There is nothing to disagree with the advantages and low cost of microcontrollers such as ESP32. But, by design ESP32 can not perform complex computing works. Adafruit's CircuitPython and MicroPython are good way to work with Python on microcontroller. But, there are many use-cases where using MicroPython/CircuitPython pushes to the limit. Cost of boards from Adafruit and Arduino are not cheap … [Read more...]
What is the Relationship Between Cloud Computing and IoT?
Virtualization is the technology behind Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing itself has different service models. We work on with self-hosted server with Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model of cloud computing. IaaS is used as a replacement of traditional virtual private servers, dedicated servers, shared servers for easiness, more control and lesser cost. Even at the end of 2019, the cost of a … [Read more...]
Control Multiple AC Appliances With One ESP32 Arduino
The result of this guide will be a local control panel with ESP32, pushbuttons, LED indicators, relays which can control the connected AC appliances by the simple pushbutton press. When connected to Wi-Fi, it will be able to control the thing over the internet with simple HTTP cURL commands. This guide and code can be used for home automation or creating smart power outlet. Single relay version of … [Read more...]
URL Format For Sending Commands Over HTTP (cURL) to IBM Watson IoT
HTTP commands open up wider way to control. This is the corrosponding GitHub repository with a basic example matched with this guide. Already we have shown the serious usages of the method through our Controlling AC Powered Appliances With ESP32 guide. Here is a Discussion on URL Format or Sending Commands Over HTTP (cURL) to IBM Watson IoT. IBM's platform is configured to accept events from … [Read more...]
How to Control Multiple Relays With Single Arduino ESP32?
One regular reader of this website asked us how we can control multiple relays with single Arduino ESP32? This article will not give any direct answer. This is a theoretical article discussing how multiple channels on MQTT can be created so that we can separate matters like temperature and humidity from a DHT11 sensor. Normally we connect DHT11 with IBM Watson IoT in a raw manner. In our that … [Read more...]
