than Samsung Gallery App provides. Most of us never read the documentation and directly try to use the app. That solves our basic needs, but often Samsung apps have more features to offer. One of the reasons Samsung smartphone costs more is because of the bundled free apps. In a separate article, we … [Read more...]

Both devices offer a wealth of features and advanced specifications that cater to different needs. So, which one should you buy? In this blog post, we will compare the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra side-by-side to help you make a decision. The Galaxy S22 … [Read more...]
How to Setup ThingsBoard IoT on Ubuntu/Debian Server
In earlier guides, we have mentioned that ThingsBoard is an open-source IoT platform which supports MQTT, CoAP and HTTP protocol. Supporting HTTP requests is quite important in some use cases. For example, when you need a toggle button to control your AC powered appliances, then the easiest way is to control with a cURL request. This you could do with IBM Watson IoT, but as we have said earlier, … [Read more...]
How to Install Mosquitto MQTT on Ubuntu Server
We have already informed our readers that IBM Watson IoT platform will be discontinued sooner. We will gradually port our snippets for ESP32/Arduino to a generic MQTT platform to avoid this kind of issue in future. As a user of the Watson IoT Platform (or as a new user) you need to know only two things to run on your server - Mosquitto and Node-RED. Thankfully a lot of work was done by IBM for … [Read more...]
IBM Kills Watson IoT Platform : Details for the Existing Users
In a surprising move, IBM has killed its Watson IoT platform. This is big news for the tech industry, as IBM has been a leading player in the IoT space for years. So, what does this mean for existing Watson IoT users? And what will IBM be doing instead? The IBM Watson IoT Platform is a cloud-based platform that allows developers to connect devices and sensors to the internet, so they can … [Read more...]
