We have tested a wide variety of IoT platforms in this opportunity we will create an account on the platform Ubidots, this initiative was born to facilitate the connection of devices applied to the industrial and health. To highlight the large number of available devices (libraries and integrations) to connect with ubidots. Ubidots has 2…

Electricity consumption meter Peacefair PZEM 004 + ESP8266 & Arduino Nano
For some time I wanted to buy a single-phase electricity consumption meter, a few months ago I got Peacefair Reference PZEM-004 meter, its price seemed affordable, it has the advantages of being a non-invasive meter in the electrical circuit and has a communication protocol to request data such as Active Instantaneous Power “kW”, Voltage “V”,…
Electric Consumption with Meter CHINT (pulses) + ESP8266 & Matrix led MAX7912
This time we will return to an interesting project, the measurement of electrical consumption in an invasive way with a CHINT DDS666 Meter Mono phase, technically it is a residential or residential meter that we have already presented in previous tutorials, finally I will finish what I started more than a year: Warning: Caution is…
Measuring DC Voltage with Arduino and Node-RED
There are a lot of tutorials DC voltage measurement with Arduino, in this case I found a tutorial that I consider the best functional method to measure DC without requiring input values of resistance, only requires some resistance and a multimeter, In next tutorials we will start with solar panels and we need to measure…
Introduction Platform Mongoose OS
For a long time I wanted to test Mongoose OS, this time we will make a brief introduction and installation in a Linux operating system “lubuntu” Ubuntu/Debian. Mongoose OS is an open source operating system for Internet of Things (IoT) and low power microcontrollers such as ESP32 , ESP8266 , TI CC3200, STM32 license Available under dual GPLv2 / business…
Controlling Arduino from Node-RED with Firmware Firmata
In this opportunity we will use Node-RED to control an Arduino MEGA 2560 R3, thanks to the collaboration of a colleague Absolutely Automation I indicated this method that allows to easily control an Arduino if complications. Also in one of the comments does anyone consult if there is a more practical way to control from…

WifiManager + Emoncms (OEM) with ESP8266 (Temperature) #1
The following implementation using an ESP8266 module and a temperature sensor ds18b20 allows the configuration and sending of data to Emoncms without requiring to modify or edit a line of code, facilitating the creation of parameterizable applications. After testing the Wifimanager libraries, which allow an agile configuration of the network credentials and additionally allow to…
Installation IoT Platform Emoncms in lubuntu Linux
We have done a lot of testing on this platform Emoncms part of the OpenEnergyMonitor Project, which has very attractive features if you decide to monitor or control your “bugs” Arduino, RPI, Esp8266 … Although we will emphasize on the platform, it is important to know the main mission of the OpenEnergyMonitor Project. is a tool…
Introduction library WifiManager
The main disadvantage is to configure the network credentials in a esp8266 without requiring to modify and download the firmware again, I have tested with several methods to dynamically store the SSID and PASSWORD of a network. In the case of the esp8266 programmed in Arduino IDE for some time I have seen a proposal…
