About 2 years ago I made the first tests with Grafana using an ESP8266-01 module, Node-RED, Mosquitto (MQTT) and the InfluxDB database, by that time I did very basic tests which document in the following article: Tutorial ESP8266 Node-RED Granafa InfluxDB MQTT, in this opportunity I will try to explore more features since there is…
On this occasion I have proposed to measure the electricity consumption of my entire house to make comparative estimates with the collection of my energy bill and analyze. On this occasion I will use the IoT platform Ubidots in its Industrial version, previously we had done tests with the educational version, but this industrial version has special…
They are widely used for industrial applications Programmable Logic Controllers or PLC, I have had the pleasure of handling some of the following brands Allen Bradley, Panasonic (NAIS), Omron, Siemens, Opto22 and Festo. Many of these well-known brands have something in common they are not 100% available to us either by cost, distribution or…
At an industrial level there is a great variety of control signals in this case we will carry out tests with one of the most used control and monitoring signals in the industrial 4 to 20mA. For this first review we will use a PLC Panasonic but in upcoming tests we will test with other…
In my last tests I have used platforms like ESP8266 implementing LoRa modulation and in some applications with LoRaWAN, in this opportunity I will use the Arduino platform and I will manufacture a prototype I have contacted again to JLCPCB that they offer a PCB manufacturing service at a very reasonable price. In this opportunity I will use…
For a few weeks I have tested with LoRa technology, we have also heard about LoRaWAN, some time later we created an account on the TTN Platform or “The Things Network”, applied especially to these LP-WAN networks, for this new tutorial we will create a gateway LoRaWAN using an ESP8266 module and a Radio Modem RFM95/95W at…
In this opportunity I will realize the installation of Node-RED in my Raspberry Pi, in case you have not heard about Node-RED, it is a tool for programming and connection of applications for the IoT or Internet of things, integrates protocols, API’S, hardware and software, has a web IDE for connection of nodes in flow mode. …
In this opportunity we will collect tests with my new electric consumption meter PZEM-004T, making integrations with some of the most known hardware platforms ESP8266, Arduino Nano, ESP32, Arduino UNO + Shield Ethernet W5100 and Python in Raspberry Pi. For a long time I wanted to try the PZEM-004T of Peacefair, I bought my meter…
A long time ago I did not have a Raspberry Pi in my hands since 2014 in my first tests with my Raspberry pi model B, which we can see with the yellow RCA output and 2 USB ports. In this case I want to present my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, this small computer…
In this opportunity we will integrate our active power meter or power consumption, Peacefair Pzem-004 with the IoT Ubidots platform using an ESP8266 module, later we will create a dashboard to visualize the 4 available variables such as active power, accumulated electrical consumption, voltage and current . Update Ubidots Libraries V3.0.0 for ESP8266 modules I…
