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.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered all the types of commands that are officially available to us on the Arduino Cloud CLI. Firstly, we explored device-related commands, which include device creation, listing devices, deletion, tagging, and untagging. Then, we explored how to work with Things; in that section, we started with template extraction and then created a Thing using a template. We also explored how to clone a Thing, how to bind a device with a Thing, and so on. In the penultimate section, we played around with dashboard commands, and in the last section, we explored how OTA commands can benefit us by sending updates to devices via the command line in different ways.

This chapter was specially designed for backend developers and administrators who want to use the Arduino Cloud CLI to optimize their daily tasks, by using terminal commands instead of a graphical user interface. This chapter will have helped them interact with the Arduino IoT Cloud using a CLI. It will also...
