Developing IoT Projects with ESP32

By: Vedat Ozan Oner

Overview of this book

Developing IoT Projects with ESP32 provides end-to-end coverage of secure data communication techniques from sensors to cloud platforms that will help you to develop production-grade IoT solutions by using the ESP32 SoC. You'll learn how to employ ESP32 in your IoT projects by interfacing with different sensors and actuators using different types of serial protocols. This book will show you how some projects require immediate output for end-users, and cover different display technologies as well as examples of driving different types of displays. The book features a dedicated chapter on cybersecurity packed with hands-on examples. As you progress, you'll get to grips with BLE technologies and BLE mesh networking and work on a complete smart home project where all nodes communicate over a BLE mesh. Later chapters will show you how IoT requires cloud connectivity most of the time and remote access to smart devices. You'll also see how cloud platforms and third-party integrations enable endless possibilities for your end-users, such as insights with big data analytics and predictive maintenance to minimize costs. By the end of this book, you'll have developed the skills you need to start using ESP32 in your next wireless IoT project and meet the project's requirements by building effective, efficient, and secure solutions.

Summary

With this project, we have completed the part where we explore the wireless connectivity capabilities of ESP32. For IP networks, ESP32 can connect to Wi-Fi. When we need to set up a WPAN to exchange data between devices, it supports BLE mesh networking. As we discussed earlier, IoT cannot be defined without connectivity and communication considerations. In this chapter, we gained important hands-on experience with the networking capabilities of ESP32, which we can leverage in any real-life IoT project.

The next chapter is devoted to cloud platforms and services, and how we utilize ESP32 as an IoT device in cloud solutions to interact with the physical environment remotely. Integration with cloud platforms and services closes the loop for any IoT solution, where all devices can be accessed from anywhere in the world and data coming from those IoT devices is stored for further processing.
