Overview of this book

The Arduino IoT Cloud offers a variety of features for building modern IoT solutions while reducing time and costs for prototyping and deployment. This book is a step-by-step guide, helping you master the powerful Arduino IoT Cloud ecosystem. This book begins by introducing you to the IoT landscape including its architecture, communication technologies, and protocols and then to the capabilities of the Arduino IoT Cloud platform and the Cloud Editor. With practical projects, such as monitoring air quality, building a portable asset tracker, and creating a remote alarm system using the LoRaWAN specification, you'll learn how to implement real-world IoT applications. Next, you'll explore communication between IoT devices and cloud platforms as well as the implementation of the Arduino IoT Cloud SDK and JavaScript for advanced customization. You'll also find out how to program IoT nodes, analyze the surrounding environment data, and visualize it on dashboards. Additionally, you’ll get to grips with advanced features such as task scheduling, synchronization, remote over-the-air updates for IoT nodes, and scripting with CCLI, through hands-on examples. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to work with the Arduino IoT Cloud platform and related hardware devices and will be able to develop industry-specific and cost-effective IoT solutions, such as smart homes and smart agriculture.

What is the Arduino Cloud CLI?

The Arduino Cloud CLI is a powerful tool to manage and interact with your Arduino projects on the cloud. It allows you to perform various operations, such as deploying and managing devices and generating a dashboard and Things template for bulk creations, all from the comfort of your command line.

The benefits of using the Arduino Cloud CLI are numerous. Firstly, it provides a convenient and efficient way to manage your projects without the need for a graphical user interface. This can be particularly useful if you prefer working with command-line tools, or if you integrate Arduino into an automated workflow.

The Arduino Cloud CLI serves as a command-line utility, enabling you to interact with the key functionalities of the Arduino IoT Cloud through a terminal. It provides the capability to accomplish the following tasks:

  • Duplicate existing Things and dashboards by extracting their templates
  • Execute mass OTA uploads
  • Generate devices...
