Internet of Things with Arduino Cookbook

By: Marco Schwartz

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.

Home automation dashboard in the cloud


In the last recipe of this chapter, we are going to integrate several projects we saw in this chapter, and see how to monitor them all within a single cloud dashboard. You will then have a complete home automation that can be monitored from anywhere using a single interface.

Getting ready

For this recipe, we are going to use previous projects from this chapter, so I will ask you to refer to the respective recipes of this chapter to build the different projects. We are first going to use a project with a DHT11 sensor, to measure the temperature and humidity in your home. Then, we'll add a smoke sensor into our home automation system.

Finally, we are also going to use the PowerSwitch Tail again to control a lamp remotely:

How to do it...

Once all the three projects are assembled, make sure to configure them all with their respective sketches that you will find inside the GitHub repository of this book at https://github.com/marcoschwartz/iot-arduino-cookbook...
