Overview of this book

Arduino is a powerful and very versatile platform used by millions of people around the world to create DIY electronics projects. It can be connected to a wide variety of sensors and other components, making it the ideal platform to build amazing Internet of Things (IoT) projects on—the next wave in the era of computing. This book takes a recipe-based approach, giving you precise examples on how to build IoT projects of all types using the Arduino platform. You will come across projects from several fields, including the popular robotics and home automation domains. Along with being introduced to several forms of interactions within IoT, including projects that directly interact with well-known web services such as Twitter, Facebook, and Dropbox we will also focus on Machine-to-Machine (M2M) interactions, where Arduino projects interact without any human intervention. You will learn to build a few quick and easy-to-make fun projects that will really expand your horizons in the world of IoT and Arduino. Each chapter ends with a troubleshooting recipe that will help you overcome any problems faced while building these projects. By the end of this book, you will not only know how to build these projects, but also have the skills necessary to build your own IoT projects in the future.

M2M alarm system


In this recipe, we are going to apply what we have learned so far about M2M communications to build a simple alarm system that will be completely based on cloud M2M interactions. There will be one or many motion sensors that will send alarm triggers to a central station composed of an LED and a small buzzer.

Getting ready

There are two parts in this project: the motion sensor module, and the central base module with an LED and a sound buzzer.

This is the list of the required components for this recipe, not counting the Arduino MKR1000 boards and the breadboards and wires:

Let's now see how to assemble those modules. We are going to start with the motion sensor module. Simply connect the VCC pin of the PIR motion to the VCC of the Arduino board, GND to GND, and finally...
