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.

Automation with IFTTT


In the next few recipes of this book, we are going to use another website to interact with web services: IFTTT. We'll see how IFTTT will allow you to quickly define powerful automation rules and actions that can be triggered by the Arduino board.

Getting ready

The first step for all the remaining recipes of this chapter is to create an IFTTT account at https://ifttt.com.

From there, you will be able to explore the first important part of IFTTT: channels. Channels are all the web services or triggers that you can use within IFTTT, for example, Gmail, Twitter, Pushover, and so on. You can quickly have an overview of the available channels:

For example, if you type Weather, you can quickly add the weather channel, allowing you to trigger actions depending on the weather:

The next important part of IFTTT is recipes. Recipes allow the user to create an action (on a given channel) when a trigger is called (on another channel). This is really the core of IFTTT. You can also quickly...
