ESP8266 IRCControl from Internet IoT v1.0 Part 1

How many times have we not looked for a simple way to communicate with our devices through the Internet without complications and / or complex intermediary applications, DNS, IP addresses or VPN’s. Many times I have been asked how to turn on a led, relay or view a temperature from the Internet in an easy…

Meter PZEM-004 + ESP8266 & Platform IoT Blynk App

In this opportunity we will integrate our active power meter or electric consumption, Peacefair Pzem-004 with the IoT Blynk app platform available in Android & iOS apps stores using an ESP8266 module, later we will create a dashboard to visualize the 4 available variables as active power, accumulated electrical consumption, voltage and current.    …

Tutorial Platform IoT Ubidots & ESP8266 + Sensor DHT11

This time we have tested the platform Ubidots, is an IoT platform dedicated to the collection and display of data, creating colorful graphics. For our test we will use the Module ESP8266 and a DHT11 sensor to measure the temperature / relative humidity and later visualize it.  Official Website: Ubidots Update Ubidots Libraries V3.0.0 for…

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…

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…

ESP32 eBox&Widora first review

More than a year ago Espressif released the long-awaited ESP32, these modules are low cost microcontrollers, low power consumption, Wi-Fi chip, Bluetooth and what is really amazing the Tensilica Xtensa LX6 dual-core microprocessor !!, another interesting fact has improvements in security and secure connections, is the successor of esp8266. Unlike ESP8266 espressif design the ESP32…

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…
